The car I was given was not what I booked and too small.

I have experienced Europcar before, they advertise a nice car and then usually offer a substantially lower model as the or similar e.g. this year I rented a Kashqai and got a Renault Kajar, last year a Merc E class and got a Volvo V90 and so on, I will try to avoid them in future as its an obvious sales tactic. I upgraded to a Merc C class that was good.

Vehicle was very good. Communications with AVIS was very difficult (following picking up car). I wished to extend the period of hire with AVIS but this proved impossible as I was unable to contact the Newcastle airport branch via the telephone.

The guy who dealt with me when i went to collect the vehicle was friendly, efficient and courteous.

Excellent check in and drop off process. Very efficient. Finding the avis pickup location was slightly difficult as there was no one at the counter and the directions to the location were unclear. However, the rest of the process was very smooth and no upsell of insurance was attempted..

The car at Keddys exceeded my expectations, the guy in the office was very efficient and pleasant. Totally nice experience. The drop off was just as pleasant.

Although not the car we booked, it was sufficient for our needs and very economical. Pick up and drop off was very easy, with online check-in.

All good, but the petrol was not full when received and had to return full to avoid conflicts later.

As always, the staff at BUDGET NCL Airport so pleasant and friendly. Cannot fault their customer service.

Budget was fine, the only issue I had with Budget was the car completely smelled of smoke for the entire time I had it, if it wasn't for the fact it was all they had in my category I would have changed it.

Vehicle handed to me in poor condition due to badly damaged wheel, if that had been my personal car I would not have driven it in that condition!

Pre-check prior to hire was not rigourous enough - this resulted in me being charged for stowed tyre inflator. This was apparently missing on my returning the van. So it was missing when I drove the vehicle off - unbeknown to me. For stowed (therefore hidden) parts, rental companies should have checklist of items renters need to check before leaving the forecourt. Wholly unreasonable for hire companies to expect renters to have mental list of all hidden equipment (spare tyre, jack, high viz jacket, triangle etc etc) that they need to check before leaving so that they do not get charged excesses on return! I contested this with Hertz and they waived the charge fortunately. But unpleasant.

Try to reduce the overall pick up time.

Landing at NCL with 6 people, 1 with a child seat, it's not too convenient for the driver to go to the Ponteland office then drive back to collect everyone. Why not bring the car to the airport?

Was charged more than additional quote scammed by insurance and upgrade, was charged £84 for a £20 park fine, took from bank with no permission and still never got my £100 hold deposit back

Newcastle Airport branch is very well managed. Efficient pickup and dropoff, friendly and courteous staff. No insurance upsell

The worst service ever! Had to wait approx. half an hour at the counter with a little baby despite of having only one person in front. Overcharged for a minor damage to a wheel I do not remember making. It took another half an hour to return the car, despite of being the only customer.

Like: Picking up the car was painless, I was expecting lots of paperwork and hassle but this was not the case. I was dealt with in a friendly manner and very efficiently. Would highly recommend. The vehicle I was given was superb and tempted to buy one now
Dislike: Everything was perfect.
