EasyCar

We needed a car for our family of four (two adults and two long-legged teenage boys), plus a fair amount of luggage, for four weeks in September. Previously we'd used Ichthus Motors, a small firm in a rather inaccessible place in London which do cut-price rentals of donated cars for people in my husband's field, but a chance comment from a friend let us know about Easycar, a spin-off of Easyjet. After some research and much deliberation, we decided to go ahead and book a car with them. It turned out well: we drove a six-month old Renault Kangoo for the remarkable hire-charge of £176 total for ... more

Before hiring from easycar, I read many reviews which were mostly very negative! However I also read reviews for many other companies and every company seemed to have negative reviews so I decided to go ahead anyway. I booked online and paid a small deposit (decided not to pay the full amount upfront in case of problems) and chose the smallest budget car available. From reading all the reviews before hand I was aware that despite the low cost quoted for 2 weeks hire (87 euros) that there would be additional costs on arrival for fuel/ additional drivers and maybe more. After ordering online, I ... more

Recently it became necessary for me to take a trip from London up to Wrexham for an interview. However, after pricing up the cost of train tickets during peak times in the morning and evening I nearly had a heart attack. It was at this point that I decided to look around at the idea of hiring a car for the journey.

With the aid of a very clear website and easy to read and understand charges and regulations I decided to give them a try. The prices of hiring their cars are incredibly cheap ... more

SCAM!!! It takes a lot for me to start writing letters of complaint about services etc.. but easycar have stunned me with their scam. I hired a car with them online. The booking was accepted, and I was due to pick the car up the next morning from their supplier Sixt, in Bow, London. Just before I was about to leave to pick up the car, I got a call from Sixt to say they had no cars available. I was gob smacked. They even blamed me for booking so late! I was assured that no money had been taken from my debit card, but a couple of days later, I saw that easycar had deducted £98 from my card. I ... more

My advice is that you NEVER rent a car to Easycar. I rented a car for a week this summer in Geneve. When I reached the airport the instructions were to contact to Alamo Desk. When I reached Alamo desk, they told me that there were no reservation in their reservations system. I have to call back to Easycar in Spain, and after complaining, they gave me no solution. Alamo Desk stated clearly that was Easycar's error, they were also talking to Easycar and told them that no reservation was introduced in their system. I had to find a car by my own going desk by desk to all car rentals companies in ... more
