I recently booked an car via easy car from 24/08 to the 27/08. When I picked up the car I did not get any advice on the rental of the car nor did they show me any damage or advise of extra milage charges. On return of the car, mileage coverage was about 400 miles although they charged me an extra £100 claiming excess mileage off 500 miles claiming I had covered 800 miles. This was totally wrong and double the mileage that I had actually covered. They claim an engineer is inspecting the car to investigate for errors but apart from this, all I can do is write in (although there isn't any proof I can provide)

I have received a similar level of service from easy car
as I beleive many others have. I intend to take legal action against them and am interested to know if anyone else feels this way. They have a total disregard for customer service which I think stems from the fact that the staff are badly trained and have no loyalty to the company or their work.

Two and a half weeks ago I tried to collect a car I had reserved 3 weeks prior.
On presenting my rental agreement to the representative I was greeted with a "Sorry no cars left". I soon learnt that there was no car for me to collect and when I asked what could be done I was told I would have to phone customers services for a resolve as he wouldn't be able to help me.

My mobile phone isnt set up to make premium number calls so when I asked to use the phone at the location I was shocked to learn there wasnt one! My only option was to make the 45 minute journey home and make the call from my landline. Any hope I had for a resolution was dashed when I was informed from another customer that he had been to 3 branches over SW London and all had run out of cars. He also told me somebody from customer services had phoned him that morning to tell him his car couldnt be collected.

After many attempts to contact the customer services number, I eventually gave up and had to frantically sort out the problems not having a rental car presented.

The only way to contact Easycar is by emailing them which I did 2 weeks ago and have not heard a thing. After reading everyones comments I realise that I should expect a refund in months not weeks time and nothing more. I will not be using easycar again and am making sure everyone I come into contact with knows what a terrible service they offer. Kayte Turner ... 14 October 2003

I wish I had found this web site before I booked with EasyCar. My husband and I were over in the UK from South Africa in Aug/Sept 2003. We hired a car from EasyCar Docklands Branch. All went well until we dropped the car off before leaving for a weeks cruise. There was no one at the Docklands Branch to receive the car. Although a representative from one of their other branches was called upon, he did not have access to the computer and was unable to receive or despatch cars as normally done.

On our return to South Africa a week later I was amazed to receive an e-mail asking me when I intended to return the car. My son eventually resolved the matter (he lives in London). Unfortunately if you look at my account the car is booked out to me up until the date I found out the car had not been returned. Since then I have been charged 100 pounds parking fine 45 punds congestion charges and 50 pounds admin fee all these fines were incurred days after I returned the car. Fortunately I have since been refunded however I hold my breath each time I receive an e-mail just incase EasyCar decide to charge me again for someone else's costs.

Their support system sucks!!! and what scares me mostly is the fact that it hightlighted the fact they had no idea who had their car for over a week. I can thank God it was never used in a Bank Robbery. NEVER AGAIN

I rented a car last Thursday 17/10/2002 at 09:51, Booking Number XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-X, at your Bristol St., Birmingham office. I returned it without damage before the end time of 18:00 on Friday 18/10/2002. I checked my credit card transactions on the internet and noticed that easycar.com had charged me more than what was quoted to me. I would like to know why I have been charged an extra £50 on top of the £26.37 that was indicated on my Rental Agreement. Yong Keuk Lee.. Birmingham ..23 October 2002

We would like to ask you why we have not received any response from the complaint we sent you three days ago regarding the £50 overcharge that you made to us last 19th of October when we rented a car from your Bristol St. Birmingham office. Expecting at least a reaction from you.

I wish I found this site before my painful and costly experience last weekend. easyCar does not know the meaning of customer support. My two day rental was supposed to be 37 pounds but instead it came out to around 150 pounds. Avis or Thrifty would have been cheaper.

I have sent several emails requesting names of people but here is their latest response; "We are a web company and it is not our policy to give out staff names We hope that this has answered your question."

Well easyCar, you can kiss...... Keri...8 November 2002

EasyRentaCar have been driving me absolutely crazy since this July 2003 when they took money from my boyfriend's credit card for a parking ticket. Fair enough you may say only, the parking ticket was successfuly contested at our end and the ticket cancelled.In the meantime, Easyrentacar took 105 from the credit card for a 80 parking ticket which, apparently, covers their 'administration charges' as well. This happened in July and I have been trying to get them to refund the money since then plus all the interest charged on the amount for the last 5 months.

I now have no idea what to do. There is no-one to contact, they don't reply to any e-mails that you send and there is no number to call. I can't even seem to get hold of the Head Office address. Oh how I wish to bump into Stelios on a train or in a restaurant! I'm sure he would be horrified at the bad name his company is getting.Does anyone have any idea where I can go from here?

I am a friendly and open to new concept type person. I thought EasyCar is a nice concept they cut out unnecessary bureacracy, automate the booking, have a simple fleet... I gave them a try. NEVER AGAIN!! They are as bad as it gets. They rithlessly take advantage of you and then hide behind standard e-mail responses so all complaints are left essentially unattended.
