Returning the car took a while, but picking it up was okay. They promised to give me a baby seat and said they'd discuss it with the manager, but I never heard back.

ERSIRENT at London Heathrow Airport (KV) took advantage of the language barrier. Despite repeatedly showing the printed statement from the rental service about not needing additional insurance, and stating in English 'I have all cover, no need other cover!', the staff didn't mention the £1250 deposit option. When I repeatedly confirmed if the three charges were all deposits, I got a confirmed response that 'ALL will come back to me.' However, when I returned the car, the staff said this was a charge and wouldn’t be refunded. They maliciously upsold the insurance. Essentially, I rented a car and ended up with two full insurance policies, costing me significantly more than usual. This has caused me substantial financial and mental distress. Customer service is handling it, and I hope for a good outcome.

This was the worst experience I've ever had. I kept getting harassed by the receptionists of Indian and Pakistani origin, while the car rental service kept shirking responsibilities. 1. They aggressively pushed for insurance, and when I declined, they started finding excuses. 2. They demanded my return flight ticket. When I showed them my itinerary from the airline, they claimed they couldn't read Chinese and refused service without a return ticket. When I called the rental service, they said they couldn’t resolve it. I had to barge into their manager's office, and only then their attitude changed and they processed my rental. 3. They claimed my Visa chip card wouldn’t work, and said if I used a magnetic stripe card, I’d need to buy full insurance, stating that the insurance from the rental service wasn't valid. When I called the service again, they still couldn't resolve it and instead suggested I contact the bank and mentioned we should have opted for a bigger rental company, implying they don't guarantee smaller ones. I had to barge into their manager's office again to get the issue resolved. Meanwhile, others in my group at a different counter had no issues. What problems can the rental service actually solve?

book in advanced and the price is very reasonable

Excellent service

The whole thing was a little duplicitous for me. They advertise the car at one price (£38) but when you turn up there is a compulsory insurance that makes the price of the rental completely unreasonable. I normally rent with Sixt but wanted to try this to see what it was about. The rental with Sixt was smooth, efficient, friendly and for the same car ALL in was £78 (different weekend). The rental with Easirent was average and inconveniently located (at best) and ALL in was £135. I don't mind a little inconvenience as a trade off if its better value or the service is out of this world but to be downgraded in every way and pay way more for it was a little surprising. Thankfully I had also read the small print in the contract and noticed the completely unreasonable requirements that they stipulate you require when turning up.
