Never again with Easy rent.

Ace is an American company which has no presence at Bordeaux airport. You pick up the cars from Goldcar and the queue for the desk is huge because it is not big enough for the amount of customers. I had terrible customer service between Ace and Goldcar when my daughter was taken into hospital and I could not return the car because their process and systems are not aligned. I would not recommend using them

The only presence that ACE appears to have at the airport is a crudely desiged logo printed onto an A4 sheet of paper and sellotaped to the wall behind the Goldcar desk. It was almost impossible to find. Our booking voucher asked us to join the ‘Priority Lane’ but there was none. There were 79 customers waiting in a 3 hour queue ahead of us. There was nowhere to sit and we had to leave our children on the floor with our luggage. When we did finally pick up the car, the tank wasn’t completely full, despite being on a full to full contract, but by then we were beyond caring. We nearly missed the latest check in for accommodation because of the delays.

The car was very beat up and the guy handing over the keys said he didnt cxare what state it was brought back in. The car stunk of spilt alcohol and there was a hole in the front divers carpet. It drove okay although there was no radio reception. Later found that the aerial had been broken off. Next day with my wheels turned outwards I realised the two front tyres were badly worn and probably illegal. I looked in the boot for the spare, but there was none. I could not find any details on the booking paperwork for a number to phone. Very disappointed, the rental was not cheap but I was given a third rate /unroad worthy car

Didn't like rip off insurance extras and withholding over £1000 for over a week. The 'sell' makes the experience stressful. A scratch was also missed on checkout and the agent didn't send me an updated form as he promised. These moments and poor reputation of gold cars lead to distrust

The collection desk was much improved from the previous occasions and there was not too much up selling and threatening by hard selling the extra insurance for damages. I have already bought my own annual insurance for this at a fraction of the price charged by Easy cars and others. The car was ready but a bit frustrated that I had to get marks added that were not shown - makes me suspicious. Also marks of the inside was 'not included' which didnt sound right . The gent at the handover was top class and very helpful - a credit.
