Simple car hire

We waited at the North Terminal bus station of Gatwick Airport in London for a while before a shuttle from the rental company picked us up. The car pickup process wasn't pleasant. My husband’s Chinese license translation wasn't accepted. I showed my UK license but was told it would cost £15 to call and verify its authenticity with the DVLA, although they didn't ultimately charge the £15. The staff had a very bad attitude. Also, because I bought full insurance from Zuzuche, they said it wasn't valid, and any scratch or minor issue found on return would result in a £2800 charge to my card, leaving me to claim with my insurance company back home. We drove very carefully and argued with each other a lot. Luckily, there were no issues when returning the car. I’ve learned my lesson and won't choose a rental company with low rental fees but high insurance excess again. It spoiled our trip's joy.

Mileage shown on the out paper was incorrect-in their favour should I have done more than my allowance. Out paper showed tank full but it was only ⅞ full. I took it back full but it does niggle me that someone may be trying it on.

helpful staff and good cars!

Very easy to book through, thanks

They gave me a car with a lot of damage to one side even though they have plenty of other cars. We missed one bus because it took a while finding out which bus stop at the airport they do the pick ups from. This SHOULD be in the email

Good value for vehicle upgrade
