Good service

Counter staff deliberately misled us regarding Excess Insurance, claiming that it wasn't an insurance charge and we HAD to pay it..

Interrent charged an additional 191.39 euros, despite easyrentcars receipt saying I'd paid for the car and fully comprehensive insurance and no payment was due on arrival. This was like arriving at the airport for a flight I booked and being told it cost 200 euros extra!? I've then been charged a late charge of 40 euros and I'm still awaiting my 80 euros petrol deposit from May (now August) despite returning the car full and within the hour of the nominated return time. I called several times and was awaiting a response to the emails they had told me to write to. They then directed me to an online claim form, which I've just recieved a response to. They have informed me that the 191.39 is a compulsory charge, even though it was put in the 'Extras' column (therefore not allowing easyrentcar to claim the money back), and not included when or clearly noted when booking the car. It's been an expensive and frustrating experience.

Weird fuel policy. You pay a fee at pickup, then they refund you depending on how much fuel is left in the tank. How they calculate it accurately is debatable.

There were a lot of hidden costs that we were not informed about upfront, including a mandatory €1000 deposit if we didn't pay out for the extra insurance cover, and a €102 fuel deposit (which is more fuel than will even fit in a Fiat 500). Staff also didn't tell us about these costs in one go, even when directly asked 'what is the total we will have to pay'. This created a really negative experience for us and impacted on a lot of our holiday plans. It seemed like this was intentional, a way of forcing people into paying money without giving them the full information in advance, and it felt like we were being scammed. It was also contrary to the information that we received from our broker, Easyrentcars.com, which advised that we could be charged a maximum deposit of up to the equivalent of $500, meaning that we were missold this car hire deal. In future I will avoid Interrent and recommend that others do also.
