The rental company strongly pushed other premium models and insurance. I mentioned I already had insurance and would not purchase more. After I declined, they switched the Mercedes to an Audi and claimed that without upgrading there would be no navigation (although the Audi did have navigation). I had seen the Mercedes model when I arrived, but the company insisted it was unavailable. The service experience was not good. Fortunately, the Audi A5 was in good condition, so I didn't pursue the matter further.

Car had been smoked in previously and the smell did not diminish during the entire rental period, car seats and interior very stained. This is the second occasion I have been given a car like this from this location, whilst the rental staff did explain there is nothing they can do to prevent this from occurring from other renters they do state they will charge for a clean if this does happen, this car had not been cleaned. It does seem if you book via a consolidator with Europ car rather than direct with them you won’t always be offered the best cars but that’s the cost of trying to save a few pounds against booking direct with Europ car.

Everything was spot on but not the car I ordered. The replacement was ample but still, I see no point in you offering specific car models and then they aren't available. You should offer a class of car instead.

Still tried to hard sell me insurance. Showed me why the Axa policy sold by easyrentcars didn’t cover bodywork damage.

Good.

Counter staff were exceptionally polite and helpful.
