Overall great, some of the inside floor mats weren't the cleanest, and seemed like there was barely any windscreen washer fluid so was difficult to clear the rear windscreen once ice had melted, as the wiper seemed to leave murky streaks.

I paid upfront for the car hire. When I eventually got to the Budget hire at City Airport (including £25 taxi to get there) I was told that I could not hire a car - due to a previous driving disq (which has now expired but remains as note on license for an extra 2yts). - I was never asked about this during the hire process; - it has never stopped me hiring before (I hired a month ago, not from Budget); - I was not offered a refund WHAT IS THE POSITION THERE? - my weekend was ruined I could not get to where I was going

Carl, Oct 2025

Mini

Finding the rental car location was about a half mile walk. I was told that there were no smaller cars as I requested, only mini SUV's and hatchback larger cars, neither of which I wanted as I am unfamiliar with driving on the English side of the road. The best they could do was to provide a small SUV which was a manual transmission and then sent me off to find it and drive it without any guidance on how the car operated. I walked back, rented an upgrade, after complaining the staff showed me how to use it and drop off was fine. I am so tired of the bait & switch tactics that I have filed a formal complaint and I will no longer, and I will advise all company employees to avoid Europcar. My advice: have the car someone reserved actually available. When you don't, offer an upgrade as a courtesy as they do in the U.S., and do not charge someone for it.

The person who handed over the car (Sheraz) was very helpful, cheerful and supportive. We had forgotten to get the passport but he helped us do the paperwork till we got it. However, there were no chairs to sit in the area ??
