Bogus Damage Claims
I rented a Kia SUV from U-Save at Manchester (UK) Airport in May 2026.
Ten days after I had returned the car, I received an invoice from U-Save blaming me for damage that existed at the time that I picked up the car. They deducted GBP 1,435 from my credit card.
I corresponded with them over their claim and presented photographic evidence that the damage existed when I picked up the car.
They refused to budge so I complained to my bank over misuse of my credit card. Again, they refused to refund my funds. I understand from my bank that an investigation is ongoing.
I was clearly the victim of a scam.
Research has shown me that this is a common practice of U-Save and I would advise anyone to stay well clear of this company. They pull you in with cheap hire rates but make their money from bogus damage claims.

We understand why you’re concerned about the £1,435 damage charge, particularly as you say you have photographs and have already been in correspondence about it. We cannot establish the condition of the vehicle from a public review. Please send your existing case details to ics@cs.usave.com so our customer services team can review the records and your evidence in the context of the ongoing dispute.
Vehicle was good, service poor
Vehicle was good, however, got fleeced for damages that were not done by me.

We’re glad the vehicle itself suited you, but understand your concern about a damage charge you dispute. We cannot determine responsibility from a public review. Please contact ics@cs.usave.com so our customer services team can review the return and damage records with any evidence you have.
Though the hire car company said I needed more insurance
Though the hire car company said I still needed insurance for full cover. Though now realize this was not the case. Plus a 1 minute drive in and then out of Exeter Airport car park cost me £30. So beware!!!

Thank you for raising the insurance discussion and the £30 airport parking charge. We understand why both would concern you. Your review mentions Exeter Airport while the listed location is Manchester, so we cannot identify the rental accurately here. Please contact ics@cs.usave.com so our customer services team can review the relevant booking and charges.

Thank you for recognising the Manchester team. We’re glad the driver, office staff and return team all made a good impression.
Very disappointing experience
Very disappointing experience with U-Save Manchester Airport. I have been charged £136 in administration fees (£68 per notice) simply for processing two fine notices. One of the parking fines was subsequently cancelled by the issuer, but U-Save have still debited my credit card with a 68GPB admin charge. These charges seem excessive and disproportionate for what appears to be little more than forwarding notices by email as the customer is responsible for discharging them themselves. This has left me feeling unfairly treated and significantly damaged my confidence in the company.

Thank you for explaining your concern. We understand you dispute the two £68 administration fees, particularly the fee linked to a parking notice that the issuer later cancelled. We cannot verify the timing or basis of the fees from the review alone. Please email ics@cs.usave.com with your rental reference, the notices and confirmation of cancellation privately so our customer services team can review the charges and respond.
