Overall very good
Overall very good. A bit of a wait at the airport for collection to the off site depot, but it was a very busy time.
The rest of the process was excellent.
The car itself was great - better than we thought it was going to be.
The drop off and check at the end was easy and efficient.
A great company to use for the area. Thank you

Classic fine print scam
They are running a classic fine print scam. They only accept credit cards that are chip and pin, not chip and signature and this is not explicitly stated but rather briefly mentioned. If you don't have the very specific credit card, they force to you buy a nonrefundable coverage package that is basically equal to the price of the rental. Do not use this company

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that there was some confusion regarding our payment requirements at the time of collection.
To ensure a smooth rental process, we provide information regarding our payment and deposit policies at the time of booking and on the confirmation voucher. For clarity, our standard requirements are as follows:
• Security Deposits: We require a pre-authorisation deposit on a credit card in the name of the main driver (starting from £1500).
• Debit Card Use: We do accept debit cards; however, this requires the purchase of an excess waiver package to reduce the excess to zero. UK residents using a debit card must also pass a credit check or provide proof of employment.
• Payment Security: All deposits must be made with a physical card with at least 2 months' validity. We cannot accept virtual cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or cards without visible numbers.
• Exclusions: We do not accept cash or prepaid cards.
If you require any further information regarding your booking or this process, please contact us through the Manage My Booking portal on the Drivalia.co.uk website.
With best wishes,
Drivalia
DRIVALIA falsely said I left keys on a tyre on a previous rental
DRIVALIA refused my request to collect a car saying that 3 years ago their computer records state that I left the keys on the car tyre for a car previous rental - I did not, this is a lie! DRIVALIA cancelled my booking immediately before collection time forcing me to rent a car elsewhere. This is highly unprofessional and slanderous behaviour.
Following this Trustpilot posting, Drivalia messaged me apologising and invited me to submit my views directly to their “Manage My Booking” for a comprehensive response. Then I received a message and link from Drivalia saying their Branch Manager had responded. Shockingly, Drivalia’s link only said “CANCELLED”.

Do not recommend
I rented a car with Drivalia through the Easyjet website as it was the recommended company when I booked my flights for G;asgow in May 2026.
I paid 272.96£ for the rental online and was expecting to pay 135£ for the second driver when I picked up the car. I did not mind that, it seemed overall an okay price for over a week's rental.
I received a few emails before my trip and all mentioned the fact that you need a credit card when you pick up the car, amongst other documents: "A Credit Card (physical card) in the main driver’s name and surname (no abbreviations) with a large enough limit to cover the excess (GBP1500.00)".
However, NOWHERE did it mention that without a credit card you would have to pay 350£ if you stick to one driver or 450£ if you want a second driver. Those fees are ON TOP on what I had already paid.
I was not the only person who had that issue as a couple in front of me at the car rental place was being explained the exact same. And they had to pay as well.
This is extorsion plain and simple. Had I known that I would have to pay almost the same amount AGAIN just to be able to actually rent the car, I would have sorted a credit card before my trip.
Again, NOWHERE did it mention the price you would have to pay ON TOP of what you had already paid if you did not have a credit card the day you pick up the car.
On top of that, the van that picks you up at the airport (the company is about 10-15min outside the airport in Glasgow), had to LEAVE my mom and sister AT THE AIRPORT as they did not account for the amount of people that needed transporting that morning.
The personel is not necessarily rude or unfriendly but frankly not helpul. At least on that day.
I DO NOT recommend renting a car through this company and will definitely not rent with them again.

Very easy rental and drop off process and the car was great for a road trip up through the highlands. Connor at the Glasgow Airport made drop off a breeze and his shuttle ride was greatly appreciated.

Poor service - DO NOT USE
An OK service. The Car was nice, they got me driving quickly. In hindsight the car exchange was rushed, there was no explanation of the car condition check. I was not informed of the current mileage. When I went to pick up the car - the collecting staff member started checking the Vehicle without whilst I had nipped into the bathroom. He used a separate trip tracking metric on the display to look at the mileage (showing 513) as opposed to the actual vehicle total mileage. Then he asked me to sign a form agreeing to additional charges. I questioned them and he just said 'its ok, just sign'. With further questioning I got the same response. Another staff member came over to help - I had to literally do the maths on my phone, taking away my original mileage from the signed agreement away from vehicle current mileage to show that I had driven 296miles. I was entitled to 300. The charges were amended. I don't know if this was a mistake or deliberate. But after the fact, I see my condition report still has the erroneous figure on it...
In-addition to this the same staff member was speeding and was advised by my other passenger to stick to the speed-limit on our way back to Glasgow airport.
All in all I'm worried about the trust-worthiness and safety of the operation at Glasgow. I certainly won't be using your service again next time I travel. I hope this review informs other travelers and the wider Drivalia operation. I will be making a formal complaint, though the customer complaints procedure isn't easy to find and their callback system is terrible - call drops the moment they ring.
