I was panicked about a last minute booking in a city I'd never visited. The site was easy to use, allowed me to compare prices so I knew I wasn't being ripped off, I knew enough to look out for hidden... See more
Wearied in Britain for 4 weeks. The car was economical and roomy, a Fiat 500 . It was also gutless, with an awful turning circle and a gearbox selected from a Sunday market oddments bin. The usual rip... See more

Car hire
Easirent staff were great and car was cheap but be warned they are not based at the airport but about 4 miles away and a shuttle bus needs to collect you to take you there.
phantom company
I booked car with full coverage. Web-form on site have asked me to fulfill all my card related data. Payment for full coverage was done, but when I received message from insurance company it was reimbursement - not coverage. I've tried to cancel this insurance on the site - form doesn't work.I couldn't complete. I've tried to send request for support "I’m having an issue with the hirecars.co.uk website" - couldn't complete form. I've called by number +44 (0) 161 8362 929 - no answer within two days.
I can't understand how positive feedback written. It's a "phantom" service, because redirects to the another rental and insurance services without any responsibility.
customer service was fantastic highly recommended
Everything was made easy and carefully explained. The staff at Glasgow City were fantastic. They went beyond the call of duty and called us a taxi when we returned our car and helped load all of our luggage. Two lovely helpful young women. A credit to your company. Our hired car was so good that we extended the hire twice. No problems whatsoever and will certainly use this company again.
lovely car to drive
It was very easy to pick up our hire car at he airport,and also to return.
The car was lovely and clean and in good condition,
Did what was promised
Nothing was a surprise. It was straightforward, a good location and very cheap
Hirecars was good but won't use Goldcar again #Sharks
Hire cars site was great and easy to use - unfortunately used Goldcar at Faro, pressurised to take their add ons at arrival repeatedly with all manner of veiled threats of horrendous expense and risk even for the smallest scratch, ten had the cheek to give me an Astra with damage all over it! - also their toll road and fuel policies are a total rip off! Will use Hirecars.co.uk again but never again will I use Goldcar
Ramada hotel POOR SERVICE
CONNED OUT OF MONEY BY PEOPLE AT RAMADA HOTEL, WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE EVER AGAIN, SHOULD TAKE EGALITARIAN ACTION BUT WE "LITTLE PEOPLE" GET NOWHERE, VERY VERY POOR.
Fraud Company!! Horrible experience with Hirecars.
This is my review for Hirecars.co.uk
I booked a car rental through your website, for 2nd October, morning 8 am pickup.
Despite my repeated requests, through their website, writing email and posting on their facebook page, the company did not provide me with the proper address of pick up location. It was a horrible experience.
The email which I received from Hirecars.co.uk says the address as "Downtown Coventry" This is insufficient information. It can not be found. Downtown Coventry is Huge. I wasted my time in searching for them.
As a result, I have missed the opportunity for which I needed the car. I was also unable to rent another car at the last minute. Hence, I need a full refund and a compensation of at least £500. for embarrassment I have faced and for wasting my time, effort and opportunity because Hirecars did not provide me the car despite taking all the money upfront.
So, dear Hirecars, I will now approach Trading Standards and other pursue a legal action against you.

No problem with the booking at all ....but
The booking via the website was fine and I have no problems in booking again with Hirecar
However . at the time of booking I thought ALL the hidden extras were shown ....sadly not
When I went to Europcar they added things that I had no choice but to pay.
This is not the fault of Hirecars...but that of Europcar...
Great service
Pickup was easy, staff courteous. And no problem with returning car, despite nearby construction around Rail Station
My hire car.
My hire car was a Citroen CTDS31. 6DSIR. It was a lovely car to drive, I just wish I knew what all the controls were for!! For example, it took me some moments to find "Reverse". I found a diagram among the paperwork given me but it was for a Ford Astra!!!
I used just the Indicator & Windscreen Wipers & touched nothing else. I think that a quick rundown by someone before taking off would have been useful.
The instructions for returning the car were useful up to a point but feel that a little more detail re Junction 14 would have helped. I would advise anyone to just follow the signs for Terminal 5 and forget looking for the small Junction 14 indication among the multitude of other signs. I missed it and found myself (I think) on the M33!!!
Apart from the above I have to say I did enjoy driving the Citroen and would most likely ask for the same on any subsequent holiday in the UK.
Saves hundreds of pounds
I used Hirecars.co.uk to book a car for a few weeks whilst I waited for the delivery of my new one, in doing so I was able to hire a premium car at the price of a compact elsewhere.
Great price and no hassle
Lovely new car, good price, excellent staff at Bristol pick up desk. Definitely will use again
Good car and good service
Great Service
Registration process was fast and very efficient, there was a queue which was dispatched very quickly. Service was good and friendly.
Good, quick easy service
Easy to book. We were upgraded with no extra charge when we picked the car up at the airport. Dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Hirecars.co.uk review
I found the site easy to use and the booking of the car a set of simple steps. I had to amend the booking to extend by one day and that was achieved simply enough by contacting Hirecars via the telephone.
What stopped me giving a higher rating was the fact the additional insurance (damage waiver) had to be carried out through a 3rd party and therefore separate correspondence had to be produced.
I would use again and recommend to friends and family.
