Pickup could have run a bit more smoothly - we were given the wrong bay number and it took a while to get a staff member available to assist. There was also no instruction or review of the vehicle with a staff member. The time of return was given to us verbally at the counter but never documented anywhere, including being absent from our electronic agreement document, and dictated whether or not we would be charged for another day of a rental - an easily avoidable example of their oversights. The car itself was comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Great gas mileage; however, the brakes were very squeaky and the tire air pressure sensor did not turn off after an air fill, so there was just a lot of lacking attention from the staff at Budget this trip.

Reserved car at 13.00 and came to location around 12.50. Finally got my car around 15.40. Based on other reviews the 2+ hours waiting time in queue for pre-reserved car is not uncommon at Hertz Edinburgh airport. All other rental counters at the airport had no queues.

Wonderful|Sept 2023

The convenience of picking the car up at the passenger terminal was perfect. The car was in the terminal lot as we came off the ship, so we didn't have to drag our luggage very far. The Hertz counter is small, but handled our rental very efficiently. Just pay attention to the hours of operation and plan accordingly.

Mediocre|Sept 2023

Found the check in confusing due to the reprasentative talking in circles and lying about my insurance and talking me into buying a second insurance. Also the fact that i brought the car back a week early and have not recieved a refund or and email from the customer service that i sent the info to. Will probably pick another car rental service the next time in hopes they will be easier to deal with.

Hertz didn’t have the car that I booked (a gas powered car) and instead insisted that I have an electric car, which I didn’t have the ability to recharge. I had to pay an extra GBP 168 for them to give me a gas powered car.

The car was comfortable and served our purposes. Pickup and drop off was easy and quick. An available car closer to my destination would have been better as Reading was almost an hour from where i needed to be. Otherwise, we were pleased with Hertz.

Great service, got the car I reserved. It was clean. Note that if you have CDW insurance coverage on your credit card and plan on using that (and not purchasing theirs), you must provide the written proof from your credit card company upon picking up the car. Otherwise, they won't rent their vehicle. They're also off site a few KM away from EDI airport. They have a free shuttle, but you must allow an extra 30 minutes in your plans especially if you return the car and fly out. Knowing these details will make your experience much better.

Poor|Oct 2022

Liked the car but didn’t realize it came with only 100 miles/day. So I had to upgrade which doubled the price. Took over an hour to find the bus and get to their off airport site. Two hour waiting in a queue with just one person checking everyone in. Felt so bad for couple in front of me who were going to miss their cruise do to horrible delay. On return the bus only came once an hour to return to Terminal 5! Never renting from them again!

Dropping off the car after hours no one let us know that we needed to pay an additional fee. Also, we had to drop it off at a nearby gas station, however the attendant there had no idea what we were talking about. After arguing with him for ages, making us late to get to the airport, he finally contacted his manager who explained the car return process to him and we were able to drop off the car.

Poor|July 2024

I was not able to rent a car from this company. They denied me a rental car because I received a new driver's license a few months ago, and they demanded proof that I have been driving more than 2 years, and denied to rent me a car. I have been driving for 35 years, and have rented cars many many times in many different countries, and have never been asked or needed to provide this info anywhere, ever. Furthermore, I have rented cars in Edinburgh before, and haven't been asked this anywhere there either. And there was another customer at the counter at the same time that they were trying to purchase additional insurance on her vehicle, as her policy "only" covered up to $75000 in insurance, and they wanted more...on a car that was worth maybe $20,000.

Rented a car with them. Got about 6 hours before the back left tire was flat. Had the people come to change it and they said that that car should have never been rented and it was a disaster, waiting to happen. When the people came to change it, they tried to get the specific piece for that specific car out of the back and it was not there so they could not change the tire. I ended up having to wait a couple days until another tow truck came and loaded the car onto the back, then had to ride with them two hours to the nearest shop so that I could get a different car and drive two hours back. They refused to just send a new car to me, and I still ended up paying for more than half of my rental even though I only got to use the car two out of eight days.

Not expecting to be charged a "location surcharge" not mentioned in my Kayak booking. The booking was around 88$ (I recall) the location surcharge is 51£ (about 65USD) so the booking for the car is almost double. How can one rely on Kayak when making a booking?

A couple of hours after returning our vehicle to an unmanned drop off location, we received an email claiming there was damage on the vehicle.
