Terrible customer service
Pros: No rep came to meet us at drop
Off... late on a bank holiday the rep was at the office and finally came to look at vehicle and now is claiming that a dirt spot on the seat is an claim against me. It is an egregious effort by a clearly indertrained and overzealous rep. I cannot believe hertz would cause this kind of stress over a dirty spot on the seat... vaccume it up or wipe it off!! Don’t rent from hertz Bristol.
Cons: Nothing. While experience ruined by incompetent and overzealous staff. Before renting they showed “damage” evidently billed to another customer which was a black mark that wiped off w a little effort... seems like a bit of dubious effort to make spurious claims to increase revenues at this location. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE CONMEN.
Cons: Bathroom was gross.
Just returned it here...
Pros: Just returned it here...

Insurance not included!
Cons: Whenever I have pre booked previously, basic insurance has always been included. I was told this had recently changed and was no longer the case. Disappointed that my pre booked price was not what I paid in the end! Had to leave earlier than anticipated to avoid paying two days insurance, instead of one. You need to spell this out when people are booking!
Never rented the car
Cons: The search engine CarTrawler allowed me to book a car that was not available for the times I needed at a location that was not open when needed. I contacted customer service and they booked me a second car - that was also not available when needed.
Ended up paying double to book directly with Budget.
Identification requirements were unreasonable.

Unable to rent car
Pros: They said they would cancel with no fees.
Cons: I was not told I needed a return airline ticket in order to rent a car.
Easirent Is Bad
Cons: Rude aggressive staff, looking hungrily for extra charges. Over an hour to get a car.
Car was OK, 1 hour wait + tank half full at pickup
Cons: We had to wait for a long time to have the gentleman who man's the rental station at the hotel near Bristol airport to come in, and left almost an HOUR after we got to the hotel!
Car tank was only HALF full. I was charged an extra 30 POUNDS for gas that was not disclosed to me at Kayak rental PLUS another amount for liability insurance that the gentleman at counter said was required by law. I had purchased Kayak insurance already and was surprised that I had to pay this extra.
And now there a further $68 charge on my credit card account from Easirent for what, I have no idea!!!

Drivers who are not used to driving on the left or with a stick shifts may want to rent a slightly more expensive automatic car will help, as operating the stick shift with the left hand may add yet another layer of confusion. As Bristol is a bigger city and parking can be scarce, a compact car is a good option for driving inside the center, as it can squeeze into smaller parking spots.
In Bristol there are many 20-mph zones and the limit must be adhered to; in other residential areas, 30 mph is permitted. On two-lane country roads and on highways (or motorways, as they are known as in the UK), drivers can speed up to 70 mph.
Refilling a tank will cost about £1.25 per liter, which is about $6.40 per gallon. Cheaper gas stations are usually the ones from Tesco or Sainsbury’s. Also note that at most stations in the UK, paying before refilling the tank is not required, and payment is taken inside the gas station afterwards or at the machines.
Pay attention to the signs and line colors when parking on the street in Bristol. In the center, there are usually restrictions for all street parking, with double yellow lines signifying that parking is not permitted, single yellow lines indicating it is allowed only on certain days, or it is metered parking. Alternatively, there are parking lots like the Portwall Lane long stay car park or Wapping Wharf.
