Unfortunately we had to return the car a bit later than expected and were charged an extra full day's fee, but since this was a last minute change on our end, I understand. It cost about $72 USD per day, which I thought was a great value. Checking in and out was relatively easy through Arnold Clarke, their contractor. I didn't like that no one welcomed us when we came in, leaving us to stand awkwardly until they decided to pay us attention. Drop off was easy and they shuttled us to the airport. Forgot to take a picture of the car but we did love taking it up to the Highlands.

The staff was super friendly and we even got a small credit for bringing it back with more fuel than when we got it (we got a half tank to start). Overall a great experience and would definitely rent from them again if we visit Edinburgh in the future.

I have a few tips for Americans visiting this Hertz location…read more 1) Give yourself plenty of time to get the car. It took us 75 minutes. 2) If you have never driven in the UK, pay the extra money and get an automatic transmission AND the GPS. Try and get a small or mid-size car as the roads in the UK are narrow. For our car, the GPS was an extra 100 pounds for the 8 day rental and it was worth every penny. Your phone with Google Maps might not update quickly enough to make the many turns needed to get around. And, if you have not previously driven in the UK, watch some YouTube videos on how to survive the roundabouts and narrow roads. 3) Carefully exam your car before leaving the lot for damage. Our car had lots of damage when we picked it up.

I picked up my rental car from the Downtown Edinburgh location on 7/23. I spoke with Giorgio at this location. He gave me multiple pieces of incorrect and confusing information. He told me that my car was not prepaid (it was booked via Chase Travel and I received a confirmation of this booking directly from Hertz and was pre-paid). I told him that I did not want any additional insurance from Hertz. He indicated that the £208 amount was for the car rental. When I returned the car on 7/25, I discovered that the £208 amount was for the insurance, which I did NOT want. Hertz refused to refund the charge even though it was their employees mistake and misrepresentation of the charge that confused me. Horrible company. Horrible service.

We booked a car through Expedia and paid $460.17 in full for a 12-day rental back in October 2025. Our pickup time was scheduled for 9:00 AM on May 13, 2026. Due to a delayed connecting flight, we called Greenmotion ahead of time to let them know we might be late and asked them to hold our reservation. When we finally arrived around 5:00 PM, we were told our reservation had been automatically canceled by the system four hours after the original pickup time. The representative told us he could not honor the reservation because it had been canceled by the computer. We explained that we had already paid $460.17 and asked if the reservation could simply be reopened so those funds could be applied. He told us Greenmotion had not received any money and would not receive payment on a canceled reservation. He also said there was no way to reopen it. He then offered us another car for 900 pounds (about $1,210 USD), saying it was the lowest available price for a 12-day rental. Since we already had dinner reservations in downtown Edinburgh at 7:00 PM and no other options at that point, we felt we had no choice but to accept. After returning home, we contacted Expedia to request a refund for the canceled reservation. Expedia quickly contacted Greenmotion and came back with a completely different story. According to Expedia, Greenmotion had actually reopened our reservation, applied the original $460.17 toward the rental, and treated the additional 900 pounds as an "upgrade" charge -- meaning Expedia could not issue a refund. To make matters worse, Expedia also confirmed that Greenmotion had received the full payment back when we originally booked the reservation in October 2025. We are honestly stunned and at a loss for words.

After calling Sixt, they promised to get back with a solution within 60 min. After 60 minutes, they told us we will get a replacement tire within 90 min. After 90 min, they told us, that they couldn't find a replacement, they will recover us and the car within the next 90 min. After again 90 min they told us they will send us a taxi in 90 min. So in total it took more than 6 hours to wait for a taxi. They did not replace the car for the next day, so we had to cancel our tee-time at a golf course with no refund. In the end they charged the full price (incl insurance) for the second day without a car! Everybody friendly but the whole system is grossly incompetent! I am using Sixt all over Europe and in the US and never had such a bad experience! Since weeks I am trying now to get my money back for the second day. No reaction!

I rented and returned a car without issue only to receive notice a few days later that I'm being accused of what ultimately amounted to 1,400 GBP for damage to the vehicle. "Damage" that I might add would be considered normal wear-and-tear in any other circumstance. The evidence against me is suspect at best and in at least one instance completely fraudulent. I have photos of the damage (nicks, scratches, etc.) being present at the time of rental. A month later and half way around the world I'm still contesting. I suppose I can accept part of the blame for not checking Yelp beforehand. If I had, I probably would gone elsewhere given the number of outright negative reviews. Buyer, or renter, as it were, beware.

I have called to check on the status of my case at least 3 time.

First when we arrived from the US and went to the agency, we found out that our reservation was canceled. Unfortunately our flight had been delayed for 3 hours. We had no way of contacting the agency as we were on a flight. They gave our confirmed rental to someone else. The agency found a van on the site and gave that t us. That is where the problems began. Initially we were advised not to utilize the left side passenger door as it was not operational. We agreed we were on with that although not ideal. We had a 7 day rental. On the 5th day while driving back from St Andrews to Edinburgh, we experienced a flat tire. Thankfully, we were near an exit and we able to pull off the road safely. We called the age and they sent out a recovery agent. This took over 3 hours. When the recovery agent arrived he informed us that this was the 3rd time this month he as our for the same vehicle. He inspected the tire and informed us that this vehicle should never have been rented out. The tire was extremely bald and extremely dangerous to drive on. At that point we decided to return the car. We had to incur the extra expense of getting back to Edinburgh by bus. Fast forward to arriving home and trying to get a refund for the two days of rental we did not use What a nightmare!!! Due to Easirent canceling our reservation, we had to pay again. DOUBLED CHARGED FOR THIS INSAFW VEHICLE. When I called to ask for the refund the manager Scott was extremely rude. I said do you realize how unsafe this vehicle was. If the tire blew out it could have caused a very bad accident injuring or Kiki g the 5 people in the vehicle as well as others around us. He did not care and tried to blame it on our use. I booked through Expedia and I initially they could not get them to change their decision. We had to contact the credit card companies to assist. We are still waiting on their reply. Today I found out they reimbursed us $270 pounds which equates to $296 US dollars. This does not even come close to what we paid for the 7 days nor the inconvenience we had to endure and the expense for the bud tickets. We asked them to reimburse us a total of $619.95 in US dollars to make us whole. They continue to refuse even-though they received that amount twice. I am posting pictures of the bald tire on the vehicle for all to see. This company DOES NOT MAINTAIN THEIR VEHICLES. RENTERS BEWARE. I had to do one star for the review but trust me it should be 0.
