Satisfied!

Overall, it was a smooth experience. They tried to upsell a higher model and insurance, but after learning that I already had full insurance from QEEQ and experience with renting cars abroad, they didn't insist. It's understandable as it's part of their sales process and shouldn't be taken too seriously. We didn't get the Grandland but were given an equivalent MG ZS with over 10,000 kilometers. The 1.5 engine felt a bit underpowered, but it was manageable with the manual transmission and generally sufficient for the speed limits in the UK. Overtaking was a bit challenging, but both cars are probably of similar quality. No extra charges for returning the car so far. To ensure peace of mind, take photos and videos of the car inside and out before picking up and returning it, keep the gas receipts, and you should be fine.

The fuel cost is expensive.

1. Long waiting times, and people cut in line. 2. Signage for car pickup and paperwork locations is not clear. 3. We had already paid for the one-way rental fee on a third-party site, but were informed at the counter that we needed to pay again because the rental company does not recognize third-party payments for one-way rentals; all such fees must be paid in person. 4. The one-way rental issue delayed our car pickup, but the rental company started the rental time from when we arrived at the counter, not when we got the car (almost an hour difference), and there were no warnings about this. After returning the car, we were charged an overtime fee for being late. Overall, a very unpleasant rental experience. Considering using Ctrip for future rentals, as it’s said to be cheaper and more convenient than the current service.

Picked up the car at Edinburgh Waverley Station. Due to it being a central train station, there were many people, and we had to queue. It took over an hour from queuing to getting the car. The pleasant surprise was the vehicle upgrade, and the car came with a navigation system, which made driving to the Highlands smooth and effortless.

The car wasnt ready at the appointed time, and we had to go buy lunch and come back, before it was ready. even then it took over two hours to get organised. we werent the only ones that day everybody was waiting over a few hours for their cars.

Easyrentcars by comparison were a breeze to deal with.
