EasyCar Club Day Insurance

Have you tried to rent a car from them?


I tried about 5 times for the same date and was rejected each time.
That might have been because I was new and had no reviews (you don't get to know).
I did then start messaging as it would be good to know the reason, one lady that came back to me said the car wasn't available but she was switching to her son's car and would get back to me once she'd changed the details with easy car.
Ok I said.
Oh dear she said I've just been to see the car and there is some damage so won't be available.
Ok I said, but you do know I want it in 6 weeks time ???
Ah, sorry won't have the car then.


So the issues I've found are


. you might not be able to get started as a newbie without reviews
. as standard you won't know a reason for the rejection
. you are vulnerable to something happening to the individual car e.g. damage the night before your hire or a personal emergency with the person handing over the keys
. some sellers are not very organised with their admin (see conversation above)


I hired a car from europe car in the end. Cost me about £54 for the day (with excess insurance and breakdown), but I was confident that if an individual car had a problem that they would have other cars available and I was much less likely to be let down by any personal emergency or individual car issue. Their office (at london victoria) was also likely to be operating whether or not someone's kid fell over at school.


I have nothing against dealing with amateurs but just be aware you are dealing with amateurs and not proffessionals and i'm referring to both the cars AND the admin e.g. booking dates, handing over of keys.
