CarRentals Review

Main Website : www.carrrentals.co.uk
Year Started : 2008
Parent Company : ASAP Ventures Ltd.
Other Websites : www.carrentals.com, www.car-hire-insurance.co.uk

Overall Ranking = 8.5 / 10

I found many reviews about this company out in the internet land. It seems that there are loads of people who want to give their opinion on a CarRentals.co.uk. Due to all of the positive responses, it is no wonder why this is one of the best companies out there to find great deal on car hire?they have a lot of customers because of their unique system and low prices.

Pros ? Almost everything I read about ?CarRentals? said something about how easy the website is to use and how low the prices are. They are oftentimes have the lowest price available on the internet and that really helps them get a lot of customers. They have a different system than most other internet car hire companies because they compare a lot of different websites to find the lowest price. They are basically the middle man for the middle men. What I mean by that is they search all of the car hire brokerage companies to get you the lowest prices. Many ?CarRentals? reviews also said that it was really easy to use their website because the information is very straight forward. You should definitely check them out if you need to book a car hire.

Cons ? Basically the only bad ?CarRentals? review I could find was in regards to their customer service. One person said, ?CarRentals was basically nonresponsive when it came to a post-rental problem.? Here is the reason: this company only links the customer with another company. They do not handle the car hire directly. They simply point people to a company with the lowest rates. That means people that complain about the poor customer service are not even complaining the the right place. It is basically like asking a friend for a restaurant recommendation then going to the eatery and getting some cold food and rather than complaining to the restaurant, they go back to the friend and ask them to fix the problem. You will not have any problems with CarRentals.co.uk if you only use the website for its purpose.

Travel Supermarket Review

Main Website : www.travelsupermarket.com
Year Started : 2008
Parent Company : Moneysupermarket Financial Group
Other Websites : www.moneysupermarket.com

Overall Ranking = 7 / 10

Generally, ?TravelSupermarket? received fairly good reviews. The only real complaint people had is that they prices were not as low as they hoped. It seems like some other websites can offer better deals. You can always tell how good or bad a company is by the number of reviews out there. Not many people leave positive feedback, because they are already satisfied. It is only the people that are upset that will post a bad review. Needless to say, it was hard to find a TravelSupermarkt.co.uk review, which means they are probably going a good job.

Pros ? The website is very easy to use. That is what almost all of the people that posted a ?Travelsupermarket? review had to say. So, I checked it for myself and I have to agree. They put the names of the company very big so you will easily see where the car is coming from and the prices were generally good. It is similar to CarRentals.co.uk too because it redirects you to the website you choose.

Cons ? This website is more for cheap airline tickets than car hire. It seems like they put more work into the airfare section than the car hire. Sometimes the prices are not consistent when you are redirected to the new site. This is one of the biggest problems with a website like this. I can appreciate that it is difficult to integrate all of the work that is need to keep prices consistent, but if they have too much to handle, maybe they should scale back a little. Also, many people were not happy with the value of the car hire related to the amount of money they had to spend.

easyCar Review

Main Website : www.easycar.com
Year Started : 2000
Parent Company : easyGroup
Other Websites : www.easy.com (There are many other ?easyGroup? websites at this page)

Overall Ranking 6.5 / 10

Many of the ?easyCar? reviews I read are pretty negative. However, most of the people are upset with the independent car hire companies and not easyCar.com. This is an interesting conundrum?You have to be careful what company you are renting the car from. It is unfair that the easyCar reviews are so bad, even though it is not entirely their fault.

Pros ? One of the most commonly stated positives for ?easyCar? is that they have low prices. Interestingly, you can find ?easyCar? on both of the previously reviewed websites. That means you can use carrentals.co.uk or travelsupermarket.co.uk and you will end up going through easyCar.com.

Cons ? It seems like ?easyCar? is not very careful with the partners they select. There also have some very confusing fuel policies. Here is what one of the easyCar.com users had to say, ?Awful experience with Easy Car Rental. They transferred us to Targarent in Pisa, waited ages at airport for awful service, then got a beat up well used Alfa. Even worst when we returned the car. Charged us nearly ?100 for 25ltrs of fuel.? But, as you can see, many of the negative ?easyCar? reviews were because the independent car hire company supplied a raw deal. This person was more upset with ?Targarent? than ?easyCar.?

Conclusion

We need to look at these reviews objectively. Let?s say you go to CarRentals.co.uk and you find the best deal comes from ?easyCar.? So, you go to the ?easyCar? website and the ends up being supplied by ?Avis.? Then you have a bad experience with the car. Who is to blame? I would say it is more the fault of ?Avis? than ?easyRent? or ?CarRentals.? Therefore, it is a good idea to find out the source of the car hire and then read a review about that individual company before deciding if that is the best place to get the car from.
