A éviter
Je souhaite partager mon expérience très décevante avec ce loueur de voiture.
Tout d’abord, malgré le fait que nous avions déjà souscrit une assurance via EasyJet, nous avons été contraints, à en reprendre une sur place (car notre carte était de débit et non de crédit). Cette pratique est clairement abusive
Ensuite, l’agence est située très loin de l’aéroport, ce qui complique inutilement la prise en charge du véhicule.
Concernant la voiture, elle nous a été remise dans un état très médiocre, avec de nombreux impacts et bosses déjà présents. Cela aurait dû nous alerter davantage, car au moment de la restitution, on nous a facturé un pneu prétendument endommagé, alors que nous n’avions absolument rien abîmé.
En résumé, entre les frais supplémentaires injustifiés, l’état du véhicule et le manque de transparence, cette expérience a été très négative. Je déconseille vivement ce loueur, au final ceux en sortie d'aéroport reviennent à un prix plus avantageux avec moins de stress

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that there was some confusion regarding our payment requirements at the time of collection.
To ensure a smooth rental process, we provide information regarding our payment and deposit policies at the time of booking and on the confirmation voucher. For clarity, our standard requirements are as follows:
• Security Deposits: We require a pre-authorisation deposit on a credit card in the name of the main driver (starting from £1500).
• Debit Card Use: We do accept debit cards; however, this requires the purchase of an excess waiver package to reduce the excess to zero. UK residents using a debit card must also pass a credit check or provide proof of employment.
• Payment Security: All deposits must be made with a physical card with at least 2 months' validity. We cannot accept virtual cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or cards without visible numbers.
• Exclusions: We do not accept cash or prepaid cards.
If you require any further information regarding your booking or this process, please contact us through the Manage My Booking portal on the Drivalia.co.uk website.
With best wishes, The Drivalia Team

Cheap and very Nasty
My flight was delayed by 1hr and they said that I lost my prepaid rental (18 days), because I was over an hour late to pick it up.
EDIT: Despite the reply below, I did notify the branch as soon as I realised my flight was delayed and they said I would lose the booking (no 2 hour grace period as they say) and I had to make a brand new booking and pay 100% again with no refund from the first booking.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We sincerely apologise that our service did not meet your expectations on this occasion; we truly understand how frustrating travel delays can be.
To ensure we can manage vehicle availability for all our customers, we adhere to the following policy:
• Vehicle Hold: We can only hold a specific booked vehicle for a maximum of 1 hour past the booked collection time. After this point, clients may be offered an alternative vehicle category (subject to availability), and charges may apply.
• Grace Period: We hold bookings for a maximum of 2 hours during branch opening hours. If you are going to be late, we ask that you notify the branch of your estimated arrival time.
• Failure to Collect: Customers who fail to arrive on the day of collection are marked as a ‘No Show’ and charged up to 3 days rental. Please note that prepaid bookings are non-refundable.
If you require any further information regarding your booking or this process, please contact us through the Manage My Booking portal on the Drivalia.co.uk website.

The worst car rental experience
The price seems to be the lowest, but in the end it’s twice as much as the big chains.
They force you to take out insurance that doesn’t cover anything (even though you already have insurance) under the pretext that you have a debit card, and they normally only accept credit cards. If you refuse, the conversation turns aggressive and they threaten not to give you a car.
In addition to the price you pay at booking:
-£35/day for mandatory “bullshit” insurance
-£66 in administrative fees
-£0.25 per extra mile
-£130 for a damaged tire, even though I’m certain I didn’t hit a curb
In the end, the price is outrageous, the staff is unpleasant and almost aggressive, and the agency is far from the airport
In short, stay away from Drivalia—it’s a scam!!!

Not Taken Seriously by Branch Manager and Referred Back via Portal
I am currently being passed between Drivalia and Booking.com, with each party blaming the other for what happened at the rental desk.
At Edinburgh Airport, Drivalia staff informed me that my Booking.com Full Protection insurance was not valid and persuaded me to purchase additional insurance for £140. I have since confirmed directly with Booking.com that my original cover was valid and that I was misinformed at the desk.
This has now turned into a situation where neither company is taking responsibility. Booking.com has confirmed the cover was valid, while Drivalia has failed to provide a proper response despite promising contact from the branch manager.
As a customer, I should not be caught in the middle of two companies shifting blame. The information I was given at the point of sale was incorrect, and I made a financial decision based on that misinformation.
I am not simply looking for a refund—I am asking for accountability. At minimum, I expect a clear explanation, acknowledgment of the error, and a formal apology.
Until this is properly addressed, I would strongly advise others to be cautious and independently verify any claims made at the rental desk before agreeing to additional charges.
I used their portal several times and the manager brushed it under the carpet.

Non dependable shuttle service
The car is fine . The staff are helpful . The problem is that the supposed every 20 minute shuttle is closer to an hour . I sat waiting for a bus to the airport from the collection point which is off the airport for ages. The staff kept ringing and ringing and ringing the shuttle driver
