Great review for Jay Patel

The interactions with Jay Patel at Drivalia Stansted have been very efficient, with very prompt replies and answers to the information I requested.I am looking forward to the actual pick up and drop off being equally efficient.Thank you to Jay!

Would choose Drivalia again.

I hired a car from Drivalia Edinburgh Airport. Very kind and straightforward staff. Beautiful 2025 car £90 for 8 days. No hassle returning and immediate refund of deposit. My best experience so far of hiring a car. Thanks to you all.

I had a great experience with Drivalia…

I had a great experience with Drivalia Heathrow. The service was incredibly quick and efficient — everything went smoothly from start to finish. Alina and Richard were both very kind, friendly, and professional, making the whole process easy and stress-free. There were no IT issues or delays at all. I really appreciated their warm attitude and helpfulness. Definitely one of the best car rental experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend.

Made a booking for my partner and then she was charged 4-5times more

Made a booking for my partner to make it easier for her to just go there and pick up a car. When she arrived she was told she couldn’t have the car for the price that was reserved even tho it was all booked and had a booking reference. The guy who served her ended up making her pay 4-5 times the original booking. I have since sent half a dozen emails to various emails accounts they have only to get no where with my issue. Only had a response from the long term lease which they gave me the email to send I to which I have but still had no response and waiting. Time of writing this review it’s been a good month. Very poor service and customer care. Will avoid in the future!Maybe I might get a response from this review…

Beware. Unsafe child seats and promised a full refund that never received

Although the prices are low, the cost saving really wasn’t worth the sub-standard service. We waited an hour (longer than our flight from Birmingham to Edinburgh) in a room full of people with not enough seating. By then our toddler was understandably restless, and only after complaining was another member of staff brought out who moved us up the queue. The staff seemed oblivious to the waiting time and there was no sense of urgency. While there are toilets on site, there are no baby-changing facilities, which caused additional issues for us due to the length of wait. When I asked, I was told bluntly “we’re a car hire place, you’re lucky we even have toilets”.When we finally got the car we were very disappointed with the child seats provided. Despite the cars being new with ISOFIX, the seats available were cheap, seat-belt fitted models that didn’t feel secure or properly cleaned/maintained. Staff said they couldn’t assist with fitting them or provide the manufacturers instructions due to liability reasons, and simply advised us to “look on YouTube.” This was made even more difficult because they can’t even tell you the model of seat. After repeated attempts to fit several different seats safely, we gave up. For our child’s safety, we requested a refund and chose to hire from Avis at the airport instead (whose child seats are all ISOFIX).Despite being promised a full refund by the branch manager, Steven Brady, before making the decision to walk away, I have since been told I cannot have one. As the booking was made through EasyJet, it is down to them to process a refund. Easyjet have refused, hiding behind their terms and conditions stating the booking was non-refundable, despite the equipment on offer being unsafe. All I will get is the child seat cost refunded as this was paid direct to Drivalia, although this will take up to a month to receive. So far Drivalia are taking no responsibility for promising me a full refund.Overall I would not recommend this company to families or anyone expecting reliable or trustworthy service.
