The service we got from Rob on site was amazing. He went above and beyond to help us (as I'd forgotten my physical credit card) - he was alone in the premises and had a long queue of people waiting,... Toon meer

The pickup point was close to Waverley Station. The staff were friendly and attentive. As the administration was being completed we had a good chat and they decided to give me a free upgrade. (It pays to be nice and respectful as a customer)!

Abzocke mit Versicherung
Ich hatte über booking.com einen Wagen von Drivalia gebucht (mit Versicherung). Bei der Abholung sagte man mir, dass meine VISA debit Karte nicht akzeptiert würde und ich daher eine neue Versicherung abschließen müsse (39 €/Tag, also doppelt so víel wie die Wagenmiete). Ich hätte den Wagen sonst nicht bekommen. Von booking bekam ich nur die viel billigere dort abgeschlossene Versicherung zurück.

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,
Drivalia
Surreal service: 3-hour wait to get the car
My friends and I booked a car on Saturday 9th May, at 10.00 am. We got the car at 1.00 pm: 3 hours waiting in the underground car park standing, no signal, pure surreal situation of having around 20 bookings all at the same time, only 1 Drivalia agent (Florence) who dealt as best as she could, without having a single break. The 1 star is only for Florence who's stayed calm, apologised for the inconvenience, and dealt with the whole surreal situation as best as she could.

SCAMMERS
SCAMMERS. The company added £370 to our bill to change a tyre that they claimed we damaged. (we didn't) . They also have a policy of hanging on to your deposit on a credit card which you have to cancel or they will just hang on to it. They are dishonest and a very dodgy company. The car was not particularly clean and not in a good condition, then they aggesively overcharged for a damaged tyre. Avoid this company. We regularly go with Enterprise and have never had this sort of problem.

Drivalia - the only thing excellent was the staff.
The young lady on reception was brilliant dispute lots of difficulties with the system which, because of the location was cliching continuously. She was so patient with all the customers. She even had to shut the office to go to the toilet which was situated in another building. I’m not sure how she continually dealing with these issues - it happened with every customer! Flo is excellent and the only reason the rating is so high. It would be a one star!

WARNING Drivalia Dishonest Practice
WARNING: Avoid Search cheapest / Drivalia Dishonest Practices
I strongly urge anyone considering renting from this branch to look elsewhere. This was, without a doubt, one of the most frustrating and dishonest customer experiences I have encountered.
I booked through a third-party broker (Discovercars) and arrived at the branch well ahead of my scheduled pick-up time. Despite this, staff kept me waiting for over two hours with no explanation or acknowledgement. When they finally attended to me, I was told I had arrived late , an outright false claim, and was informed I would be charged a late fee. This is nothing short of a fabrication designed to extort additional money from customers.
To make matters worse, because the booking was made through a third party, Drivalia's app offers no "Manage My Booking" option, leaving me with absolutely no avenue to raise or dispute this concern directly with them. Customers are effectively left defenceless.
If you value your time, money, and sanity, please book with Enterprise, Alamo, or National instead. They maintain large, reliable fleets and offer a genuinely smooth, transparent rental experience. Do not let this branch take advantage of you the way they did with me.

Feels like a scam
I ordered a small van through a broker (which is a lesson learned) and when I turned up they said they wanted either £2,500 on my credit card they would hold for 30 days or an extra £100 a day for hiring the van. The cost was £180 for 5 days so imagine my shock when they wanted another £100 a day. Then it started to feel like a scam as the girl called her manager a said they could reduce the cost to about £40 a day. Then I realised they had the wrong type of van to what I ordered, so I just refused to proceed. I would avoid at all costs, it feels like a scam
I should add I felt sorry for the member of staff as she was on her own dealing with very angry customers as the man in front of me also found out he was expected to pay another £100 a day.

Avoid at all costs
Booked a car to pick up in good time before an important event I needed to travel to. However, waiting times with only one person working meant that I would be waiting well over an hour to collect the car I had reserved. I spoke to another customer ahead of me in the queue who had waited for an hour and a half already after their booking time. This meant I had to leave my reservation and get a pricey uber. There was no way to cancel the order despite Drivalia not fulfilling their end of their contract. Avoid at all costs!!!

NOT CHEAP STAFF ATTITUDE
Customer service is zero. Rushed signing without checking car as he said I had paid for zero excess. Stated its the white one outside handed over the key.
Car was dirty inside and out. Large hole in drivers side carpet. No water in rear wiper. Hidden fees blasie attitude from staff.
On return was told to leave the key with person outside. No checks made on return. Receive a checked report 2 hours later. Anything could have be damaged between return and report being done.

The booking process was very straightforward.
The booking process was very straightforward. Since I didn’t have a major credit card with me for a deposit as required, I appreciated the option to pay for insurance on the vehicle instead (as an international driver, I was open to that!). The customer service was great. The only challenge I had was finding the office in the car park in Edinburgh.

Attention fraude
Attention fraude ! Malgré une carte de crédit permettant de ne pas payer d'assurance obligatoire, ils m'ont fait payé 280 euros en plus m'indiquant que c'était une caution. Ils m'ont fait cliquer sur une petite tablette et n'ont pas souhaité m'envoyer le contrat indiquant que je le recevrais 24h après par mail. Quelle surprise de voir qu'ils m'avaient mentis et fait signer une assurance obligatoire à près de 45 euros par jour ! Wayne qui était le conseiller présent m'a donc délibérément menti. Aujourd'hui ils m'assurent que je ne serais pas remboursé; C'est une fraude organisée, une plainte va être déposée pour escroquerie, faîtes attention !
