Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 618 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. People frequently complained about unexpected extra costs and significantly higher prices charged directly at the desk for mandatory insurance policies or massive security deposits. Customers also mentioned feeling heavily pressured into buying expensive coverage options during the vehicle pickup process, which often led to lengthy and frustrating disputes. Though some customers faced difficult situations, a minority of people were genuinely satisfied with the affordable rental rates and well-kept, comfortable vehicles. Other travelers noted that the initial collection and airport transfer shuttle process was remarkably smooth, fast, and handled by polite team members.

Booked car rental with U-save via EasyJet… would not recommend. Lots of hidden extra costs, disappointingly old and tired infant child seat. Watch out for small print. Poor experience.

About U-Save Car & Truck Rental

Written by the company

Good-value car rental, without the surprises

U-Save is an international car rental brand offering straightforward, affordable hire from more than 250 locations at airports, city centres and neighbourhoods across North America, Europe Africa and beyond.

Book online at usave.com to compare vehicles, see your price before you pay and collect from the location that suits you. Our fleet ranges from economy cars to SUVs and people carriers for the whole family.

Before you travel

  • Payment card: a credit card in the main driver's name is needed for the security deposit. Deposit amounts and accepted cards vary by location and are shown before you book.
  • Documents: bring your full driving licence and a valid ID. Some countries also need an International Driving Permit.
  • Booked through a travel site? Check your voucher for what's included. Cover bought from a third party works differently from ours, and the counter will still need a deposit.

Here to help

For questions about an upcoming rental, contact the location on your confirmation email. For anything after your rental, including deposits, charges or damage queries, email our customer care team at ics@cs.usave.com.

We read every review on this page and reply to them, and we share your feedback with the location team.

Something not right with your rental?

Our customer care team will look into it personally

If your rental didn't go the way it should have, we want to put it right. Email our customer care team at ics@cs.usave.com with your booking reference, the location you rented from, and a short summary of what happened (plus any photos or receipts). This lets our team review your rental with the location straight away. Deposit, charge and damage queries are all handled by the same team. Thank you for telling us – every review on this page is read, and your feedback goes back to the location team.

Thank you for returning to us. We are glad your rentals have been reliable. We also appreciate you noting the hour’s wait when you arrived before your scheduled collection time; it is useful context for future pickup planning.

The car was good

The car was good, the agent was good, however, its been more than 3 months our deposit money was not returned yet despite several reminders.

This behaviour is not accepted from professional companies. U save should adopt good policies and ensure the deposited amount asap.

Thank you for recognising the car and the agent at Heathrow. We understand how concerning it is that your deposit has not returned after more than three months despite your reminders. We cannot establish its status from the review. Please forward your rental reference and previous correspondence privately to ics@cs.usave.com so central customer services can trace the authorisation and respond.

Car fine, pick up location not great, Bristol airport a disaster

No issues with the car for the few days, vehicle was spot on.the collection is off the airport campus and takes 10 mins to get to, led me to have to drive back into the airport to collect my family, which led to a fine from both the airport and hire company, it was for pulling in safely on the side of the road to pick them up....fined by airport and an admin fee from hire company...so beware and do your homework before going near Bristol airport..

Reply from U-Save Car & Truck Rental

Thank you for noting that the car itself worked well. We understand your concern about the off-airport collection arrangement and the subsequent airport fine and rental administration fee. We cannot determine the basis of either charge from the review. Please send the notices and rental reference privately to ics@cs.usave.com so customer services can check the applicable terms and explain the fee.

+ reception desk in Bergamo
- the car was not in good condition (engine...). Lucky we didn't have any serious trouble, but no car should be leaving the place in shakey conditions.

Thank you for recognising the Bergamo reception team. We take your concern about the car’s condition, particularly the engine, seriously. If you can describe what you experienced and send your rental reference privately to ics@cs.usave.com, customer services can identify the vehicle and have the report reviewed.

Reply from U-Save Car & Truck Rental

We understand you are still waiting for money you expected back after the Amman rental and have not received an update. The review does not make clear whether this relates to an insurance charge or a deposit, so we do not want to guess. Please email your rental reference and the relevant payment document privately to ics@cs.usave.com so customer services can identify the transaction and explain its status.

Good option but not for a family trip

Very friendly and efficient team , vehicles in good condition but don’t go there if you want to have your grown up kids driving along on a family trip. Additional fee for driver under 25 is outrageous

Reply from U-Save Car & Truck Rental

Thank you for recognising the friendly, efficient team and the condition of the vehicles. We understand that the extra charge for a driver under 25 made the rental less suitable for your family trip. If you would like the fee and the terms shown at booking checked, please send your rental reference and confirmation privately to ics@cs.usave.com so customer services can explain how it applied.
