Rentalcars is our first choice every time
We have used Rentalcars both in the UK and abroad for years and have always been very happy with their service and the cars provided. Have recommended them to many friends who have been equally delighted. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic service
I missed a flight and the car company gave my car away! When my problems with this booking began, I was very upset and rang your company. The person I spoke to was Magdalena. I will admit that I was in tears when I first spoke to her. I needed this car. I had bookings for myself and my two children throughout Italy all based on travelling by car. She was amazing, supportive, compassionate and constructive in her assistance. I have used your company before for bookings and been satisfied but there has never been a problem before. The true measure of the quality of a business is not how well it functions under normal conditions, but how it works for you when there is a problem. Magdalena's excellent service has earned your company my future loyalty and ongoing custom.
Exceptional customer relations
I have used rentalcars.com several times and was never let down. Recently when visiting Italy I was given a car of a smaller category from thae oneI had booked due to lack of availability. I expressed my disappointment when I was filling in an online questionnaire sent to me following the end of the rental date. Within 24 hours not only rentalcars.com contacted me about the matter but also refunded me the difference.
No hassle, nice and straight forward:-)
Fast and efficient service. Nice clean car. All went very smoothly, with no time delays, which is exactly what you want when on a short break/holiday and time is precious:-)
Good value and excellent service
In the past I have always rented cars straight from the agencies, so this was a first. But I am very pleased and will definitely use rentalcars.com again. The price was much lower than I could find at any of the agencies, which is always nice when you don't want the smallest car in the fleet. And the service at Enterprise was excellent all the way. Best service I think I have ever gotten. Will recommend both rentalcars.com and Enterprise to anyone.

Fast forward to today and we’re making 8 million bookings a year (and counting) in over 60,000 locations across 160 countries.
Our amazing growth relies on our fantastic, diverse team. Based in Manchester, our 1,200 colleagues hail from 65 nations: we’ve succeeded because we cater to everyone, whatever their gender, nationality, language or culture. Check out our Gender Pay Gap report

EU Digital Services Act
In accordance with Rentalcars.com’s obligations under the EU’s Digital Services Act, we estimate that the average monthly recipients* of the Rentalcars.com service in the European Union from 1 February 2023 up to and including 31 July 2023, is well below 45 million.
This is only an estimate and is based on the data available to Rentalcars.com at this time, and the limited guidance in the Digital Services Act (“DSA”). This estimate is required to be published under the DSA and should not be used for any other purpose. The methodologies used to estimate average monthly recipients as defined in the DSA require significant judgement and design inputs, are subject to data and other limitations, and inherently are subject to statistical variances and uncertainties. This estimate may be revised upwards or downwards as Rentalcars.com refines its approach and in response to the publication of methodology by the European Commission. As required by the DSA, we expect to publish a new estimate later in 2023.
Please refer to the Booking Holdings Inc. Investor Relations website for user metrics we consider relevant to Rentalcars.com’s business.
* ‘recipient of service’ is defined under the DSA to mean “any natural or legal person who uses an intermediary service, in particular for the purposes of seeking information and making it accessible”. This requires counting users to whom information was displayed by the Booking.com service, even if that user did not make a transaction.'
