Be careful! The rental is cheap but they're after your excess!
First up, the price is unbeatable. I rented a car in Montenegro from a Friday to a Monday for £16. Collection was from ostensibly a mechanic's workshop, wrecks everywhere. The car itself was fine, but 58,000 km on the clock and it was quite scuffed up. I spent a few moments walking around the car filming every single scuff and bump, cracked faring etc. The ever dodgy "Like for like" fuel policy means you'll always return with more fuel than you left with, and on collection my car was one notch above empty. There is a hefty deposit of about £1300, or you can pay about £40 per day to waive the excess. Upon return, there seemed to be chaos, and the staff member pointed out a dent not on the paperwork, and seemed keen for me to sign on a device. I'm not sure how this situation would have progressed if I hadn't shown him the video I'd shot on collection of the dent clearly visible. He let that go pretty quickly, but took a long time to find the card machine to refund my deposit. The amount of historic damage on the car would suggest that they happily charge for damage without actually fixing it. Lastly, despite booking with USave, the rental agreement came through from GreenMotion, who are an excluded company on my third-party excess insurance, so that could have been a problem. TLDR: Cheap, basically GreenMotion, the cars can be shabby, a large deposit, cover yourself with comprehensive video evidence of even the slightest damage before you leave the lot.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the concerns you had with the vehicle condition, the deposit requirements, and the return process. We understand how frustrating it is when a rental feels unclear or when damage checks are not handled as smoothly as they should be.
Customers should always receive a clean, well‑prepared vehicle, and any existing damage must be properly documented before departure. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the fuel policy and the importance of transparent communication at pickup and return.
We kindly ask that you contact our International Head Office through the form at www.usave.com/contact. Once we receive your information, our team will be able to review your case and assist you directly.

Although the office and garage are a few km's away from the airport we found the driver waiting to pick us up near arrivals and drive us there. It was actually easier than picking the car up from the slightly confusing airport car park.
The staff were friendly and spoke English.
Highly recommended.

Warning
Warning: beware of scammers at Tetouan Airport. The company is called U-save/greenmotion car-rent
They try to force you, upon arrival, to take out an insurance policy so they can earn an extra 150 euros. If you already have insurance, such as full coverage like I did, they still try to convince you with nonsense stories. Do not fall for it.
Do not let yourself get scammed. Report it immediately to the police and to the agency you booked through, and do not allow them to take advantage of you.
If you refuse, they will create an “error” when you try to pay the deposit, in order to push you into paying with your debit card and charging you a double deposit. Do not fall for that either. If that does not work, the final tactic is to refuse you by claiming that the name on your credit card is not written correctly in full.
What a shame that this criminal company is damaging Morocco’s reputation. So many tourists ended up paying the 150 euros on top of their rental costs and insurance.
I am deeply ashamed of these thieves.

Hi Rachid,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear how distressing your arrival at Tetouan Airport felt, especially regarding the insurance options and the difficulties you described during the deposit process.
To clarify, local teams must follow the rental Terms & Conditions, including deposit requirements and accepted payment methods. However, customers should always feel that these policies are explained clearly and professionally. We regret that this was not your impression and understand how frustrating the situation must have been.
Your feedback has been shared with the management team in Morocco so they can review the interaction and ensure that procedures are communicated transparently and respectfully.
If you would like us to look into your rental in more detail or provide documentation for your booking agency, please contact us through the form at www.usave.com/contact so we can assist you directly.

Complete waste of time and money
Complete waste of time and money – stay away
This was, without exaggeration, the worst experience I have ever had with a car rental company.
First of all, their location is far from the airport, which is highly inconvenient and poorly communicated. Then, despite booking an SUV, I was offered a completely different car — a Fiat Panda — at the exact same price. This alone is unacceptable.
What made the situation even worse was the condition of the vehicle. The car was filthy, with wet and dirty seats, as if it had been left in the rain. It was clearly not fit for use.
When I refused to accept such a car, the staff showed zero interest in resolving the issue. No alternative, no immediate solution — just a blunt suggestion to call a taxi and go back to the airport, which is about 15 minutes away.
This level of service is beyond unprofessional and shows a complete lack of respect for customers.
I will never use this company again, and I will be reporting this experience further. I strongly advise anyone to stay away unless you want to risk starting your trip in the worst possible way.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

This is understandably frustrating and not the level of service we aim to provide.
Customers should always receive the vehicle category they booked or an appropriate equivalent, and the car must be clean, prepared, and ready for use. We regret that this was not your experience and that no suitable alternative was offered on the spot.

I never plan on renting from U-Save…
I never plan on renting from U-Save again . 1) if you book through travel sites like Expedia there is no adequate understanding to their policies which feel more like a nickel and dime organization. If you pay for a rental in advance and there are no cars when you arrive goodluck with getting a refund it is all on you. 2) in the case of the Houston rental location it is said to be “At” the airport. A 30+minute shuttle ride after waiting for a shuttle for 40 minutes is not what I would call at the airport. 3) you must validate your personal insurance ahead of time. Get ready for a frustrating experience if you do not have access to your personal insurance web portal and password. If you do not they can validate your insurance with a copy of your insurance card for a fee or you can buy their insurance for even more of a fee but you will at least spend less time. 4) you have to buy their unlimited toll package for a fee or if you accidentally find yourself on a toll road it will cost you $28 per toll regardless of the cost of the toll and regardless of you paying the toll 5) don’t consider reservations of a car or prepaying for a car to mean anything. They will rent your car to whomever shows is before you and then just say sorry. It doesn’t matter if you waste part of your 2 day trip to figure it out. Ultimately, they found me a car but I watched them tell a person to get back on the shuttle because I received the last car. He paid ahead of time from Priceline but they were of little help. Supposedly they save you money but saving time…not exactly.

Easy to collect and easy to return the beautiful car.
The staff was very helpful and the care was beautiful, clean. And at the end of the hire it was very easy to check-out. The distance from the airport was easy to find and walk.
We were very satisfied with this car-rent opportunity.

AVOID LIKE PLAGUE
I had a genuinely awful experience with U-Save in the UK.
I was quoted £200 for a 10-day rental and full insurance , which seemed reasonable. But at collection, I was hit with a £3000 deposit. The only way to reduce that was to take their insurance at around £70 per day, which is more than the cost of the car itself. They said the one i got during booking is third party and they do not accept.
They also charge extra just to get unlimited mileage, which feels completely unreasonable. It’s another add-on that isn’t clearly highlighted upfront, and it quickly turns what looks like a cheap deal into something far more expensive.
What’s most frustrating is how all of this is presented. The key details are buried in the terms and conditions or hidden behind a small link that’s easy to miss when booking. It’s not clear, not upfront, and not intuitive.
This feels like a setup to push customers into buying their insurance at the desk. That’s not transparent or honest pricing.
Practices like this need proper scrutiny. A corporate watchdog should be looking into this as a matter of urgency.
And it reflects badly on Booking.com for hosting listings like this.
AVOID.

Hi Amy,
Thank you for taking the time to explain what happened. We understand how upsetting it is to arrive expecting a straightforward rental, only to be faced with higher costs and conditions that feel unexpected.
To clarify, the £3,000 deposit and the requirement for a credit card with available credit up to the excess are part of the standard U‑Save UK rental terms. These conditions are published in the UK Terms & Conditions, which state that the credit card must have enough available credit to cover the excess and must not expire within a set period after the rental return date.
Regarding insurance, third‑party insurance purchased through comparison sites or booking platforms is not accepted as a substitute for the rental desk’s own coverage, which is why the team offered the on‑site insurance as an alternative to the high deposit. This is a common industry practice, but we understand how it can feel like an upsell when the information isn’t clearly highlighted during booking.
Mileage options also vary by location, and while unlimited mileage is available, it may come with an additional fee depending on the vehicle category and booking source. We appreciate that this was not as clear as it should have been.
We completely understand your frustration about how these details were presented. When booking through third‑party platforms, key conditions can sometimes appear only in expandable sections or links, which makes them easy to miss, and we agree this can lead to unpleasant surprises at the counter. Unfortunately, we are not able to influence how details are displayed on third-party websites.
Your feedback has been shared with the UK management team so they can review how these requirements are communicated on our side. Transparency is essential, and we regret that this was not your experience.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry your rental did not meet expectations.
Kind regards,
U‑Save International

Hi Zsuzsa,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulty you’ve had trying to resolve your refund request — especially after being advised to contact us directly.
To clarify, when a reservation is made through a third‑party platform, the payment and refund process must be handled by that company, as they are the merchant of record. This means that although we can confirm whether a service was used or not, we cannot issue refunds for bookings that were paid to another provider. We understand how frustrating this feels, particularly when you were expecting support after reaching out.
We also regret that you did not receive a reply when you asked us to contact the third party on your behalf. Your comments have been shared with the local team so they can review the communication and ensure customers receive clearer guidance and timely responses.
To clarify, regrettably, we are not able to contact third-party companies and request a refund on your behalf.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, especially regarding the cleaning fee and the wait at the rental location.
To clarify, a cleaning charge is only applied when the vehicle is returned in a condition that requires additional cleaning beyond the standard preparation. However, we understand that you feel the car was not dirty, and we appreciate how frustrating it is to receive a fee you weren’t expecting. Your comments have been shared with the local team so they can review the case and ensure the charge was applied correctly and fairly.
We also understand your concern about the distance from the airport and the staffing levels. Some of our locations operate with shuttle services rather than being inside the terminal, and at peak times this can lead to longer waits than usual. Your feedback is important and will help us improve both service frequency and customer flow.
We regret that your experience fell short and appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Your comments help us identify where improvements are needed.
Kind regards,

you ask me to be honest, but your company is the most unfair that i have experience in 40 years.i rented a car frome manchester airport. i was just handed over the key,and had to find myself car in the garage.Because of hurry did not check the car on demage. on my way back one of the employee showed me 3 smallest scratches on the rims, not even 1 centimeter. first of all i am 100 % sure its not caused by me, secondly they charge me 747 pounds. they offer the car very cheap, when you bring the car back they charge 5 times extra. i will never recomand somebody to rent by U-save and neither will i do again. By U-save is renting cheap is renting expensive.

Hi Sajid,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear how disappointed you felt after your rental at Manchester Airport. We understand how upsetting it is to be charged for damage you believe you did not cause, especially when the marks were small and you were in a hurry at pickup.
For clarity, all vehicles must be inspected at the start of the rental, and customers are encouraged to check the car and report any concerns before leaving the location. This step is important because it ensures that any pre‑existing damage is recorded and you are fully protected. We appreciate that you were handed the keys quickly, but customers are always welcome to request assistance or ask a member of staff to walk around the vehicle with them.
Regarding the charges: any damage identified on return must be supported by documentation, including photos and a formal assessment. We understand that the amount you were charged felt disproportionate, and your comments have been shared with the local management team so they can review the case and ensure the process was handled correctly and fairly.
We never want customers to feel misled or treated unfairly, and we regret that this was your impression. If you would like us to look into your rental in more detail, please contact us directly through our form at www.usave.com/contact so our customer service team can assist you further.

Double check all requirements!
Booked a car for a holiday in Italy, but after reading all the negative reviews I emailed them to make sure which documents they need for the rental.
Turned out they don’t accept credit card with initials + full surname, only with full names. Well, in NL that’s not possible and therefore I had to cancel my booking because they would not accept my credit card, although my initials correspondent clearly to the names in my passport and driving license. Glad I double checked!

Hi Nicole,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that you had to cancel your booking, especially after taking the time to double‑check the requirements before your trip. We understand how frustrating it must be to discover that your credit card format isn’t accepted, particularly when it matches your passport and driving licence details.
To clarify, our Terms & Conditions require a credit card showing the full first name and surname of the main driver. This requirement is part of our standard rental policy and is also provided to Booking.com. However, we do not have control over how Booking.com chooses to display or highlight this information on their platform, and this can sometimes lead to confusion for customers in countries where card formats differ.
We appreciate you reaching out in advance. It’s exactly the kind of situation where checking beforehand avoids a much bigger inconvenience at the counter. Your feedback is valuable, and we will continue working with our partners to ensure clearer communication for all customers.
