Zest Car Rental, formerly Economy Car Hire, is a leading car hire broker, based in the UK. We provide worldwide car hire with excellent customer service.
Zest Car Rental was formerly known as Economy Car Hire
I was nervous about hiring a car in Sicily and found choosing a company very difficult. There was such a wide range in prices and who could I trust. A friend recommended Zest and I wasn't disappointed. Their customer service was excellent and they put my mind at rest when I called for reassurance. The only car rental car company I will ever use now. THANK YOU
I always find the Zest website easy to use when looking to rent a car. There is a good choice available and the additional information is useful to help your decision on what car you need. Once chosen, confirmation of the rental with the relevant company is fairly quick. Zest then provide useful information nearer the time of the car rental to ensure that you have the correct documents etc. Finally, Zest make contact once the car rental period has finished to clarify what should/could happen next. All in all, Zest provide an excellent service.
Zest is a car rental agent that is not always the least expensive but is reliable and transparent. Direct price comparison is not always straightforward, as different companies include different facilities in their prices. For example, Zest's prices always include an additional driver free of charge, where most others charge an additional fee for this and the amount varies depending on the supplier. Conditions such as fuel policy and insurance requirements are transparent when booking trough Zest. Moreover, a booking with Zest can always be cancelled and re-booked if a cheaper alternative is available. Most importantly, there is always someone available on the telephone with whom to discuss any questions or difficulties. In my view it is worth sometimes paying a little extra for the peace of mind afforded by dealing with a reputable company.
Car hire was problem free. Insurance (including top up insurance) was taken from Zest and was a lot cheaper than the local insurance offered. The excess cover amount potentially set against the credit card was a lot less than the people next to me who did everything through the car hire company. This amount was credited back to the credit card within 3 days of returning the car. All together a pain free experience.
Zest (and Masterking) made this experience the best car rental experience I've ever had. It was also a great price!
Easy to book. Competitive prices. Excess insurance is included at no extra cost. Very helpful in retrieving required documentation from the hire company when making a claim.
Excellent car hire platform. Best used so far and excellent customer service if you contact them. Second driver free. Refunded extra charge wrongly charged by hire Co at pick up point. I will def use again and will def recommend
Better prices than direct. Clear process and pickup instructions. No extra charges.
Happy to recommend Zest Car Rental. A good choice of vehicles and prices for all budgets with free cancellation and excess protection included. Additional top up insurance is available at a very competitive price. Very happy customer, thank you.
Excellent service from start to finish. Great prices for rental in Faro too - lovely car and faultless service by Masterkings at Faro Airport. Would strongly recommend Zest to everyone.
Comprehensive and informative web site. Excellent rates. Good service.
Great service, would definitely use again
Fair price well organised good quality car
Easy to use website, competitive prices backed up with UK headquarters and someone at the end of the phone should you need to talk a member of the staff.
Simple to book, exceptional customer service at the collection and drop off in Portugal. Competitive pricing, no hidden costs, plain English, no jargon. Well worth considering for your next rental.
A seamless hire experience when we hired two smaller cars for a weeks family holiday in the Algarve. Pick-up and Drop-off with Masterkings at Faro Airport was quick and efficient and we had no issues with extra charges or unblocking of the e300 credit card deposit. Would definitely use Zest again
First time car hire from Zest, excellent web site with great choice of cars, able to book with deposit, cancellation included. The team at Zest highly professional along with very good support if needed, for myself Zest will be my only choice for car hire for future holidays, highly recommended. Martyn
They did everything right. No hidden fees, upgraded our vehicle, explained vehicle operation, insurance details, etc. 2 seniors from N.America renting in Scotland for the first time. Extra driver free…just everything as promised
Amazing customer service … all comms from the company were clear and any questions were answered promptly. Will definitely use them again.
