quick, easy, stress free. The courier driver one of the most helpful employees I've come across, couldn't do enough for me especially when I realized I'd misplaced my glasses. First class service.

Pick up and subsequent drop off was a breeze. Very friendly staff. The dedicated area for dropping off rental cars was so excellent, and so easy, and more airports should really do the same. Extremely... See more

Instead of the vehicle we wanted

Instead of the vehicle we wanted, we were given a Chinese-made one; it was unstable in the wind, and we were not at all satisfied—it was very disappointing to be given this vehicle instead of the Mazda.

Dear Ali,

Thank you for your feedback, and sorry to hear the vehicle you were given wasn't what you expected.

Your booking was for a "Mazda CX5 Automatic or similar" — this wording means Carwiz guarantee a vehicle in the same category (size, transmission, and specification), but not the exact make or model shown. Substituting a different manufacturer within the same category is standard practice across the car rental industry and is confirmed on your booking voucher.

If you feel the vehicle you received was actually a smaller or lower category than booked, rather than just a different make within the same category, please send us your rental agreement at help@stressfreecarrental.com and we'll be happy to check this against your booking.

We hope the rest of your trip went smoothly, and we'd appreciate it if your rating could reflect your experience of booking through StressFreeCarRental.com.

quick and easy process for returning…

quick and easy process for returning the car. The only downside was that, even though we had full insurance, another man repeatedly asked us whether the car had been clean when we picked it up. The customer service representative who had given us the car handled the situation very well and came to sort it out.

Customer service completely lacking - stay away.

Customer service completely lacking. I was unable to travel with my partner and baby and needed to move the booking two days later. I contacted the rental company who said I need to speak with ‘stress free’ and that they could not modify the booking themselves. Fine, except it was impossible to speak to ‘stress free’ and there were delays of a day in their replying to the online chat because it was ‘a busy period’. No facility to call. I don’t care if it was a ‘busy period’. If you can’t provide the service then you need to shut down. I was completely stuck. Have now been told I’ve been marked as a ‘no show’ with the rental company and thus will not get a refund. I’m getting myself ready for a tiresome back and forth with some poor customer representative whose time would be better spent providing quicker responses to customers in urgent need of help.

EDIT: Quite amused that stress free are able to reply quicker to a negative review than to a request for urgent help about a booking. Quite unsurprisingly they are not going to be able to find my details with just a first name. I have an open customer service discussion in which I am being met with ‘not our fault - sorry’ so please do not read their reply as anything other than an attempt to discredit me or imply I am not telling the truth.

Dear James,

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.

We've checked our system using the details available to us and are unable to locate any booking or customer record that matches this account, so we're not able to verify or comment on the specifics being described.

We take service standards seriously and always aim to respond to customers as quickly as possible, particularly on time-sensitive matters like a booking amendment. If you would like us to look into this properly, including the no-show status you've mentioned, please contact us directly with your booking reference so we can identify the case and investigate.
