Feefo Platinum Trusted Service

Excellent service in all aspects. I am a regular customer and have always found this to be the case. Easy booking with a choice of rental companies offered by Zest. Good to know they are alway there for help if required. Would highly recommend Zest.

The booking process is straightforward and offers a wide choice of rental companies and cars. Insurance options are plainly stated. Communication is efficient and it's good to know that Zest is there to provide support if there is a problem with the hire company.

Wonderful service and a cheaper package than Green offered direct! Phone calls were answered within seconds and dealt with by a UK call centre

Both Zest and Thrifty were absolutely great. Maybe a touch more expensive than other providers but the overall value for money made that worthwhile. Customer care was excellent pre-trip and whilst away. The Peugeot we were given for our small car class was above expectations in terms of specification and cleanliness and presentation of the actual vehicle was top notch. Often worry about car rental but really didn't need to on this occasion. Zest and Thrifty have found themselves a repeat customer for sure.

Brilliant Car Hire experience with Zest. I was really worried about hiring a car, Zest CS were brilliant at answering all my questions. I read bad reviews for the car hire company I would be using and the price seemed too cheap and thought maybe I had missed something. I bought the additional excess protection from Zest. I did not need to worry, the price was correct and everything was fine, including a free upgraded car. I would most definitely recommend both Zest and Centauro, as although the vehicle I had was more damaged on pick up than the paperwork stated, Zest and Centauro were very reassuring that it was not a problem as I had documented everything with photos and videos. There was no issue at all with the car rental, pick up or return. Car was handed back within 5 minutes and all deposits returned immediately. Very happy and will use Zest again

Easy to Book, good price, excellent car supplier experience (Masterking in Faro) during collection and return with none of the fuss or mucking about (and often indifference) that you get with the big name rentals (eg Avis or Europcar with whom my experience with both was awful). Have yet to receive Deposit and Toll refunds, but assume these will happen in the timeframe.

Easy to use website and good value. Not having to take the hire companies insurance is such a great option.

Have booked hire cars twice now through Zest, both times the prices were very competitive and included what would otherwise be extras

Have booked hire cars through Zest, twice now in Italy; once from Pisa Airport, and once from a city centre location in Arezzo. On both occasions, the process of hiring the car went well, and I would certainly use Zest again. It was a particular comfort to know that insurance was provided by Zest, this can be quite costly to obtain direct from the hire car provider.

Mr Chris Hall - Arezzo, Italy

An excellent process throughout. We wanted full insurance, no nonsense and squabbling over extras as we picked up the car. The service we got on both pick up and return was outstanding. We had a lovely puegot 2008 auto with Half a tank of fuel, full explanation of how/where to return the car from some brilliant staff. We would definitely use them again.

Mr Norman Thomas - Malaga Airport, Spain

Excellent service from Zest. We scratched our hire car and had to claim on their excess insurance. The forms were easily sorted online (download all incident report forms from the car hire company). Payment was made within 5 days of the claim being made, You don’t know how good a company is until you have a problem, and Zest were excellent.
