Expect the same great team and fantastic service, with a little added Zest! When booking a hire car, you will still benefit from unlimited mileage options, collision damage waiver with zero excess liability, handpicked car rental providers, a free additional driver (available at most locations) and unique deals you simply can't get elsewhere.

I wouldn’t give even a star. Lost my whole money for the car service I didn’t even use. One of the worst experiences I have ever had. I booked a car from Hobart city through third party. I was late 3 hours. People might have personal reasons to be late. When I got there, the staff was very frustrated with us. Very rude. I know there was 2 hours waiting time. But the pick up instructions clearly stated “ Vehicles can be collected from the Hobart City office Monday to Friday from 08:00 HRS to 16:30 HRS, and Saturday and Sunday from 08:00 HRS to 14:00 HRS.” Why mention this on pick up instructions? I did not let them know I was coming late because of this. I understood it is okay to collect between these hours. It is understandable that certain charge for late coming or cancellation. But charging whole payment amount. Is this how this company makes money? For the service they didn’t even provide? So I paid $500 for the car service I never got. Neither of the associated companies refunded. Good luck to everyone.

We have used Zest on a number of occasions and cannot rate them highly enough. We recently voted for them in the British Tourist Awards. Their service has always been first class and we feel secure that we will be looked after if there is any glitch in our hiring of a car. We recently returned from Alicante where we had booked a car through Zest with a great price and a good service. We like the fact that it is a company based in this country, who are easily contactable and speak English.

Hired a car via Zest for a trip to Ireland, Car company was Keddy and we picked up at Dublin Airport. Had picked a Hyundai Tucson size and was what we got 👍 The car had a list of cosmetic damage and had covered over 128k KM's but still fulfilled the job of taking 4 adults and 4 cases to Carlow and back. Will definitely use Zest and Keddy again

Zest were brilliant. UK-based office so queries were easy and accurately answered. The deals they provide are good value for money and give the smaller rental companies a chance. They explain the additional insurance available clearly and also have reasonably competitive cover - much better to have it up front than be confronted by the renter pushing it when you’re tired and more easily led when picking up the car.

★★★★★
August 28, 2024

Seamless experience with Zest and clearly they deserve their “Which” recommendation. Very competitive pricing, easy to navigate website, and nice extras negotiated with providers such as free second driver. Reasonable excess insurance and no hard sell from Zest or the rental company (Italy Car Rentals). Will definitely use again.

Excellent from start to finish. Customer service throughout the process was faultless. Might not be the cheapest but worth the extra money for sure. 5 stars from me!

We had a great experience when using Zest for car hire in Portugal from Faro Airport. Their search enabled us to find a good deal that suited us from lots of different providers. We booked about a week before we departed the UK to take the trip. The car was fantastic and the service superb. We couldn't have wished for more. Will definitely use again.

A better rate for the car hire was secured using Zest that going direct with Centauro. The car had a much better specification than anticipated. Pick up and drop off from Murcia airport was seamless. Overall a very easy pleasant experience. I can’t recommend Zest highly enough. Hence 5 stars.

Used Zest to book car hire from Faro airport. They were very responsive when contacted by email, with a booking change, and provided clear instructions.

The collection and drop off from the Masterking kiosk was straightforward and we were happy with the car. Holding deposit refunded within a few days if our return home.

As a member of Which, they recommended ZEST Car Rental. Started to use them in September 2022 for first time via their easy to navigate UK Web site. We wanted an alternative option for Rent-a-car at Faro airport. We chose via ZEST at Faro airport - LC rent a car and have used them 4 times. You go to car park 4 a short walk opposite Faro airport terminal building. There is a mobile unit there where it is shared by a number of different rent a car companies. LC have a space on the right hand side as u walk in. The car hire price is noticeably less than the big brands at the airport. The cars can be 2-4 years old, BUT look and drive like new. Best not to have new or nearly new cars we believe. Service very efficient and no fuss. So far an excellent option for car hire at Faro airport. Recommended. Be aware as to how car hire prices have risen and especially with the big car hire brands.

Highly recommended, we hired a car from Faro Airport by Drive4Fun through them. No hard sell on the insurance, very smooth process and the Drive4Fun guys were incredible. Far better than the terrible service, borderline fraud and hassle in the past when hiring from the big companies like Hertz and GoldCar. Will use again, without doubt.

Waiting 3 hours for a car with Felirent in Bari What a waste of time. Ended up having to spend £134 extra on the car as didnt have a credit card with me and therefore was forced to spend double. It was a one star review but ive added a star due to Zest trying to sort things out. However, I feel they shouldnt even have companies like Felirent on their system.

I wanted to hire a car for our trip to Sicily. Shopping around, I found Zest. It was considerably cheaper than others and allowed me the opportunity of obtaining full no quibble insurance at an extremeley competitive rate. I must admit, I was a little sceptical but went for it - after reading some of the reviews. I have just come back and it was all fine. the Car Rental Company that were providing the car were not upselling because I was fully covered and the whole process was stress free. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Zest again.

Following Which recommendations on best and worst car hire ratings for a recent holiday in Greece, I chose Zest (its recommended broker) and Alamo (its 4th rated overseas provider), having previously used, its No.1 provider for the Canaries, AutoReisen, for many years without knowledge of their recommendation. The outcome was excellent: a good car with hassle-free service and the convenience of airport collection and drop off. Accordingly, Id have no hesitation in using Alamo via Zest again.

★★★★

We saw good reviews on Tripadvisor and on our recent trip to the Algarve, we decided to give them a try. We werent disappointed. They were very friendly and efficient. They explained all the costs and the toll roads clearly. We had no extra hidden costs. The overall price was very reasonable. We will definitely be using them again when we go abroad.

October 31, 2024

It is frustrating to have to write this, all the more so since Zest could have earned a 5 star rating if not for failing to return my deposit. After an easy booking process with Zest/Masterkings in Lisbon, I duly returned the vehicle without issue. Days turned into weeks and my deposit had not been returned. It has now been over a month and a half. While acknowledging the error and claiming to be in discussion with Masterkings about the deposit, Zest refuses to tell me why there has been such a major delay on conducting a simple transaction, let alone any timeline. As such, I recommend avoiding Zest given that they do not live up to their contractual obligations.

UPDATED REVIEW FOR AUGUST 2024 I rented a car through Zest earlier this month for my holiday and, once again, their service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional, making the entire process seamless from start to finish. Booking was easy, and I appreciated having an online account where I could adjust my car preference multiple times before my trip. As an independent car hire broker, Zest partners with local rental companies at your destination and provides extra protection, so I didn t need to buy additional coverage from the local company. Although it was busy when I arrived, my car was ready, with any minor marks clearly noted on the paperwork. Returning the car was just as hassle-free, with no hidden fees. Overall, my experience with Zest was fantastic, and I highly recommend them for reliable, stress-free holiday car rentals! PREVIOUS REVIEW I used Zest during my last summer holiday. Cant fault Zest in any way. Helpful, friendly, kind & professional. I agree with Which - they are the best in car rental. I would use them again on my next holiday.

On return they said we had a scratch to the front spoiler an area we didnt video this scratch was 10 mm and surface but no amount of discussion would persuade them that the scratch was evident in our video they charged us 900 Euros of our card even though we had taken out insurance ZEST are a bunch of SHARKS

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

I rented a car with zest in Greece and it was a very poor experience. They connected me with an EXTREMELY poorly rated local rental agency, which I didn t realize until the day I was supposed to pick up my car, and when I had issues they were completely unhelpful in remedying them. I specifically picked an in town pick up for my car, not the airport location, and when I arrived at the location (after walking to it for about 30 mins) the office was no where to be found. After getting in contact with the agency they informed me (with horrible customer service) that I had to pick it up at the airport location, even tho I had a completely different pick up location on my contract. Zest was deeply unhelpful in remedying it and I had to go through my credit card company to get a refund. Would not recommend. Just find a local, well rated agency.

New ooff airport car hire. Great vehicle. Good customer service tho a few teething issues as new business - were training up staff so booking in took a little longer than usual. No paperwork is issued - all done on system. Take photos of car and mileage before you leave. As no paperwork is issued ensure you have enough charge on your phone if you cannot use in car sat nav as first time use the location can be a bit tricky. They need a large sign on the outside of the property perimeter as the location is more remote than the usual off airport site. Good customer care tho. Didn t try to force buying their extra cover as I always buy through Zest or my own annual.

After bad experiences with Goldcar, we decided to try going through ZEST and CENTAURO!! We couldnt have asked for a easier rental, also honesty when checking our car back, we were out of hours, so had to leave the car. We had no worries, it was checked whilst we were flying back and they honestly checked it back, with no claim of damages, which werent there!! This is the problem we had with Goldcar!! 3 times being accused of damage to the rental car, which wasnt the truth!! Fighting it has been hard, we lost the first 2, but 3rd time lucky, we won the last. So Zest thank you and Centauro thank you for an easy rental, with no worry for future rentals, having to leave it out of hours, we wont worry again about being accused of damage we havent done. Lovely car as well.

April 30, 2024

Very disappointed. I used Zest for the first time in February 2024, attracted in large part by the offer of a free additional driver. Whilst there was no problem with the car and the pick up/return I was charged for the additional driver at the airport rental desk. On return home I contacted Zest in the expectation this would be promptly refunded. Almost two months later the silence continues with Zest advising me my contract is with the rental company and not them. Im sure this is true from a legal viewpoint but from a customer service aspect it stinks. Please do not allow your car rental decision making to be influenced by the free additional driver offer. In my experience, it doesnt exist.

Die beste Autovermittlung. Ich nehme sie immer. Unbedingt die Vollkaskoversicherung über Zest buchen! Vor Ort ist sie unglaublich teuer. An der Algarve nehme ich immer die Masterkings Autovermietung. Sie haben die saubersten und neuesten Autos. Autoabholung ist ist auf dem Parkplatz Flughafen Faro. Ein Container, der groß mit P4 beschriftet ist. Siehe Foto. Gegenüber vom Abflug an der rechten Ecke des Flughafengebäudes. Zur Abgabe die ZWEITE Einfahrt P1 nehmen. Den grünen Knopf drücken. Kein Parkschein kommt raus. Die Schranke geht auf. Bei der Ausfahrt geht die Schranke auch einfach auf. Dann immer am Rand des Parkplatzes bis zum großen Schild P4 fahren. Siehe Foto.

Recently used Zest for car hire at Faro airport, have also used them previously without fault. The day before travelling, I noticed that Id accidentally booked an automatic transmission drive rather than a manual drive. I contacted Zest, who made the necessary changes without charge. We received an email saying that our new hire voucher may be 48 hours, but we needed to have it at the airport with us 12 hours later. I called Zest from Leeds Bradford Airport at 9 am when the phones opened, they sorted things our for us whilst we were in flight. Our car was waiting for us when we arrived, and the new voucher was ready to download, they had also sent on a copy of the voucher for us to the car hire team in Faro. Couldnt be happier, very easy to work with, creating a stress free environment for handling any problems which arise.

Sold an airport car rental for a location 25 minutes away from the airport with a shuttle service that is actually a 3rd party hotel hoppa bus that only leaves EVERY HOUR. Then hide behind small print and additional details to justify what is clearly a sketchy sales practice. Cheap car ended up being not at all cheap when the hire company also refused to accept a debit card for the already outrageous deposit amount, but were happy to accept that self same card for an extra fee of 110% above the car hire fee. Cowboys selling cowboys. Update: Its extra fun to have people lecture me about how I am wrong to be in any way upset and point out how their fine print makes it quite clear that they are cowboys and I should not be upset that if it looks like a shake-down and feels like a shake down then it is perfectly acceptable to be shook down as long as all the fine print is in order.

This is not a serious company. I paid in advance the full value of the rental, summer high season in Italy, to avoid potential issues, to have my car available. It was a 2,500 usd fee. We simply picked the standard hour to have our car available (12pm) and when we arrived there the car had been let go at 1pm, and they are not refunding me. I had to search for and pay double this value for another car, which was almost inpossible. And Zest still says it was my fault because we did not arrive at 12pm and that I should have paid attention to the fine print. Do not be fooled by this company they are not serious and they are not the company renting the vehicles. My vacations were seriously disrupted and I took a loss of 3000 euro because of them.

Weve had good experiences using this search engine for car rentals. The prices were lower than we could find elsewhere, and although they connected us to smaller dealers, you can buy full insurance (for minimal price) through them, which covers everything so we have no problems with dings or scratches on the car upon return. Will be using them again for sure.

Prices from Zest are hard to beat. However, be warned that customer service is poor and the no excess CDW that they claim to provide is a complete scam. If you chose to rent from them, make sure you are insured elsewhere (like your credit card). Rented a car through Zest this summer in Portugal. Great car from the rental agency. Contract clearly stated that there was a 2500EUR excess. Didnt pay much attention to this fact, not necessarily understanding the liability this entailed because after all, Zest claims zero excess on all rentals. Unfortunately had a small run in with a column in a parking garage. Was charged 700 EUR by the rental company. Fair enough, there was damage, and the estimate in my opinion was fair. Contact Zest about their no excess insurance policy. First agent tells me the damage is not covered because there was not another vehicle involved! Call back, thinking the agent had incorrectly understood me. This time it seems the problem is that I hadn t purchased their to up insurance. Note the top up covers stuff that is not typically covered in CDW like windshields, tires, underbody etc. Why would I need top up to be covered for damage to a door and fender? Finally, as it turns out, the only CDW offered was the one in the rental contract with a 2500 EUR. HOW IS THIS ZERO EXCESS?

*** Here is an update. Centauro have finally refunded me 450 Euros but it took over 4 weeks. I have also had a positive communication with Zest explaining what they try and do and they have offered me a good will gesture which is appreciated. However, I would still suggest avoiding Centauro unless you are prepared to take the expensive additional insurance that they offer locally. Otherwise, you are open to the sort of practice that I experienced.*** AVOID Centauro Firstly, let me say that we (and our friends and family) have used Zest several times in the past with companies like Enterprise, Record and Top Gear Mobility and have had no problems at all. They offer competitive pricing and a good choice of cars. However, I made the big mistake of using the Zest/Centauro option at Alicante. Firstly, Centauro try the insurance hard sell tactic and it took over 10 minutes to convince the sales assistant that I did not want it. Secondly, on return I was charged 450 Euros to my credit card by an assistant (who admitted she was brand new) for damage to the passenger door - but there was no damage. All of the above was witnessed by an ex Policeman friend who could not believe it. So on return home I immediately contacted Zest Customer Relations for assistance. This all happened 3 weeks ago and all that I have been told to do is to make a claim for excess re-imbursement via Orchard Admin. Zest claim Excess Protection - we always remove your excess, so youre not out of pocket if the worst happens. So beware the worst did not happen to me and I am out of pocket. I still dont know if I will get the 450 Euros back. The bottom line is please AVOID the Zest/Centauro option.

Zest provided me with exemplary service. At the time of booking they provided detailed information on finding the pick up point at the airport along with useful information such as not needing the DVLA driver record and explanations of insurance options and included a second driver. I chose to use Visacar at Faro and they too were superb. A nearly new well appointed car that wasn t bottom of the range and their staff were welcoming and friendly, removing the parcel shelf to help with loading the luggage. At the end of the hire Zest provided information about how any pre-authorisation process might work and a link to contact them if any problems arose. I highly recommend them and will be my go to car hire company in the future.

First time using Zest to rent a car in Malaga - recommended by Which? Car provided by Centauro which is off airport via shuttle bus. Waited around 20 minutes for the shuttle bus and took about the same to do the paperwork to collect the car, so around an hour from airport to driving away. Drop-off was quicker - around 15 minutes from arriving at the yard to being dropped off at the airport. No hard sell on upgrades / insurances. Nearly new car. Very happy.

It was the first time I had opted for an off site car rental company and the whole experience was really smooth: Transfer mini bus was waiting when we reached the bust stop, paperwork was done quickly, no hard sell of extra insurance when we had an excess insurance already (but note that, as normal, there will be a deposit taken on your credit card for the excess), car was clean and comfortable, return process was quick and pleasant, return mini bus transfer took only 5 minutes.
