New rental company to me. Blown away by how hassle free and smooth flowing the pick up procedure was. 200 metres outside airport terminal, zero queue and super service. I paid all the extra insurance... See more

Very professional from start to finish
Very professional from start to finish. Great communication and the whole hire process went without any hitches. Would highly recommend.
Everything was good except one thing guidance to pick up keys was badly wrong
Everything was good except one thing which, I think needs sorting straight away. One of the communications I received said we could pick up the keys from the Euro.. desk in arrivals. There's no desk at La Rochelle. The is a small map outside arrivals but we did not find that until we returned. The rental office is quite a walk away and we had to use google maps to find it. This was a considerable worry and inconvenience. Please change the guidance as it is wring.
Great experience with Zest

Good reception at desk on car park 4
Good reception at desk on car park 4. Quick service by very professional staff member. Only minor concern was when driving into the sun early morning the screen was very difficult to see out of.
Be wary a picture can lie
No one at Pestas rental desk for 5-10 minutes. Car not ready still at compound. Waited 25 minutes. Car was a heap with paint peeled off the bonnet. It also did not represent the picture of the 7 seater you showed in paperwork/ email. Eventually convinced them to provide a different car but still not representative of the one pictured in your email. No one checked car condition, suspect only if I had an obvious bump would they have noticed.
Always top class
Very good again
We rented a car from Faro airport, Portugal. Pick up and drop off took very little time, the service was friendly and efficient. Car was exactly as ordered and there were no issues. Same experience as we had a year ago our of Faro airport, would definitely use again.

Decent pricing incorporating full insurance. Therefore no further hassle.
Great experience
Easy to book, great price, straight forward van hire. What's not to like.
Very impressed with this company. Excellent Clarity and Advice
Zest offer very good rates and options with the local car hire companies. They fully explain the whole car rental process including what to expect when you are hiring a vehicle. I should have phoned Zest whilst at the rental desk as they refused to honour the free additional driver and wanted additional payment but I’ll learn from that next time.
Zest is pretty competitive on pricing…reliable and Competitive
Zest is pretty competitive on pricing and very responsive to any glitches during the rental period.
Smooth delivery and hand over was delivered to the hotel
Car was delivered to the hotel. On time, quick fuss free handover. All done in 15 minutes. Great
