What’s Holiday Autos like?

Despite a 70% customer score and receiving four out of five stars in three separate categories, Holiday Autos sits in sixth place out of the seven brokers we compared.  

One of Holiday Auto’s four star ratings was for its communication. Customers were impressed with the ‘easy-to-understand’ booking details.

The main issue was a lack of clarity in parts of the booking process, including the information it provides on the car hire providers listed, for which it received just three stars. One customer who used Hertz via Holiday Autos said that the clarity of information on pick-up and at the final invoice was ‘very poor’. 

Another customer was left unsure about the final hire costs, saying they ‘had to keep going over the quote to understand what was included in the price at the time of booking and what was to be paid when the car was returned’.

Holiday Autos was also the most expensive broker in our table, with an average price per day of £46. 

Should I book with Holiday Autos?

No. Holiday Autos’ high prices, lack of clarity on final costs and providers, and mediocre customer service mean there are better options – such as Which? Recommend Provider Zest Car Rental.
