CATANIA AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

A very slow biking process, everything else was just fine.

Extremely cheap booking but they made it up by charging 14x as much to add an additional driver at the counter. The car had several small scuffs and dings on pick-up but they decided it had an additional scratch on a wing mirror on return - it didn't - and are trying to charge me 90 euros for it.

A stress free experience. Helpful and friendly staff.

No problem

The personnel at the site were helpful but the process was extremely lengthy and they didn’t have the type of vehicle I’d reserved. Also, it was hertz not dollar. I was also charged VAT that was unexpected and the rental car was more than QEEQ said it would be.

Very good rental, there was a waiting line for about 30min, lady at counter tried to sell additional insurence, but thats nothing new. Overall very good experience. We got a Lancia Ypsilon, as did all the people in the line. But it was a nice car, new and very drivable, even to the etna.

Very good platform, helpful for rentals, great deals

The staff was very kind and waited for me from the flight delay.

Scam

Very satisfied

The deposit is too high, three times that of other chain companies for the same model. As a car rental company at a tourist city airport, they surprisingly don't support self-service returns. My flight was at 7 AM, so I had to return the car the night before. Overall, I will definitely not use this company again.

Excellent service

We did not yet receive a confirmation of drop-off since we had to drop off the vehicle before business hours by dropping the car key in a lock box. Customer service at pickup was fantastic !

We love QEEQ’s services!

This has been the worst car rental experience I have had in the past ten years abroad! 1. The store was hard to find. The actual brand and logo of the store were completely different from what was shown on the platform! It took me half an hour just to locate it! 2. The staff were extremely inefficient! An Italian customer ahead of me said he had been waiting for an hour and a half and still hadn't been served, while there were only two groups of customers being attended to by the three staff members. The employees were chatting and fooling around while customers were left waiting. I can understand a certain level of laid-back attitude in Italy, but this was my fourth time in Italy, and this was the first time I'd seen such behavior! I also waited about an hour and a half to get my car! 3. The staff had bad attitudes, poor English, and were very rude. Because I refused to buy their insurance, they deliberately gave me a large car instead of the A1-level car I booked, and I believe it was an act of racial discrimination. All the other white customers got smaller cars. They know the roads in Sicily are narrow, making large cars difficult to drive. To make it worse, they didn't accompany me to inspect the car while they did so for other customers. 4. When I saw other white customers, the staff would accompany them to pick up the car and point out any damages. When it was my turn, they just handed me the keys and told me where the parking lot was. Even after me, customers were being accompanied, but for some reason, I was skipped. 5. The absolute worst part! Because I didn't buy their insurance, they charged me a 1200 Euro deposit. I picked up the car on April 11 and returned it on April 17. On April 13, I noticed the transaction was already processed, not just pre-authorized! I contacted the platform's customer service immediately, and they said the deposit would be refunded after the car was returned. When I contacted them again on April 16, the rental company claimed they had already refunded the deposit on April 16, a day before I returned the car, which is impossible! On April 17, when I returned the car, the staff said there were no issues and that the deposit would be refunded in 2-3 days. As of today, April 28, I still haven't received my deposit. Despite multiple contacts with customer service, the rental company now insists it was a pre-authorization, not a charge. Even with my bank statement showing the amount has been debited, they refuse to acknowledge it! This is outrageous and dishonest. If it was a pre-authorization, they should be able to cancel it, but they cannot because the transaction was an actual charge. This has been going on for half a month! Does this scammy rental company intend to steal my 1200 Euros??!! I reserve the right to expose this in the media, file a complaint, and report to the authorities!

Excellent car rental company. I’d recommend it anytime. It’s the first time I used it but it will not be the last

Brilliant! Outstanding customer service. This is the second time I used their services, and it will most certainly not be the last.

This is my second time renting from Italy Car Rent. The process is straightforward and convenient. Although the pre-authorization deposit is relatively high, as long as the car is returned without damage, there are no issues.

The service staff's attitude was average. They tried to upsell full coverage insurance and an additional driver. The credit card pre-authorization was higher than estimated.

Very friendly staff, very good car. As room for improvement, the check-in took a little too long (more than 30min).

Excellent service, they even found the best and newest car for us.

Nos ofrecieron el seguro de más alto precio sólo y cuando dijimos q no, nos ofrecieron otro más barato. No nos han devuelto la fianza de 200€ y me cobraron tras la entrega del vehículo 300€ más, estando el coche en prefectos condiciones

Avoid at all costs! Besides the terrible attitude, I was shocked to see the car's condition when picking it up. The front bumper was already damaged badly, and the tread on the tires was nearly worn out. Giving customers such a car is a recipe for disaster. I reported it to the front desk, and they offered a free upgrade, but the new car was still in poor condition. I immediately contacted the rental car booking company for help, saying I'd take a smaller car as long as it was in good condition and wouldn't affect my trip, but they said there were no other cars available. They suggested I use the no-show protection to cancel, but there has been no resolution since February 17th. Moreover, their deposit is excessively high at €1200, which is unreasonable, especially given the poor service. Lesson learned. Don't fall into this trap, everyone!

The damages that were marked on the car were a lot more than the listed in the document you receive. The amount for the child seats was also higher than what was listed originally.

Great, as always. The only problem we had with the booking was the difference in the price for the child seats.
