I don't understand English or Italian at all, but with the tour guide's help, I successfully rented a car. I prepaid the full amount on the QEEQ website, and at the store, I only needed to use a credit card to hold a deposit of over 90 Euros. The deposit was released after returning the car. Reminder: make sure to buy insurance on the QEEQ website! Otherwise, the car rental company in Italy will make you buy their full insurance, which costs 45 Euros! QEEQ only costs a few dozen yuan!
When picking up the car, I told her I had purchased QEEQ insurance; she didn't say much. She also showed me which parts of the car had scratches and marked them on the diagram. During the inspection, I found a few small scratches on the door that weren't marked and informed the staff. He said it was fine as long as I took photos. When returning the car, it was very dirty inside and out due to the rain. QEEQ reminded me that cleaning was required, so I was initially worried they might charge me. However, the staff took a quick look and said everything was fine. Not long after, they canceled the €236 deposit on my credit card.
Vehicle itself was clean and counter staff helpful but the car was not full (closer to 90%) and it also had only a 2% charge. As a hybrid, I'd expect better. Due to the small gas capacity, we were suddenly on empty during our initial journey.
Average service, with simple car return procedures. The main inconvenience is that the return time is strictly calculated based on the pickup time, with only a half-hour grace period. Therefore, the earlier you pick up the car, the earlier you have to return it. They should allow more flexibility with the return time.
Despite booking over a week previously so that Avis would have plenty of time to set things up, when we arrived they did not have our car ready (Merc E Class) and did not have anything comparable to offer. After calling their associates, the only available alternatives were a monstrous Merc G Wagon (imagine trying to park that in the land of the Fiat 500) for more money, or a BMW 3 Series Touring. We took the BMW. Then we were informed that the insurance that we'd already paid for via Easyrentcars would not offer adequate cover, and for fully comprehensive cover we had to book with Avis. Given that we'd already had a car damaged in a car park in Italy on a previous trip, we felt that we had no option but to comply with Avis' advice.
