Booked a Fiat 500 or similar. We got a Panda which was ready for the knackers yard. The accompanying document was highlighted with numerous bumps and scratches with a broken wheel trim. A yellow warning light came on soon after driving away and each time I turned right, the front left wheel screeched. It was a little unnerving when going up hairpin bends. At night the dipped lights were dim. The mileage was over 102,000 km when collected. When dropped off Pablo the Panting Panda, the rep didn’t really care after I told him about the faults. Cheap yes... Cheerful no...

Great service. Even reduced the price. Good comms. Just need to make sure I pick another hire car company.

Yes, car exceeded my expectations as we got a brand new Smart for 2. If we had had any luggage this car would not have been good, but given we travelled light it was great.

You really need to make it clearer where the location is. I went to the main rental area which was wrong. I also found it very difficult to find the location upon returning. Finally, the car took CNG, and it was difficult to find a service station providing this. All of the above points could be easily provided on one piece of paper when collecting the car. Otherwise a good car, and clean. Nice customer service too.

The facilities near Milan Central Station are inside a private parking lot, with no exterior sign. Hard to find. The clerk in Milan was helpful and gave us all the information we asked for. But once he brought the car, he left immediately, without checking in our presence the dents, scratches and lack of accessories in the car - and there were many. My husband went back inside to call him, and he said everything was already listed in the contract. Meanwhile, someone else came to pick up his car from the parking lot, and our car was blocking the exit. I took some photos of the exterior of the car, and we left without being able to check the contract. The car itself - a fiat cinquecento - was very worn down - 88000 km. The trunk door didn't close properly unless you tried several times. The trunk lid was missing. There weren't mats. The car wasn't properly clean - there was dog fur in the trunk. The radio antenna was missing. We dropped off the car near Malpensa Airport. The location is easy to find, at a Gas Station. When the clerk checked the defects on the car, bingo, most of them weren't listed in the contract, which had my digital signature. I showed the pictures I had made and he called his superiors. They approved it and nothing was charged. Yet, an unpleasant situation. Both the drop off and pick up were fast, though.

Do not rent from Ecovia/Autovia. I picked up the car at the airport, drove it to a gated residence, and parked it and didn't drive it again until I returned the car to the airport. When I returned the car, they found a "scratch" on the Back of the mirror and Ecovia wants to charge me about $160. This is a ridiculous and frivolous charge. First, it was late at night, dark and rainy when I picked up the car. I did a cursory inspection of the vehicle but who checks the back of the mirror for scratches? No American company would charge you for this. Just look at the attached picture ! I'm sure the scratch was already on the car when I picked it up because it was parked undisturbed in a garage at a residence. Maybe I was penalized for not purchasing their insurance. I appealed the charge to Ecovia/Autovia to no avail. The other practice that this company did was to give me the car with the tank 2/8ths full of gas. When this happens, the customer Always returns the car with more gas because he/she does not want to be charged. The customer deserves a car with a full tank of gas at pick-up. Start-up rental companies like Ecovia with unethical practices like this should be avoided. They drive you to the major car rentals where you know you will pay more but they won't try to screw you like Ecovia is doing to me. The low price isn't always a good deal. It bothers me that this company is getting away with screwing me on such a frivolous charge. Just look at the picture. I will not rent from Ecovia again. Buyer beware of Ecovia/Autovia!
