When picking up the car, they forced me to pay €3 per day for winter equipment, which should normally be included as standard. Then they also asked for a €10 car wash fee. When returning the car, even though I had purchased the car rental company’s full insurance (specifically because I was worried they wouldn't accept full coverage bought in my home country), the company still found a minor flaw—unsure if it existed before—and forcibly charged me a €61 handling fee. No wonder they insisted that I film a video of the car during pick-up. The car pick-up was at over 9 PM—it was cold, I was hungry, and the car was parked outdoors with poor lighting, making it impossible to properly capture any details even with a video. It felt like a trap for customers. I've been renting cars in Europe for over 10 years and have rented in Italy several times before, but this was the first time I encountered a situation where full insurance from the car rental company still required additional charges. I also have photos of the so-called damage, which clearly wasn’t an issue. The rental company was being deliberately difficult. Who can I file a complaint with about this?
The car rental company Felirent had very poor customer service. The front desk staff was extremely unhelpful and made the document check unnecessarily difficult, delaying my car pickup for 2 hours with an attitude as if I owed her money. The same behavior occurred during the car return. I had scheduled to return the car at 8:20 AM, arrived on time since I was in a hurry to catch my flight, but she deliberately wasted my time, making me wait 15 minutes before proceeding with the handover. Her attitude only improved when she noticed I had returned the car with at least 20 liters of extra fuel.
The car was not provided with a full tank of fuel, and scratches that weren't caused by me were still blamed on me. They ignored my concerns, and the €700 pre-authorization was never released, luckily I had full insurance.
The provided phone number was incorrect, and no one came for the pickup.
