SURPRICE RENT A CAR CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Great service at both pick and and drop off. Surprice was our first and last impression of the country and straight away we knew we were going to have a great holiday based on their friendly and helpful nature.

Vfm

Shuttle bus service poor and directions for car return very poor. I would not use surprice again.

Booking platform all good.

The Lancia Ypsilon's interior layout is unconventional, which makes the dashboard, speedometer and other controls not very functional for the driver. I also found that the Surprice staff examined each car's condition with a magnifying glass, so to speak, compared to the other Greek car rental companies I've used, which seem unconcerned about minor scratches etc.

Would be good to have staff wearing a t-shirt or shirt with the company logo on it. We were told to meet “a guy wearing a grey t-shirt” outside to collect the car. Also at busy times additional staff are needed when collecting/dropping off cars

Was advised to go to Easy Rent on first floor no mention of Surprice at all. Not one panel of the car clear of scratches and bumps. Warning light wouldn’t go off was told it was tyre pressure and was advised that it’s ok when they kicked the wheel. Dreadful rattling noises.

All right

Everything was OK beside two thibgs: the toll device was a hidden cost (1.2€/day) and they only work until 8pm... Has to pay 35 euro extra for overtime since my plane was late.

Hired a Seat Ibiza or similar - received a Toyota Yaris, which is more of a budget model than I would have expected. The car was brand new though so that was a plus. Initial pickup was fine, but car was experiencing major faults when idling - twice the engine fully cutting out at busy roundabouts. Decided car was not fit to drive so once we finally got the car going again we drove back to the pickup point. Service centre were very quick to identify a loose battery connection, and also told us (then!) as to a trick with the Yaris that needs a double-pump of the clutch. Can't fault the service staff, as quickly resolved the issue. Annoying not to be told about the clutch particular though, as that should have been mentioned at collection of the car. Car was ok for the rest of the trip. Most annoying part has been communication with the head office since, where I have asked for some compensation to cover fuel and road tolls we incurred as a result of going back to the collection point to have the car fixed. Very little understanding and no empathy whatsoever. Really disappointed with this and won't recommend this company as a result.

Well, first of all they never answered the phone when we tried to call to inform them that our flight had been changed and that we would arrive earlier. So when we actually arrived, they were not quite happy. Still, we got the car. But then, they asked for a credit card, which we had, but didnt want OUR credit cards so they made us pay an insurance to cover the "risk" of not having a credit card. Anyways, the car was fine and we were pretty satisfied with it. Just the employees were a bit off.

Had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for pick up of shuttle bus and depot about 10 mins from airport and difficult to fined when returning car We were charged another 35 euros as they said we were late but when booking the car rental we stated pick up time 8.00pm and we were there at 7.50pm and suttle bus didn't arrive till 8.05pm also told if we used the toll bridge by mistake we would be charged another 35 euros other car rental companies would just charge us the toll bridge charges so we will not be hiring from Surprice again

No. Smaller class than ordered. Fuel not full

We were upgraded to a larger car. It was dark so we could not check the bodywork with confidence, so checked it the next day in daylight and found minor dents from previous users. I photographed them and sent them to Surprice who replied promptly with thanks and confirmation that we would not be affected. Upon return, staff were gushingly helpful and pleasant. A positive contribution to the holiday experience.

Staff was helpful but seem to be confused when there are a few costumers

Good site great prices

The car had a number of minor scratches on the bodywork, hub caps and wheel rims (normal wear and tear, given the car's purpose!). The agent left me in no doubt that a scratch would cost hundreds of pounds. They had not made any effort that I could see to repair previous damage. He took detailed pictures of the car with his I-pad so I did the same with my phone. This made me reluctant to use the car as much as I had planned to, as the local driving and condition of the roads was poor. There were also a number of poor reviews online to back up my concerns. However, when I returned the car the agent took lots of photos, inside and out. I did the same. The car was given a clean bill of health and I was told my deposit would be returned in a few days. Although everything worked out fine, I was made to feel somewhat uneasy about dealing with the company.

Only comment is as the rental office is off airport need clear direction /assistance on how get car back to rental site and useful if client asks for help on arrival for onward travel. Staff were not helpful, I was told there was sat nav in the car , but found it a nightmare to use and I had no proper address for return journey to input . Something as simple as having the rental site saved as a favourite on the sat nav ? Or if client has address for onward location , shown how to use dat nav if going to use it when travelling ...It dies cause me some worry while I was away ., but good car , price and general service. It has made me think I’d rather have an on-site pickup at airport , no stress on getting lost and motorway fines.

Excellent service and super detailed explanation of the car! Given that it's our first time in sofia, the staff really went the extra mile to explained the ins and out of driving and Parking in sofia! A clean ride that was fuel efficient! Amazing!

yes waited long time at airport to be picked up

Phone contact to Agent. Individual pick-up from airport. Quick electronic process. Any "new" scratches and dents were added immediately to rent a protocol. Car was clean and very well quipped. After drop-off I got transport to airport. Deposit on credit card was released 7 days later.

phone numbers were incorrect and need changing.

est ce que la toyota aygo est vraiment l’équivalent d'une fiat 500 L??? Une plus grande transparence sur d'éventuels frais qui pourraient êtres engendrés par un retour hors des horaires d'ouvertures du bureau.........
