The car rental experience with Sicily by Car was very good. The new car only had 800 kilometers on it. The counter service was good; there was no aggressive upselling of insurance. The return process was quick and convenient. The driving performance of the SEAT SUN was excellent, especially on the winding roads of the Amalfi Coast. The smart features were comparable to those of domestic electric cars.
This is one of the bigger companies around, the pickup and drop-off were quite fast. They charged a 650-euro pre-authorization, which I think hasn't been released yet. Overall, a good experience. Italy is very suitable for self-driving, except for the high parking costs. For experienced drivers, the basic insurance is usually enough, no need for full coverage, as locals drive and park very orderly. A word of caution, this parking lot can be tricky. After picking up the car, the rental company's parking area will issue a parking card. When you leave the parking building, you should insert the card into the machine for automatic gate open. However, it didn't work for me, so I had to call for manual assistance to open the gate. As a result, it continued to count as if the car was still inside, and I only noticed in the evening in Naples, ending up paying a 33-euro parking fee. In such cases, after exiting, immediately park on the side and use the 'easy parking' app provided on the receipt to scan and pay quickly.
The service attitude of the car rental company is good, and the car's condition is also decent. However, during the return process, it felt like they were trying to charge you unnecessarily, being extremely meticulous and picky about every scratch, which made me uncomfortable.
The car I actually received was in terrible condition! The left side mirror was covered in tape and looked ready to fall off, and there were several scratches on the body. Though they did point these out when I picked up the car and told me to take pictures, they still charged me 500 euros for dents that were barely visible unless you looked closely when I returned the car! Fortunately, Zuzuche helped me with the compensation, but I would still suggest everyone avoid this rental company.
Overall, very satisfied with the service. QEEQ customer support response was quick and professional. The Rome airport branch was easy to locate by following the carrental signs. The car pickup process involved no upselling; the car provided was new with only 7000 kilometers on it. The trunk was much larger than a Golf. The return process was efficient; just had to sign and leave. Paid a €200 deposit on pickup, which has not been refunded yet.
Overall satisfied. The car is suitable for two people traveling through streets and alleys. It has CarPlay and USB charging. The hybrid fuel consumption is 4.6. No upselling.
Overall, it was quite good. The drop-off process was efficient, with no damage or accidents. They upgraded me from a Peugeot 208 to a Citroën C3 manual diesel. The car had over 80,000 kilometers on it. I had to add AdBlue myself, costing over 16 euros. QEEQ mentioned I could get reimbursed from the rental company, but I threw away the receipt. Sisilybycar doesn't charge extra for cross-country trips, which is great!
The return location map and address information were incorrect, and the provided phone number was unreachable. It was an absolutely terrible experience.
