Overall, quite satisfied. Make sure to scan the QR code to queue as soon as you arrive at the store, otherwise you might have to wait for a long time. I stood at the store for five minutes before noticing the sign and ended up waiting 40 minutes to be served (you can also pay over 40 euros to skip the line).
When picking up the car, I was given a rental agreement, but it was blank with no damages marked. The staff said that all records were in the system. The actual mileage didn't quite match, but since I had unlimited mileage, I didn't worry about it. The counter staff only handed me the keys without accompanying me for a vehicle inspection. Therefore, I strongly suggest thoroughly inspecting the car and taking photos of any damages before driving off, as the staff will conduct a detailed inspection when you return the vehicle.
Also, if you're renting a 9-seater vehicle, make sure to confirm the vehicle's height. This is important for clearance limitations and to avoid issues with certain parking garages. Damage caused by height restrictions is not covered by insurance. When I rented the car, the staff didn’t inform me, nor was there any reminder inside the vehicle.
The car was in good condition, and there were no issues with the vehicle itself. However, you need to be cautious during pickup and drop-off, or you might end up like me, facing unexpected compensation charges at return. The issue was that when I picked up the car at the train station, the staff simply handed me the keys and said they had already inspected the car. Having prior experience with car rentals, I took a video of the car's exterior myself. But when I returned the car at the airport, the staff claimed there was a new scratch on the front left bumper and refused to accept my video evidence. They gave me a statement form to fill out and submit to the rental company, but they still insisted that I pay €218 for the repair on the spot before allowing me to leave. I had purchased separate car damage insurance back in my home country and didn’t buy the full coverage from Sicily. Arguing with the staff was futile, so I had no choice but to pay and then file for reimbursement with my insurance company back home. Travelers who rely on basic English skills may find it difficult to handle such situations, especially when time is tight for returning flights. While I didn't suffer an actual financial loss, it gave me a deeper understanding of how Italian car rental companies operate. I strongly suggest that when renting a car in European countries, you insist that the staff carefully verify and document all existing scratches during pickup to reduce the chances of being taken advantage of.
The process was quick, and they provided the reserved car, which turned out to be diesel-powered. The engine was very strong, easily handling mountain roads and highways. Be sure to have certified official documents ready, as both the car rental company and the police will only recognize these.
The service was highly professional, staff were warm and attentive, the procedures were handled efficiently and conveniently, and the car return process went smoothly.
The lady handling the paperwork during pickup was very polite, but her Italian-accented English was quite hard to understand. The staff checking the car during drop-off were very courteous as well. They inspected the car for a short while and then told me everything was fine. The €200 deposit was refunded to my account just 2 hours after I returned the car, which was impressively fast.
The staff handling the paperwork during car pickup was very polite. However, her heavily Italian-accented English was quite hard to understand. During car return, the inspector was incredibly polite as well. He checked the car briefly and informed me that everything was okay. The €200 deposit was refunded to my account within 2 hours after the return, which was impressively fast.
This is the second time renting from this company. They provided an Italian local brand, Lancia. Although it's a small car, it performs excellently on the narrow roads of many small towns in Italy. With a 1.0-liter engine and electric assistance, fuel consumption is extremely low, and the space is sufficient for two people. I purchased full insurance directly from the car rental agency for peace of mind. The staff assured me that even if the car is damaged extensively, there's no need to pay. During drop-off, they didn't even inspect the car.
