    Habíamos reservado un coche a recoger en el aeropuerto de Catania. Al llegar al mostrador, había una cola tremenda y, aún teniendo la reserva, tuvimos que coger "número" para ser atendidos. Preguntamos por nuestro turno al staff de SilicyByCar y contestaron con burla "see you tomorrow"... Finalmente, tras esperar durante 3,5h y más de 80 turnos, pudimos coger el coche. Respecto al coche, excelente, nuevo y limpio. El drop off del coche, en otro mostrador que el de recogida, fue fácil y rápido.

    The customer service was excellent, though at the airport in Catania where to pick up the car was not at all clear and we ended up waiting over two hours to pick up the car which was a bit of a nightmare.

    The collection took about 90 minutes, just to get through the queue - for which you had to take a ticket to reserve your place - although this was not immediately obvious. There must be a simpler and more efficient way in which to book people into cars than the systems used here - it took about 20 minutes per car - horrendous!

    Car is reasonable and as expected, but pick up location is in a separate building next to the terminal nut not mentioned on the booking contract, this should be improved. It may not necessary to get full protection from web since the car rental will sell you additional insurance and you don't need to claim the excess. Further, the renter full coverage is essential for driving in Sicily.

    The price of hire was expensive compared to renting in other places. Maybe the Sicilians are too greedy. Pick-up was a farce: it took two and a half hours! Never before have I had such a disagreeable experience. Too many people, too few staff, and on that basis alone I would be reluctant to use Sicily By Car again. This must be better in the future.

    Very professional and friendly service. At the drop off was pouring down rain and the place was a good 10 minutes walking from the airport, I asked the guy after he checked the car if he could drive me back and he did, his name was Vito. I am very satisfied.
