Un surcoût de 44e a mon arrivée soit disant pour une arrivée après 23h....alors que j'étais au comptoir avant et que le temps de passer il était 23h35...mais ce surcout non prévu et non annoncé est une honte totale et inadmissible...je ne recommande pas cette prise d'otage.

We waited for more then an hour to pick up our car and the then the desk staff were grumpy and made me feel that I was making a big mistake not taking out their insurance. They told me that my own insurance wasn’t good enough and that I would definitely be paying some money to them by the end of my trip. They told me ‘good luck driving here’.

The car was quite damage and I was not very happy considering that I needed it for a wedding. Also I had a warning light about "changing the oil immediately" not ideal when We were going around Sicily. The wipes were terrible and they were not cleaning the screen at all. At some point I had to stop and buy some cloths and window cleaner because with the sun I was not able to see. The roof was playing up and in various time it stayed open.

The car was nearly new. The staff was professional and courteous. Pick-up and drop of was relatively quick. On drop-off a thorough inspection of car was conducted by the staff for any damage to the vehicle.

The pickup and return processes are very efficient. The credit card deposit was refunded within minutes after returning the car. The only minor issue was at the airport pickup location, where the store indicated queuing was required, but after taking a number, no one actually called the numbers. The staff were busy looking at their phones, and I only found out there was no need to queue after asking proactively.
