I think you should state clearer that the pick up desk is in a rent car terminal not in the actual airport terminal. It was confusing when we arrived. However the car was excellent.

Un accueil déplorable. Un manque de respect que je n'ai jamais vu ailleurs (je loue des véhicules 2X/an depuis 15 ans). A la réception comme au retour on se fiche de vous et on vous traite comme un chien ! et je suis gentil... Je pourrais écrire une page entière sur mes déboires avec les employés de cette compagnie. L'employé au guichet ne vous écoute pas et après "3h30" d'explications (avec un enfant en bas âge), l'employé devant l'évidence doit admettre qu'il s'est trompé mais il ne s'excuse pas et à même l'air agacé ! Entre temps, il a même été prendre sa pause (30 minutes) et vous laisse poireauté sans vous prévenir... Et pour le retour du véhicule (avec une légère griffe), on vous demande le paiement d'une somme sans aucun justificatif alors qu'une caution a été bloquée. Je demande des explications, la personne me dit : "non" et me tourne le dos. Incroyable du jamais vu... Lamentable tout simplement ! Fuyez malheureux...

The car I ordered was an automatic SUV..... the car I was given was an automatic Fiat 500!!!!! Sicily by car didn't even own any automatic SUV cars!!!!!!! Service was appalling, waited 2.5 hours to collect the car in a massive queue as their process was highly inefficient, other car rental companies were serving people within 5 mins. It was obscene. I'm currently in contact with them to get a refund as I didn't get the car I paid for and they told me to "contact my intermediary" shocking service. I would give them 0 for customer service if I could.

Shocking service. Had to wait an hour and a half on pick up which was pretty much the same amount of time to fly there. Staff were rude and not very helpful. Would never use again

Locating the Sicily By Car desk was easy. The member of staff dealt with us quickly and efficiently. There was no hard sell of insurances although the various excesses and what was and wasn't covered were clearly explained. The car it's self was quite new, but with over 50k km on the clock, had its fair share of small dings and scrapes which were accurately recorded. The car it's-self could have been slightly cleaner, but could in no way be described as dirty. The return process was simple and straightforward. We added no damage to the car and there was no dispute about this. Overall, I'd have no hesitation in using Sicily By Car again or recommending their service.

1. The vehicle return process was made exceptionally painful and time consuming in that (a) Pisa airport signage is very poor in terms of guiding you to the car rental return location; and (b) the SicilybyCar return process out in 30C + heat was manned by only one very willing but very very overwhelmed staff member. Tempers were seriously frayed and I’m not sure how the staff member in question was able to remain calm under intense verbal pressure. 2. Found out at check in that the excess elimination insurance that I bought worked in an unusual way in That I would have to pay Sicily by Car up to €1600 and then reclaim that somehow or other from Easyrentcar or the insurer direct. This should be brought out in BOLD type in your terms and conditions as it is most unusual in my frequent experience of renting vehicles

A typical car rental experience...too many people disorganized counter. Seems like the business is stuck in the 1960's...and not in a good way. We paid extra for an automatic convertible car...they gave us a manual one at first and then didn't have a convertible that was automatic...so a waste of money. Car return was poorly coordinated as well...had us standing in the rain and no place to park the car. Ultimately this is what you get for finding the cheapest options. Also the industry needs a proper overhaul.

The staff were reasonably friendly at pick-up, probably helped by my being able to speak Italian. The car we received was smaller than anticipated, but it had enough room for us to travel from Pisa Airport to our destination about 2 hours away. The Lancia Ypsilon was very underpowered! Especially going up hills, which often required dropping down 2 or 3 gears to climb!!! On the return, the agent commented that they were unable to check the condition of the car, as it was dirty, and that I would have to take it to a car wash before returning it! The dirt was from 18 days driving around white roads and normal roads in Tuscany during which time we experienced a range of weather conditions from heat to thunderstorms and heavy showers of rain. No mention was made at pick-up about returning the car "washed". Nor have I ever experienced this requirement with any other car hire company at Pisa Airport, or any other airport in Italy, over the past 30 years!

The car was a fiat 500 not the car we booked. It was in poor condition but mechanically ok. The Guy Andreas who we have met before is very easy to talk to and was understanding of the condition of the car. The process of getting a car at the desk took 40 minutes despite us being the only people at the booking desk. It was late in the afternoon so not ideal.
