The service was fine, with a few minutes of wait time. However, the clerk informed me that there were no Audi A3s available, and they upgraded me to a GM SUV. Although this might seem like an upgrade, I was not happy. I mainly drove in the Dolomites, where narrow, winding roads make a smaller car preferable. The bigger car just made driving more cumbersome.
I was also dissatisfied with them not marking existing damages on the car, although the rest of the service was acceptable.
The car provided did not match the one I booked; I received an extremely damaged old vehicle. They claimed all cars were like that and had no Smart available. The staff had a terrible attitude, especially after learning I refused to purchase any insurance. They ignored my request for help with my 30 kg suitcase, and one of the female staff members complained of back pain. Ultimately, a passerby helped me with my luggage. The car was very old, had no USB port, and the central console screen was almost unreadable, so I had to use my phone for navigation. For pickup, they had to collect me from the airport, but communication was difficult in English until a local helped translate. I had to wait outside the airport for them, which was 5 km away. They charged €50 for dropping off the car at the airport, whereas my nearby hotel owner charged €30 for the ride. Overall, my 7-day rental cost me over €20 additionally, and the taxi to the airport cost me €30 for 5 km. They also charged me over €800 without explanation; I have notified the bank for investigation and they advised me to report to the police if necessary. Be careful when dealing with this company or any car rental in Italy, as even gas stations can be tricky.
They forgot about us when we return car and the office was closed. But we called them and they came after 15 minutes.
