The staff at the Rome airport counter spoke very poor English, hardly understandable. They kept pushing for full insurance, and seemed very displeased when we declined. They gave us a subpar car despite our large luggage. At the parking lot counter, they kept stalling and refusing to change the car, only offering a FIAT500 convertible, which was a struggle to fit our luggage into. I was quite dissatisfied with the service attitude of the Rome airport staff, but to avoid affecting our itinerary, I didn't argue further.
We initially booked the rental car on Zuzuche for 1,375 euros, but when we got to Rome to pick up the car, they said we needed to pay extra because there were two drivers, raising the price to over 1,600 euros. We accepted that. During the trip, our car window was smashed by thieves, and when we returned the car to the Madrid Avis location, they charged us 480 euros for the repair, which we also accepted. However, Avis ended up charging us a total of 2,357 euros, at least 200 euros more than expected, and there was no way to dispute it.
Although there were only 4 people in line, the service was extremely slow. I overheard conversations about upgrades, insurance, and vehicle changes. Compared to car rentals in Germany, Switzerland, the USA, and Japan, the efficiency here is too low. Many unnecessary discussions that should be avoided.
The rental company had a guide who was very polite. However, the person who assisted me during the rental was not very professional, especially since he kept speaking Italian to someone else while talking to me.
Most importantly, I ended up paying almost double the rental fee, which was very irritating.
Initially, it was agreed to return the car with a full tank. However, upon arrival, they required an empty tank and charged 67 euros for fuel. The staff was inefficient and kept chatting, taking an hour to complete a single process.
