Southern Italy and Malta

Great service

If you understand Italian, you can experience excellent service. Their English is average.

The lady at the store was very friendly and specifically suggested a route for our return to make it easier to refuel before dropping off the car. She also pointed out that since we had already purchased full insurance through QEEQ, we didn't need to buy any additional coverage. The staff was very polite during the car exchange, the whole process was smooth, and there were no issues.

Due to language barriers, we were inexplicably given a Ford Focus. There was noticeable damage to the car exterior, but the staff had us sign the form stating the car was in good condition before we noticed it. Though we weren't charged for it, we still felt deceived. Our bill did not match the one we received from QEEQ. We suspect we were overcharged, as Thrifty's bill was over 100 euros higher, allegedly due to taxes according to the staff, which is outrageous. While driving, the dashboard showed a tire pressure warning, but we found nothing unusual when we checked. When returning the car, the staff pointed out a random mark on one of the tires and charged us 160 euros for tire replacement. We really felt scammed, it was absurd.

The car delivered was different from the one I booked
