About Budget: 2.0 /10

Absolutely avoid this Italian company, Budget. They are a rip-off. They push expensive insurance when picking up the car, and if you refuse, they give you an attitude. There's no staff present when you pick up the car. Even though we took photos of numerous scratches when we picked up the car, they were extremely strict during the return inspection and blamed all old scratches on us. They didn't acknowledge the photos we showed them. The damage estimate was shockingly high. Be very careful with this company.

About Budget: 2.0 /10

The car model was downgraded without a refund for the price difference. They even said that at my price, it's impossible to rent a BMW (implying that even if they have BMWs, they wouldn't give it to me), and forcibly downgraded me to a Fiat. They pushed insurance hard, claiming the insurance bought on the platform wasn't full coverage (even though I chose the most expensive option on the platform). Their attitude was okay at first, but it changed immediately when I said I wouldn't buy insurance on-site. In the end, I was forced to buy insurance under threats (even though I called the platform's customer service in China for help, they couldn't do much). It felt like the pre-sale, during-sale, and post-sale attitudes were completely different. The experience was terrible, and I won't use Zuzuche again.

About Budget: 8.0 /10

The car rental office is outside Catania airport, together with ABIS, but not far. As I arrived at 11:45 PM, I was worried they might be closed, but an attendant was still there and wasn’t impatient at all. Although the vehicle was not what I had initially expected, it was late, and I couldn't argue about it, as it was QEEQ's fault. Overall, I am satisfied.

They were very picky about the translated documents provided by the rental service, insisting on purchasing their insurance; otherwise, no car pickup.
