This company is terrible and has no limits to its greed. From the very first day of picking up the car, there were various issues. Initially, I stated that I did not need any additional insurance. However, when they gave me the contract to sign, they intentionally showed the last page in Italian (the contract was multi-page, with the first page in English). Only after I requested the English version did they switch it for me. In the English contract, I noticed an extra insurance charge of over 300 euros and questioned it. Shamelessly, they claimed this insurance could not be canceled, saying it was chosen when I initially booked (who are they fooling? I booked my insurance through a Chinese company, which has nothing to do with the car rental company, so this charge should not appear in their contract). After repeatedly asking for cancellation without success, I had to call the rental company, and only after a representative mediated were multiple service fees canceled (this is when I found out they also charged for multiple drivers and a full tank return fee, even though they only verified my information, yet still charged for multiple drivers). Finally, after signing, they did not immediately send me the pick-up contract via email, causing around an hour delay before they sent the pick-up confirmation email (which was needed to get the car). Returning the car was just as problematic. Despite no accidents or scratches, and even with photographic evidence of the car's condition at pick-up, they unfairly blamed a small scratch on the tire on me, refused to provide evidence or photos of the damage, and forcibly charged me 700 euros. Furthermore, they told us to leave after confirming the return, saying an email would follow, but then delayed the return confirmation, charging an extra day's rental fee, and shamelessly deducting a fuel service fee (even though I pointed out the full tank at return, with the inspector giving me a thumbs-up, they still charged me 30 euros for fuel. This is the first time I’ve encountered such shameless behavior. It seems like the car rental staff in Italy are all equally unscrupulous).

I'm absolutely furious. We booked a car through the rental platform and got the most comprehensive insurance beforehand. When we got there and wanted to add an extra driver, they required us to buy insurance for the driver. We had previously rented cars in the US and Australia, and it went smoothly. We consulted the rental platform, and they confirmed that we could simply add a driver without having to buy insurance, as we already had it for the car. However, the store staff disagreed. A very beautiful lady, but with a terrible attitude, argued with us for the whole morning. The rental company's customer service also called to help communicate. Finally, we decided not to add the driver. The staff agreed and simply crossed out the additional fee with a pen, without printing a new contract. Trusting Europeans to be honest, we didn't object. When we returned the car, we found out they never changed it in the computer system, and we still ended up with the insurance!

When picking up the car, we clearly stated that we don't need additional insurance as we had already bought it in China! But they still added expensive insurance! The confirmation form was in Italian, and we didn’t check it carefully before signing! That was really careless of us!

Budget rental company is disgusting. Arrived early and no one informed me. They charged an extra hour after return. Trash service. If I arrive early, don't give me the car. If there's an extra charge, inform me. Almost 40 euros per hour, what a rip-off. Extremely disgusting.
