Very satisfied, the Peugeot 208 driving experience was excellent

The prices are relatively reasonable, there are plenty of cars, and the staff are quite decent.

This car rental experience was very unpleasant. This company is not only fraudulent but also extorts money! I had prepaid for full insurance through the rental platform and showed the printed proof to the driver. When renting the car, they mentioned a deposit and charged my friend's credit card 501.73 euros. Unfortunately, I wasn't present to see the so-called 'contract,' and my friend, who signed, didn't understand it at all. A nearby Italian speaker confirmed it was a 'deposit.' However, only 200 euros was a deposit; the remaining 301.73 was for additional insurance and handling fees. Upon returning the car, there was no settlement receipt provided, and when I asked, they only said the deposit would be refunded in two weeks. We returned to our country on November 8th, and in December and January, the credit card was charged two separate amounts of 61 euros. After contacting the rental platform, I was informed these were violation handling fees by Sicily By Car! Note that these were just administrative fees and didn't include the actual fines. After persistent inquiries, the platform managed to get details on the violations—time, location, and reasons. While we don't dispute the fines, the rental company charging 61 euros per ticket as a handling fee is outrageous! The platform mentioned this is a common practice among Italian rental companies due to high labor costs. I consulted a friend who was also fined by an Italian rental company, and he said Sixt clearly charges 22% of the fine amount as an administration fee! Sicily By Car, where did you get the 61 euros from? They claimed it was stated in the contract and have the right to keep charging without limits from the credit card because of the signed agreement. I want to emphasize that I have been mostly satisfied with the platform’s follow-up since I lodged a complaint on December 2nd, but without a regulatory system for vendors on the platform, how can rental customers feel safe? This makes renting through the platform no different than renting directly! You can't justify it by saying you earn little from each rental. One last thing: the girl who helped me with the follow-up was very responsible, but there are many issues she can't solve! This is a problem with the platform's mechanism!

Overall satisfied. They did try to upsell their insurance, but their attitude was good after I declined.

The car was nice, though it had some outer cosmetic damage from the previous rides. Didn't mind it, because everything was functional and the price was great. The rental process was easy, but you have to keep in mind that there are too many people renting the car at Milano Airport - I was 17th in line and with the 4 counters it took about an hour. The only big gripe I have - I forgot my wallet with driving license in the car and though I did call and wrote an email when I found it missing 10 hours later in another country I'm still waiting for the answer to my request! They said they are currently too busy to look for it and it's been 18 hours.

I was reluctant first to try the service because I always used another famous site, but the deals I've found here were too tempting. And it even got better when the Price Protection kicked in. A week before the date I got warning that the price was down and I managed to rebook the car paying 60% less. This is an exceptional service, thank you!
