CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON AVIS AT CATANIA AIRPORT, CTA

Before our trip, we carefully inquired with the customer service on the Zuzuche website. The customer service clearly indicated that Avis would accept Chinese driving licenses with translations and notarized copies. However, when we arrived exhausted at Catania Airport, Avis refused to rent to us and directed us to a small company next door called Green Motion. The staff at this small company barely spoke English, but fortunately, I spoke Italian well enough to communicate with them. After a three-hour wait and some hassle, we finally got the car. The only available automatic car was a Mercedes Benz. Since we were traveling with a child who was already tired and hungry, we had no choice but to negotiate. We ended up paying 600 euros for 8 days of rental and an 800-euro pre-authorization as a deposit, with no full insurance. Any issues would be deducted from the deposit. This forced us to drive extremely carefully. We originally planned to rent a small car with full insurance for 485 euros, but instead, it turned into an expensive, uninsured Mercedes. The experience was very frustrating.

We did not yet receive a confirmation of drop-off since we had to drop off the vehicle before business hours by dropping the car key in a lock box. Customer service at pickup was fantastic !

We love QEEQ’s services!

There were only two service counters, but even with few people in line, we waited over two hours. We had purchased damage insurance, but they insisted we buy it again. Although they eventually removed the charge, it wasted a lot of time.
