CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ECOVIA AT ROME FIUMICINO AIRPORT, FCO

I was upgraded with an Oprl Corsa 1.2 and was nice to drive.

The staff were relatively patient and enthusiastic, considering the language barrier.

Like: The vehicle was clean and in good condition. In addition, it had both GPL and benzine capabilities so we saved using GPL.
Dislike: We had to turn in the vehicle already washed. In addition, every little scratch gets recorded on case more scratches appear. We were careful and returned the vehicle in great condition, but some scratches should be considered normal wear and tear. Larger and more notable scratches may be worthwhile annotating, but not the small door dings and similar scratches.

Rental office is adjacent to car pick-up (unlike other rental offices at Fiumicino). Friendly staff, good English, quick transparent process. Overall great experience. Metano is hard to find in Italy - try to avoid Sings point to "Autovia" - which is also "Ecovia"

Can't speak Chinese

I booked this one and my relatives booked with two different companies. Mine was by far the cheapest and i was the onlyone that got a free upgrade! They also gave me a discount so i didnt need to fill up at return! Relatives had to fill up before returning!

Deffinately smooth and the best price!

It was easy and great

Easy to use

Car location address and phone number was not showing booking receipt plus extra money insurance $190.00 Europe.

Staff at the counter keep pestering us to buy insurance and sounds confirmed the car will get stolen so must buy insurance from them so they won’t hold our deposit . I told them we brought and he insist ours is not covered , must buy theirs .

Fast act and received email from EasyRentCars after we called our insurance .

When we got to the check in point they tried the hard sell of more insurance. We told them that we had already paid for the fully waiver insurance bring our excess down to £0. They kept stating this was not the case. I showed them my phone and they they changed their statement to well it it’s not through us so you need it again which is not the case. The first car we were shown was dirty and we were told to bring the car back clean. I asked why I had to clean a dirty car? The person that came out to inspect the car with me confirmed to the sales lady that it was dirty so there should be no charge. On entering the vehicle we noticed that they had issued us with a manual transmission. I went back to the desk and showed them their voucher which said Auto. They told me that this was just a car. Again I had to get the Easyrentcar email out to prove that we had ordered a Automatic. After we found this we got an Automatic. We feel like Ecovia tried everything to give us the cheapest car first for top money and didn’t want to give me the car that we had ordered. They charged the wrong credit card so we had to paid for 2 deposits (1 was returned the same day) otherwise we would have to pay a further €18 for their incompetence. The return was easy and the same guy came to inspect and we had no issues with him. Only the sales lady!! This whole experience of renting a car has put us off. We have rented many cars in the past and it has been very easy. To all be warned about Ecovia/ Autovia they will try and get all the money they can out of you and not provide you the car you paid for.

Ecovia and Autovia are the same company, but it's hard to find. The drop-off location is not at the airport; you need to drive 8 kilometers away and then take a shuttle back.
