CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON MAGGIORE AT ROME FIUMICINO AIRPORT, FCO

Efficient service, excellent vehicle condition

Very dissatisfied: 1. Extremely slow, took almost half a day to get the car; 2. The car they gave me was actually a Toyota; 3. I requested an automatic but got a manual; 4. They charged me twice for the same thing when I returned.

Overcharged

For four consecutive months after the rental, I was charged every month due to the same fine being applied each time. Because the amount was only a bit over 20 euros, I didn't notice until four months later when I was still being charged. Since I was in China at the time, I finally realized. However, the previous charges had already been paid off on my credit card. This company charged me five times for the same fine, which is outrageous. While the car rental platform has grown large, it includes many companies, and the cheaper and less-known ones tend to overcharge. It's unfortunate that the rental platform couldn't provide any assistance.

I rented an Audi A4, but was given a Ford Focus 1.5. The difference is substantial.

Good staff attitude, short waiting time

Charged 34 euro for 1 bar less to full tank.

The vehicle had warning messages and was damaged on 3 corners! We asked if there was a mapping system at the counter and were told no - so paid extra for a GPS system when there was a GPS in the car! At drop off there was no one at the counter and we had to call and wait for someone to come - he was then very cranky. All in all a terrible experience.

The gearbox couldn't shift under normal driving conditions, and the company took too long to address the issue. They also refused to replace the vehicle with the same model.

Poor customer service

This car rental company is absolutely disgusting, complete scammers. When I picked up the car, the tank wasn't even full. The staff told me to return it with the same amount of fuel. They even pointed to the pickup slip where it said 80. When I returned the car, the inspection person checked the slip and said everything was fine. Now that I'm back home, they charged me, saying I didn't refuel it completely! I filed a complaint through the car rental platform, and they responded that the 80 referred to the tank capacity! Is this a premeditated scam? Deliberately unclear on the paperwork to confuse customers and then charge them extra? Could this method be any more despicable? PS: I speak Italian, so don't give me any communication error excuses. If this is their response, it only proves this car rental company is problematic, trying to scam as much money as possible. They probably rely on such methods to make considerable extra income, rental by rental. It's laughable and utterly disgusting!

We reserved a Audi A3 but got a Mini Cooper( same class according to the car rental angency but we prefer an Audi A3, no big deal though), the car was absolutely disgusting and we're too busy learning everything about the car before drive away from their Rome airport garage that we forgot to check the fuel level, a few minute after we checked out from the garage we saw that the fuel was only half but the paper stated it was full so we had to return to the garage and ask the staff, he wrote sth casually on the paper and walked away with zero interest in listening to our complain about the dirty car. When we returned the car in Ancona the guy there told us that's what happens at their Rome airport branch quite often, guess they're either understaffed or just have no desire keeping their customer! Btw on my confirmation with EasyRentCars it states clearly that the price quote includes one-way-return but when we picked up the car Maggiore still added a charge we can't remember why but we never buy any add-ons when rent cars, one driver/deny all insurance coz our credit card covers it/same fuel level/no gps needed....we needed nothing extra, now Amex is investigating the extra charge for us.

Processing took an hour.

Poor English, selling unnecessary services, no reminders for important notices.

1. Reserved car was not available at the scheduled time 2. Replacement car was severely substandard 3. Wrong return location provided
