“Sicily: Car Pickup at CTA - Agrigento - Syracuse - Taormina - Mount Etna - Car Return at CTA”
About Hertz:8.0/10
It was quite convenient; both pickup and drop-off were very quick. The parking lot and the place to complete car rental formalities were very close to the arrival hall.
The whole process was extremely disappointing. We booked an Audi Q7, but upon arrival, they required two credit cards for the guarantee. Since we only had one credit card, they refused to provide the vehicle. In fact, we later checked the airport parking lot, which was not large and didn't have a Q7 at all. This was further confirmed the next day during our communication; the model simply doesn't exist, which made the whole scenario feel deliberate. The receptionist, named Claudia, had a very poor attitude and gave us a manual transmission vehicle while charging us for an automatic Audi Q7. After nearly two hours of negotiation, we finally received an automatic Japanese car at a reduced rate. By this time, it was already midnight, and my three-and-a-half-year-old child had been waiting in the cold for almost two hours. I want to know if this issue stems from miscommunication between QEEQ and Hertz, or if QEEQ sold us a non-existent model. I expect an explanation from QEEQ.
“smooth booking process but vastly excessive delays both on pick up and drop off. Disappointing”
About Hertz:6.7/10
I waited just over 2 hours to pick up my vehicle. Then the seat belts weren't set up properly leading to further delays. Despite the best efforts of the staff who were friendly and helpful, they just couldn't cope with the volume of demands placed on them. Also vehicle drop off was a 45 minute wait, very disorganized and not enough staff. again staff were friendly and helpful but overwhelmed with customers to deal with. It was very disappointing and I will NOT choose Hertz again because of this.
The process took a long time and there were many people waiting. The vehicle was different from the one we reserved; they gave us a 9-seater van, which was very inconvenient for navigating through the small towns in Italy. Additionally, our drop-off point was in the center of Palermo, requiring us to pass through the ZTL zone, for which we had to pay an extra 5 euros. They neither provided a service to remove the charge nor sold the tickets for it.
It's surprising that such a big company doesn't have a POS machine. Manual entry had to be used for payment, and since I used a HSBC card, the bank saw it as a risky transaction and froze the merchant's account. I couldn't rent the car as a result.
Very poor experience. Firstly, I booked an Alfa but was forced to choose between a nine-seater manual and automatic. Because the car was too big, I opted for the automatic and had to pay an extra 20 euros. Secondly, I purchased full insurance, but the customer service told me to report to the police for a claim. The police did not accept it and did not provide any incident number. As a result, for a small scratch, the rental company charged me 200 euros.
The printed form clearly stated not to add extra insurance, as I already purchased third-party full insurance. However, they still held our full insurance and theft insurance. After negotiation, they claimed to have canceled the operation, but the money has not yet been returned to my credit card.
In addition to credit and debit cards, you can now pay for online car rentals with cryptocurrency! Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are accepted. Curious about how long a Bitcoin transaction takes or how to pay with Bitcoin? Read our FAQs for more details.
