The process was quick, and they provided the reserved car, which turned out to be diesel-powered. The engine was very strong, easily handling mountain roads and highways. Be sure to have certified official documents ready, as both the car rental company and the police will only recognize these.
The service attitude was terrible. During the car pickup process, the female staff member was extremely rude to us. She was very polite when dealing with a white customer, but when it came to us, she was clearly impatient. After completing the procedures, we found that the airport pickup location was very far from the store. We walked there and discovered that the key was wrong—there wasn’t a single car in the parking lot we could use. We had to walk back to exchange the key. We explained the situation politely and asked her to replace the key, but she became very impatient, adamantly insisting that she hadn’t given us the wrong key. She claimed we went to the wrong parking lot and even told us to check the contract, sarcastically suggesting we couldn’t understand English (when it’s actually her English that was terrible, coupled with a heavy accent). After some back-and-forth, she made a call to her colleague to verify and realized she had indeed given us the wrong key. Without saying a word, she quietly exchanged it and continued to insist she hadn’t made a mistake. She went as far as to say we were too incompetent to find the car and that she was giving us a more easily identifiable one to accommodate our intelligence level.
Additionally, we rented an Alfa Romeo electric car but were given a Peugeot 2008 instead. The car was supposed to have a range of 300km when fully charged, but it was grossly exaggerated—the actual range was only 150–180km. Traveling from Rome to Pisa (330km) required two fast charges.
We’ve rented cars abroad many times, and this was by far the worst experience. Stupid Italy.
The insurance purchased through the platform is completely a waste of money. At the rental company, you have to buy their insurance again. If you don't buy their full coverage, they won't process the rental for you.
I strongly advise everyone not to rent a car from this company! When they deliver the car, they check it with an impatient attitude, and many scratches and dents are left unmarked. After I inspected the car, I added nearly ten scratches to the contract myself. If you overlook taking photos, they'll later point to pre-existing scratches and make you pay for them when returning the car! I argued for nearly an hour, but they insisted the damage was caused by me. The scratch in question was under the lower fold of the rear bumper—a spot that's extremely hard to notice—and the scratch was very light. If the car is dirty, you can't see it at all. Still, they made me pay €195. From the outset, they kept saying, 'Pay €195; it won't cost you anything because your insurance will cover it.' I have shared my bad experience so no one else needs to fall into this trap!
We booked more than a month in advance and rented a car that could seat three people and fit three 24-inch suitcases. However, we were given an Opel hatchback, and the trunk could only fit one large suitcase. Putting suitcases on the back seat was unsafe, and it also cramped the space for the backseat passengers. We firmly argued with the staff at the store and eventually got a larger car, but we had to wait for two hours, which wasted a lot of our time and resulted in us arriving at the hotel almost at 12:30 AM. Worried about disputes when returning the car, we purchased full insurance at the store for three days at €102. The return process went smoothly later. Make sure to take video recordings when picking up and returning the car.
The vehicle's technical condition was extremely poor. I rented the car on May 25, and by May 27, the clutch broke and the car became undrivable. On May 29, I returned to the rental store to exchange for another car. However, immediately after leaving the store, the dashboard displayed a fault warning. I went back to the store and requested another replacement, but the staff insisted the car was perfectly fine and refused to switch, claiming that it had just undergone maintenance and was in excellent condition. I reluctantly hoped it was just a false alarm on the dashboard and had no choice but to drive it away. Unfortunately, later that night when I reached my destination, the dashboard once again showed a fault warning, and the vehicle began to shake violently. Upon inspection by local professionals, they confirmed the car was unsafe to drive and required immediate repairs. Experiencing two consecutive cars in poor technical condition raises serious concerns about the company's management practices. Additionally, there was a communication barrier during vehicle pickup, and the staff seemed impatient and had a poor attitude.
Very clear explanations, and the car was in good condition. I asked and confirmed that full insurance was already purchased through QEEQ, so it was all good.
