When we arrived to pick up the car, the one we reserved was not available—it didn't even exist. They immediately offered us two options: one very small car that wasn't even the same class we booked, or another within the same class but requiring an additional fee of 40 euros per day. After persistent negotiation and contacting the rental company, they reluctantly agreed to provide a car. Secondly, when I extended the rental for one more day, they insisted I buy an extra day of insurance. I explained that I already had full coverage, but they ignored me and threatened to deny me the car. They even froze 3000 euros on my credit card, warning that they would immediately deduct any damages. After further back-and-forth with the rental company, they eventually gave me the car, but the process took an hour. It was a frustrating experience—without prior rental experience, someone less prepared might have been forced to pay all the extra charges.

Satisfied

Overall good experience

The staff handling the procedures were very nice, especially a friendly young lady. However, the person who gave us the keys just left after handing them over. The car had a security system that we were unaware of. After parking for 2 hours and going for a walk, we couldn't start the car. We called the store, but nobody answered. Finally, we had to call roadside assistance. It turned out we just needed to press a button inside the car that looked like a dashcam. No one told us about this, which caused a significant delay in our trip. We had to use the car key to unlock the car every time we opened it, which was very inconvenient. Also, don't drive a big car in Milan! They switched us to an SUV, which became a burden instead.

It's fine, quite serious.
