During the peak summer season, AVIS showed no available cars for rent, but we managed to find one here, which wasn’t easy. Before leaving Milan Airport, we contacted the rental company, and they said they would send a car to pick us up and take us to the rental point, saving us the hassle of dragging our big bags there ourselves. At the pickup point, we discovered that AUTOONE and SURPRICE were operating together. When we later received the confirmation email, it was under AUTOONE’s header, so I guess they are sister companies. There were two staff members handling the procedures on-site. We waited about ten minutes before it was our turn to process the rental. After adding full insurance and paying for cross-border driving at the counter, we received a car slightly larger than the one we had reserved—a white SEAT Arona. The whole pickup process took about ten minutes. (Unfortunately, the later survey options didn’t allow us to select the actual car we got.) For the return, since we had full insurance, as long as the tank was full, they quickly verified the vehicle and completed the return process.

It was quite good, no queues upon arrival. The process started immediately. I read in other reviews that there could be up to a 3-hour wait, but there wasn’t any. The prices were very cheap, and although they did try to sell insurance, you just need to tell them you don’t need it. The staff were also nice; they understood we didn’t need the insurance and didn’t push further. I didn’t see any signs of racial discrimination as some reviews mentioned. Everyone finds their own car, and it seems like they don’t have many staff in the first place. The cars given out were all SUVs; the person before me, who was white, got the same. The deposit was 1200 euros, which was just a hold and not an actual charge; as long as the car was returned in good condition, the deposit was refunded directly. I was quite worried after reading the reviews, but everything went very smoothly, and the vehicle was also good.

The service staff's attitude was average. They tried to upsell full coverage insurance and an additional driver. The credit card pre-authorization was higher than estimated.

I really do not understand why collecting a rental car takes so long, if I find a provider that can greatly reduce the wait time then they will be my company of choice

Qeeq was excellent, no problems at all.
