This was my first time renting a car abroad, and the experience was fantastic. The car was very new, with less than 7000 kilometers driven. It was a hybrid with great power, easily handling the slopes of Taormina, and even had a hill descent control feature. Quite easy to operate.

The service was excellent. They even had a big dog there. The staff were very accommodating and, after asking about the number of passengers and luggage, provided a larger car. Make sure the English address on your driver's license translation can be found on Google Maps to avoid delays.

The service was excellent! The car's trunk can fit one 30-inch suitcase and one bag, for your reference. This car is commonly seen in Europe.

1. The vehicle return process was made exceptionally painful and time consuming in that (a) Pisa airport signage is very poor in terms of guiding you to the car rental return location; and (b) the SicilybyCar return process out in 30C + heat was manned by only one very willing but very very overwhelmed staff member. Tempers were seriously frayed and I’m not sure how the staff member in question was able to remain calm under intense verbal pressure. 2. Found out at check in that the excess elimination insurance that I bought worked in an unusual way in That I would have to pay Sicily by Car up to €1600 and then reclaim that somehow or other from Easyrentcar or the insurer direct. This should be brought out in BOLD type in your terms and conditions as it is most unusual in my frequent experience of renting vehicles
