ITALY CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

They barely tried to upsell anything, which I really appreciated.

They gave us a really new car with only about 8,000 km on it, no upselling at all, and the return process was super quick.

They even wrote everything out for us on a sheet of paper, going through each point like insurance coverage, fuel type, return time, and how much free delay was allowed. Our English isn’t great, but the way they explained it was really clear and easy to understand.

Very satisfied

The rental company’s service was great, and they explained everything really clearly.

No waiting in line, super quick process, and no hard sell on insurance.

Overall everything was great. The only weird thing was they insisted the driver’s own VISA card had to be used, and wouldn’t accept my friend’s even though we were traveling together as a couple. Pretty rigid policy. Luckily I had a Mongolian VISA card on me, but I still lost some money on the exchange rate. QEEQ’s service was absolutely excellent.

It’s been less than a week since we returned the car and so far there haven’t been any hidden charges, which is a relief. Just a heads-up: when you land in Milan, leave plenty of extra time. Our booking was for 3:00 p.m., but we spent almost 3 hours queuing at immigration, so we arrived to pick up the car 2 hours late. They then told us we had to pay an extra €162 to switch to another vehicle.

Got to the pickup location early but they wouldn’t let me take the car in advance, even though I’d already chosen the earliest pickup slot for that branch. No idea why they had cars at the airport but still wouldn’t release one before my time. Ended up sitting there for about an hour before I finally got the car. That said, the staff were actually really nice – no hard selling, no hidden fees. When returning the car, I had to park in a parking garage and it was already after closing time, so the key drop box was pretty hard to find. I had to ask people in a local supermarket and staff from other rental companies before I figured out where to leave the car and keys, but once I got there the return itself was quick and hassle-free.

Pickup was just outside Verona airport on the left when you exit. I first tried to use an embassy-certified translation of my license, but the counter said they needed an IDP “white booklet” (not the Chinese one, but looks like they prefer the white booklet, plus translation + notarization + apostille). I pulled up the official explanation from the embassy website and asked to speak with the manager; after they checked and searched, they made an exception and let us take the car. We got a Citroën Aircross, basically brand new with just over 6,000 km. It had a rearview camera, lane/speed/collision warnings, wireless charging, etc. No spare tire but there was a tool kit. The rental car lot roads and exit are quite narrow, so be extra careful when driving out. They didn’t push any extras, just asked if we wanted Telepass at €25 per day, and reminded us the car only came with basic insurance from the rental company (we’d bought full coverage separately on the platform). We paid the one-way drop-off fee on the spot. Overall, everything went pretty smoothly.

Not bad overall. They tried to sell me their own insurance, but once I told them I’d already bought coverage back home, they didn’t push it and just let it go.

Really good overall.

After they checked my booking details, the staff just briefly asked if I wanted any extra insurance, no hard selling at all. Then they handed me the keys and the pickup slip, explained the basics, and the whole process took barely ten minutes.

This was awesome! I got a BYD hybrid and a full tank took me about 1,200 km. With gas prices skyrocketing these days, that’s a total lifesaver!

They downgraded the car I booked, but to be fair the price for a compact was pretty cheap. In the past they were always out of cars and only offered paid upgrades, so this was a bit of a change.

They didn’t have the exact model I originally booked that day, so they gave me a Jeep Compass instead. The car was in really good shape and very clean. The front desk staff’s English wasn’t great and the accent was quite strong, but it was still basically okay to communicate. I had already bought extra insurance through Zuzuche, and they didn’t try to upsell anything. When returning the car, I just handed over the keys and they didn’t do any inspection on the spot, but the deposit was refunded pretty quickly afterwards. Not doing a walkthrough on return does feel a bit risky though—if something comes up later and they want to charge you, it’s hard to argue. Overall they seemed like nice people, just maybe not the most thorough in how they handle things…

Staff were really friendly and it was super easy to find.

At Catania Airport the rental area is easy enough to reach – if you arrive by train there’s a free shuttle, and even walking with suitcases is only about 200 meters. The location is big, with several brands all together. After the paperwork, though, there was no staff at the pickup area to walk us through the car – you just get in and drive off. Pay close attention to the fuel level: ours wasn’t completely full but we didn’t notice, so we filled it up on return and wondered why fuel cost so much for just a two‑day rental. Only then did we realize the tank wasn’t full at pickup, and we basically lost around 20€. Totally our fault for not checking the mileage and fuel carefully, so be careful about that. The car itself was a very new Škoda with good space and it was nice and easy to drive.

Got a brand-new Fiat, and both pickup and return were super smooth.

Service was pretty good overall.
