Less problematic than expected - eg didn’t find “hidden” damage on return!!

The staff where putting pressure on us spending more money on all sorts. This was not said when we booked. We ended up paying 171.95 Euros, was disgusting as we had our own insurance they said it didn't cover but it 100% did. As they said they didn't understand my argument they said is this amount or nothing. Then they charged huge amount on the credit card which I still wait to get back. Awful would never book again. We book cars at least 10 times a year and this was the worst yet due to adding money on top.

Well, first of all they never answered the phone when we tried to call to inform them that our flight had been changed and that we would arrive earlier. So when we actually arrived, they were not quite happy. Still, we got the car. But then, they asked for a credit card, which we had, but didnt want OUR credit cards so they made us pay an insurance to cover the "risk" of not having a credit card. Anyways, the car was fine and we were pretty satisfied with it. Just the employees were a bit off.

Hired a Seat Ibiza or similar - received a Toyota Yaris, which is more of a budget model than I would have expected. The car was brand new though so that was a plus. Initial pickup was fine, but car was experiencing major faults when idling - twice the engine fully cutting out at busy roundabouts. Decided car was not fit to drive so once we finally got the car going again we drove back to the pickup point. Service centre were very quick to identify a loose battery connection, and also told us (then!) as to a trick with the Yaris that needs a double-pump of the clutch. Can't fault the service staff, as quickly resolved the issue. Annoying not to be told about the clutch particular though, as that should have been mentioned at collection of the car. Car was ok for the rest of the trip. Most annoying part has been communication with the head office since, where I have asked for some compensation to cover fuel and road tolls we incurred as a result of going back to the collection point to have the car fixed. Very little understanding and no empathy whatsoever. Really disappointed with this and won't recommend this company as a result.

Had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for pick up of shuttle bus and depot about 10 mins from airport and difficult to fined when returning car We were charged another 35 euros as they said we were late but when booking the car rental we stated pick up time 8.00pm and we were there at 7.50pm and suttle bus didn't arrive till 8.05pm also told if we used the toll bridge by mistake we would be charged another 35 euros other car rental companies would just charge us the toll bridge charges so we will not be hiring from Surprice again

It was a very pleasant surprise not to be given the hard sell for insurance and for that reason alone I would use them again.
