Cheap and very cheerful

I advise not to rent from this company, although the prices are attractive. Between 8 p.m. and 8 p.m., a € 35 surcharge is requested to pick-up or bring the car. This while they advertise as a rental company for Faro Airport! Picking up after 8 p.m. is a real problem because they have 1 employee at the office. In my case there was a waiting time for more than an hour and a half. They give me a different car than ordered and the car was parked in a dark corner and the gas tank was not full. The car had to be inspected in the dark, so that a small scratch on the bumper was not noticed. When returning the car a few days later, the employee immediately walked up to the almost invisible scratch on the bumper and said that this would cost € 215,-. There was nothing to argue against this because the damage was not mentioned on the form! The car rental for 5 days actually came to € 300. It's better to rent at a famous brand such as Herts or Europcar, to prevent disappointments afterwards

Diffcultés de récupération du véhicule. Aucune aide de personnel. Problème administratif . Solution trouver au bout de 2h. Personnel non chaland . Pas agréable . un regret d’avoir choisi surprice rent a car. Difficultés de communication avec le personnel faisant mine de ne pas comprendre.

Worst experience in the past 10 years. I was refused to pay by debit card and given no option but to buy again the insurance at double the price I already paid online- €15/day because I didn't have a credit card. Charged an out of hours fee for dropping off the car before 8:00. Pushed into hiring a tag for motorway at €1.85/day when I had to pay the tolls anyway and could have done without it as you could pay with cash or card at pay points. I felt bullied and ripped off. Only had a Toyota Aygo with no cruise control, no parking sensors no key remote lock, but I paid the price for a large premium car. Never ever will use this company nor reccomend to anyone.

The booking was all right- all good and thank you for all the options and smoothness of the booking.

Only comment is as the rental office is off airport need clear direction /assistance on how get car back to rental site and useful if client asks for help on arrival for onward travel. Staff were not helpful, I was told there was sat nav in the car , but found it a nightmare to use and I had no proper address for return journey to input . Something as simple as having the rental site saved as a favourite on the sat nav ? Or if client has address for onward location , shown how to use dat nav if going to use it when travelling ...It dies cause me some worry while I was away ., but good car , price and general service. It has made me think I’d rather have an on-site pickup at airport , no stress on getting lost and motorway fines.

I was expecting to rent a Mercedes Vito but I was disappointed when we were given a Renault minibus not what I had paid for. And the van was not in great condition.
