Extremely bad. A terrible car rental experience where I was forced to pay for various super insurance fees. I had already paid for basic insurance during the rental, but after returning the car, an additional 13,000 RMB was deducted for various super insurance and miscellaneous charges. This car rental company, AVIS, is highly deceitful. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this company as they are essentially scammers. They exploited our lack of knowledge in Italian, guiding us to sign contracts we couldn’t understand, forcing us to pay for unnecessary super insurance. Very disappointing. The other car rental companies I’ve used before did not charge such fees. Please learn from this painful lesson and avoid renting from this company. Even filing a claim proved nearly impossible to resolve because the rental company made us sign incomprehensible Italian contracts. This left us unable to pursue legal action, leading to a very frustrating and costly experience.

We initially booked the rental car on Zuzuche for 1,375 euros, but when we got to Rome to pick up the car, they said we needed to pay extra because there were two drivers, raising the price to over 1,600 euros. We accepted that. During the trip, our car window was smashed by thieves, and when we returned the car to the Madrid Avis location, they charged us 480 euros for the repair, which we also accepted. However, Avis ended up charging us a total of 2,357 euros, at least 200 euros more than expected, and there was no way to dispute it.

Very good

Although there were only 4 people in line, the service was extremely slow. I overheard conversations about upgrades, insurance, and vehicle changes. Compared to car rentals in Germany, Switzerland, the USA, and Japan, the efficiency here is too low. Many unnecessary discussions that should be avoided.

AVIS and Budget share the same counter. There were quite a few people picking up cars at Rome airport, and I waited for almost an hour. The car was in good condition, and returning it was even easier. Since the fuel was used up, the return desk just took the keys and signed off, and we were good to go. Very convenient.
