The counter staff in Bologna went above and beyond to help us and were very helpful and understanding! The staff in Rome were very efficient.

The Customer Service Chat is a great feature it’s very helpful.

We were given a considerably bigger people carrier, in fact it was a mini-van. It was parked outside the compound in a dark street and we picked up at night. In daylight, we discovered that the sliding back window’s locking and closing mechanism was broken. We immediately contacted Autovia and their response was extremely unsympathetic: by phone they told us no alternative car could be supplied; by email they told us that we had already signed that the car was in good order. So we were left with a vehicle, one of whose windows did not properly close or lock, something which had been hidden to us in the dark of the night. In other words, we were left with a vehicle that could easily have been broken into and risked any baggage we left in the vehicle, which had an impact on our holiday.

Do not rent from Ecovia/Autovia. I picked up the car at the airport, drove it to a gated residence, and parked it and didn't drive it again until I returned the car to the airport. When I returned the car, they found a "scratch" on the Back of the mirror and Ecovia wants to charge me about $160. This is a ridiculous and frivolous charge. First, it was late at night, dark and rainy when I picked up the car. I did a cursory inspection of the vehicle but who checks the back of the mirror for scratches? No American company would charge you for this. Just look at the attached picture ! I'm sure the scratch was already on the car when I picked it up because it was parked undisturbed in a garage at a residence. Maybe I was penalized for not purchasing their insurance. I appealed the charge to Ecovia/Autovia to no avail. The other practice that this company did was to give me the car with the tank 2/8ths full of gas. When this happens, the customer Always returns the car with more gas because he/she does not want to be charged. The customer deserves a car with a full tank of gas at pick-up. Start-up rental companies like Ecovia with unethical practices like this should be avoided. They drive you to the major car rentals where you know you will pay more but they won't try to screw you like Ecovia is doing to me. The low price isn't always a good deal. It bothers me that this company is getting away with screwing me on such a frivolous charge. Just look at the picture. I will not rent from Ecovia again. Buyer beware of Ecovia/Autovia!

Like: The vehicle was clean and in good condition. In addition, it had both GPL and benzine capabilities so we saved using GPL.
Dislike: We had to turn in the vehicle already washed. In addition, every little scratch gets recorded on case more scratches appear. We were careful and returned the vehicle in great condition, but some scratches should be considered normal wear and tear. Larger and more notable scratches may be worthwhile annotating, but not the small door dings and similar scratches.
