SURPRICE RENT A CAR CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Very satisfied, fast paperwork processing, convenient vehicle inspection, and all precautions were clearly explained.

During the peak summer season, AVIS showed no available cars for rent, but we managed to find one here, which wasn’t easy. Before leaving Milan Airport, we contacted the rental company, and they said they would send a car to pick us up and take us to the rental point, saving us the hassle of dragging our big bags there ourselves. At the pickup point, we discovered that AUTOONE and SURPRICE were operating together. When we later received the confirmation email, it was under AUTOONE’s header, so I guess they are sister companies. There were two staff members handling the procedures on-site. We waited about ten minutes before it was our turn to process the rental. After adding full insurance and paying for cross-border driving at the counter, we received a car slightly larger than the one we had reserved—a white SEAT Arona. The whole pickup process took about ten minutes. (Unfortunately, the later survey options didn’t allow us to select the actual car we got.) For the return, since we had full insurance, as long as the tank was full, they quickly verified the vehicle and completed the return process.

During the busy summer season, AVIS showed no cars available, but we managed to find one here, which wasn’t easy. Before leaving Milan Airport, we contacted the rental company by phone, and they kindly sent a car to pick us up and take us to the rental location, saving us the trouble of carrying our luggage ourselves. Once we arrived, we found that AUTOONE and SURPRICE shared the same location. Later, when we received a confirmation email, it was under AUTOONE’s name, so they’re probably sister companies. There were two staff members processing rentals on site, and we only waited about ten minutes before it was our turn. After confirming the addition of full insurance and cross-border usage fees at the counter, we were given a car slightly larger than the one we had booked. It was a white SEAT Arona. The entire process took about ten minutes. (Unfortunately, in the later selection options, we couldn’t choose the actual car model we received.) When returning the car, we had full insurance, so as long as the fuel tank was full, they quickly checked and completed the return process.

I rented a car from this company and extended the rental twice. During the first pickup, the female staff at the front desk was very friendly and professional, providing a car in excellent condition. The second extension was smooth as well, and I kept the same car. However, during the third extension, the front desk staff was an older gentleman who insisted on giving me a different car. It took over 20 minutes to switch to a car with less-than-ideal condition. On the third day of driving, the car's battery died after parking for two hours near the Acropolis. I contacted the rental company, and they sent someone (on a motorcycle) to jump-start the car. I immediately requested a battery replacement or a different car. After driving to the rental company's location near the airport, their technician claimed that the battery issue was my fault and asked me to pay for the replacement. After a 20-minute discussion during which my group strongly insisted, the company replaced the battery (which took only five minutes), and the car worked fine thereafter. Returning the car was the most tedious process I've ever experienced—various inspections were done repeatedly, causing the return process to take about 30 minutes. Overall, my experience was good, but there were issues with the attitude and methods of certain staff members.

Extremely poor!

The overall service was quite good.

Overall, very satisfied.

Terrible rental company, making money by exploiting damages on the car that you might overlook.

The rental company forced us to buy insurance, claiming my license is not an international one. It cost a total of 400 euros and included roadside assistance twice.

The staff was extremely unfriendly during the car pickup. They forced us to add a second driver's name and interrogated us about our entire trip, claiming we needed to pay over 15,000 RMB extra. When returning the car, they insisted there was a scratch under the door and casually wrote up a repair bill for 2,050 euros. Truly dishonest and unprofessional! We had no choice but to pay.

1. They made various excuses to refuse handing over the car, only to finally reveal that we were forced to buy their full insurance. Beware! Beware! Beware! 2. Booked a FIAT 500X or equivalent, but couldn’t find a single one in the entire depot. The first car they gave us was an Opel Mokka with visible collision dents all over, and the right front wheel arch was even damaged to the point of leaking air. How am I supposed to trust this car for long trips? 3. After switching to another Mokka in slightly better condition, they rented the same car to someone who arrived an hour later right in front of us... Are you kidding me? Who else should I complain about if not you? 4. This is a 100% shady business. If the rental platform continues to allow this company to deceive future customers, it might as well prepare to shut down for good.

From the moment I arrived at the rental company to return the car, I knew it was going to be trouble. The staff member, an Indian guy, took a large flashlight and started inspecting, claiming there was a scratch on the front bumper and asked me to provide the pick-up video. I said they should check their own footage, and after reviewing their video, they admitted the scratch was an old issue. Then they turned to the windshield, saying there were tiny sand marks. This is ridiculous—the car has 80,000 kilometers on it, and the video they took when handing the car over was so blurry that no damage could be discerned. Basically, if you don't buy their insurance, they'll look for reasons to charge you. I told them I had purchased comprehensive insurance on the platform and just asked them to proceed with the damage assessment and generate the bill. The staff member said it was too late to provide a quote and promised to send it via email the next morning. Four days after returning the car, there has been no update on the damage assessment. It's infuriating. I reported all these issues to Zuzuche, but they've been utterly unresponsive. They only sent a text saying I’ll be compensated about 80 yuan. What does this even cover? In conclusion, this company is nothing but fraudulent. It all boils down to the rental price being too cheap—a bait to lure you into booking, and then they push high-priced insurance or scam you on vehicle damage if you don't buy. Zuzuche, this is goodbye. Your platform is far inferior compared to others. I'm done with you.

I asked them several times to issue an invoice, but they still haven't done it. When I came to pick up the car, the Audi Q5 was not available. Instead, they gave me a very small and light Skoda. I was picking up my boss, and I needed a better car like the Audi Q5. After insisting, they finally agreed to change the car. It seems like there's forced consumption or upselling involved. Additionally, when you pick up the car, they tell you not to worry too much about small scratches and avoid taking photos. However, when you return the car, they thoroughly inspect it for minor scratches. If you don’t have photos as evidence, they might charge you for damages.

Convenient, simple pick-up and drop-off process, good service.

There were no issues with picking up or using the car. I rented it for just one day, so I didn't purchase their insurance and had a €1200 deposit held. The ridiculous part happened a day after returning the car when €98 was deducted from the deposit. I contacted customer service, and they explained it was a cleaning fee. When I returned the car, it was midday, and the staff mentioned it was the last shuttle before their break, so they rushed us off without properly inspecting the car. I then asked customer service for evidence of the car being dirty since we only rented it for a day, didn't drive through muddy areas, and absolutely didn't smoke or anything like that. It couldn't have been so dirty to warrant a €98 cleaning fee. The photos they eventually provided showed two small spots on the back seat, which made no sense because the two of us never even used the back seat. Finally, after almost two weeks of appealing to the Zuzuche (Car Rental Platform) customer service, they only refunded half of the charge. This whole experience was ridiculous. Here's a tip for everyone: make sure to inspect the car in person and do some cleaning before returning it.

Good

No one answered the phone when we tried to pick up the car, and we had to wait for two hours before getting the vehicle. During drop-off, their staff were not on-site, and we waited for half an hour for them to arrive, which delayed my check-in. Extremely poor service awareness and capability.

Amazing

Love you ur Sevices

The service was fine, and I met a Pakistani brother.
