CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON SURPRICE RENT A CAR AT FARO AIRPORT, FAO

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.

The car had a lot of scratches but I took pictures and they were efficient in checking it was all ok.

La voiture était propre. Seul probleme est que j'ai mentionné un dommage sur la voiture lorsque je l'ai prise, je l'ai inscrite sur le document de l'agence mais pas sur le mien et par conséquent lors du retour de la voiture, l'agence m'a facturé le dommage.

Explanation of where the pick point was, could have been better

Voiture état neuve mais pas celle qui était prevue à la base

The car was due a service and the driver airbag didn’t work. Car wasn’t safe to drive.

I booked a Mercedes and got a Peugeot On return we went to the drop of point and it was closed. Someone turned up and as the transport was full as more families were waiting. I told the company I will drive my full van to the airport as I would of had to wait another 30 minutes. Also the wipers had a massive RIP in the middle so every time I wiped the window I had to use a towel so I could see My score is less than yours will never use again

As above

Waited about 2 hours to get car

The car was new but the gear box had been clearly ragged about and reverse was easy to slip in to, few marks and scuffs but generally a good, large estate. The baby child seat that we paid over €50 for the week was useless. It was not secure using seatbelts and it was well used, it had no isofix base. The shuttle on collection did not have a car seat either and my baby had to sit on my knee. The pick up process was slow and painful. On both occasions (pick up and drop off) I heard many complaints about extra charges. We were also charged extra as the credit card was in my partner’s name and we had to add her as a driver, even though the t&c’s said if the cc was in the name of someone else, further ID may be required. Overall I think I will pay more in the future for collection at the airport, Surprice clearly need more staff and a smoother more streamlined pick up process.

Booking was very easy. Cancellation and price watch was simple and beneficial. I will use easyrentcars.com again

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

The company is not at the airport, it's hard to find, and you have to wait for the person renting the car. The deposit is very high.

Great car and a quick handling service when we get the car. But it was a shame that when the car was returned, the petrol meter was broken and that the lady of the rental company did not believe that the tank was full. She didn't want to see the receipt, while the gas station is across the street from this rental company. It still feels annoying how the handing went. I had to go back to the station to refuel the tank so that it overflowed ;-(

Getting to the pick up location was difficult. We had specified that we wanted a car that was at the airport, not offsite. This was disappointing and added an hour to the pick up time. There were not many signs, and only a small shuttle from the airport which meant a long wait. Once there, there was many additional costs that were not outlined in the original rental. Including a €35 fee for late pick up, which was really the company’s fault for taking so long to shuttle all the customers. Staff at the check in desk were rude, and short tempered when we asked them to repeat the details of the overage charges. They must understand in their line of work there will be a language barrier. The car itself was great, but would never rent from this company again. It ended up being just as much if not more than renting from a nicer company in the airport terminal, and not worth wasting time with rude staff and lugging bags across the airport.

dirty windows, inside, outside. dirty car.

This is the second time we have rented through Surprice Rent A Car and we really like their friendly staff and ease of pick up and drop off. It's very stress free. We will use them again.

Great booking platform always finds us good deals.

La voiture était de bonne qualité, cependant on vous laisse avec des pneus sous-gonflés (le voyant s'allume donc peu de temps après) et dans la réserve au niveau de l'essence. Nous avons eu du mal à trouver le lieu de récupération de la voiture, sachant que c'était une navette qui nous emmenait au lieu réel de récupération (6-7 min de route). Nous avons mis une heure et demie ensuite au guichet pour finaliser les démarches (problèmes de communication, caution ÉNORME de 1875 euros pour le véhicule qui nous a fait dépasser notre plafond bancaire et donc ne faisait pas fonctionner la carte !). Déçus.

Le site a parfaitement fonctionné pour la réservation du véhicule, les prix sont très abordables, aucune difficulté dans mes démarches. Je recommande.

The store's efficiency is very low, it took a long time to pick up the car.

35€ supplémentaires à payer parce que voiture récupérée après 20h. montant jamais indiqué lors de la réservation. Attente sur le parking de l'aéroport de Faro pour la navette qui amène chez SURPRICE et pris qu'au bout de la 2ème, donc 35€ parce que pas sur place à l'aéroport aussi non précisé lors de la réservation.
