Booked an Alfa Romeo or similar, received a Volkswagen Gold, car was ok no issues to report, seemed to use a lot of fuel but otherwise ok, was a very basic model. But it was what I booked so can't complain.

Great app, prices need to be lower compared to other booking companies.

The Main problem was at the Airport. The Interrent pick up was advertised as being on site and Interrent supposedly shared an office with Europ car. In fact Interrent do not share with Europ car, and the pick up location is off site and has to be reached by a shuttle bus, which I specifically didn't want to do. The car hire aspect once at the office was pretty good & the car was fine and quite new. Drop off was very effecient.

Long queue to collect the car and only one lady on the desk so it look a long time, but she was friendly and helpful.

There were a lot of hidden costs that we were not informed about upfront, including a mandatory €1000 deposit if we didn't pay out for the extra insurance cover, and a €102 fuel deposit (which is more fuel than will even fit in a Fiat 500). Staff also didn't tell us about these costs in one go, even when directly asked 'what is the total we will have to pay'. This created a really negative experience for us and impacted on a lot of our holiday plans. It seemed like this was intentional, a way of forcing people into paying money without giving them the full information in advance, and it felt like we were being scammed. It was also contrary to the information that we received from our broker, Easyrentcars.com, which advised that we could be charged a maximum deposit of up to the equivalent of $500, meaning that we were missold this car hire deal. In future I will avoid Interrent and recommend that others do also.

Like: The car I ended up renting was a completely different car from the one I rented and so my price ended up more than double of what I payed through the website ... that said, I fell in love with Fiat 500 convertible.. I found parking everywhere I needed it. And I loved driving in the mountains with the roof of!!
Dislike: The massive attempt to make me buy more insurance and I felt pressured into upgrading to a different car.
