SICILY BY CAR CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN ITALY

Satisfied

The car was in good condition and very new. There was no sales pitch during pickup, and the deposit was refunded quickly after drop-off.

Good service

Pretty good!

This car rental company provides professional service and great value for money. I will choose them again next time!

A brand-new car with 10,000 kilometers driven, no upselling, and both pick-up and return completed within 5 minutes.

Rome Termini train station is likely a major transportation hub, and by 8:40 in the morning, there were already many people in line for car pickup. We waited an hour for our turn. They had complete Hague certification, but the service staff strangely insisted on an international driving permit, which surprised us. It was different from what we had researched before. However, the staff members who handled the pickup and drop-off were very kind, and the car was excellent. The trunk could fit two 24-inch suitcases, two 20-inch suitcases, and still had extra space.

Renting a car at the Rome station was very easy to find. However, the pickup point required a bit of walking. Returning the car was straightforward; I just handed the keys to the staff without any unnecessary upselling or hassle. The journey went smoothly without any issues—a very pleasant car rental experience.

The car pickup was delayed by over 3 hours, but they upgraded our car model.

The booked car model was unavailable, so I was given an MG SUV with average condition. The return location on the map was incorrect, but it wasn’t a big issue. After circling around once, I managed to find it successfully.

Many car rental companies are located together. First, you need to get a ticket number and wait for a few turns, which took about ten minutes. Pretty quick. The staff on site were very friendly and didn't aggressively push insurance; they simply asked whether I had insurance, as driving on narrow mountain roads like those in Amalfi or Sicily might make it necessary. This time, they emphasized the need for an international driving license and mentioned that it could result in a fine if the police checked and you didn't have one, so it's important to take note for next time. After signing the waiver and acknowledgment form, the process went smoothly. Since I had reserved a Q5, a luxury car, they kindly asked to register my return flight details as well. It seems this requirement for an international driving license and return flight information is related to renting luxury cars; I didn't encounter this in other countries before. Just sharing this as a friendly reminder to others.

The car rental process was efficient, with no insurance upselling or unnecessary troubles, completed in just 5 minutes. Although I was given a car with multiple scratches, the return process was simple—just a quick check and signature to confirm, and the deposit was refunded instantly.

The rental company is excellent, the car is very new and in great condition, and the deposit fee is low, only 200 euros.

I booked a Peugeot 3008 but got an MG ZS instead. The car felt a bit small; fitting two 28-inch and one 24-inch suitcases was a bit tight, especially since my non-standard luggage is wider than usual (standard ones might fit lying down). Finding the car was straightforward, and returning it was also easy if you prepared well. We were over 20 minutes late returning the car, but there was no extra charge. There were no pushy sales tactics, the return inspection took only three minutes, and the process went smoothly. It's been over ten days since we returned home, and the deposit hasn't been charged, so overall, it was a pretty good experience.

The desired car model was unavailable, but they provided a new car instead, which was quite nice.

Overall very satisfied. I purchased the QEEQ full insurance, and there was no upselling at the rental company; they just handed over the keys for me to pick up the car. The car had some scratches and minor dents, but they did not affect normal driving. These issues were already noted at the counter when picking up the car, and there were no disagreements during the return process. There was only a minor issue: the day after picking up the car, the tire pressure warning light for the left rear tire came on. I contacted QEEQ, and they provided a solution and assisted in communicating with the rental company. Later, I drove to a nearby rental branch, where the staff briefly inspected the car and said it was fine to continue driving. Not wanting to disrupt my trip, I went on my way. However, the same fault warning reappeared. After a few days of driving, worried about a potential blowout due to tire pressure issues, I found a gas station with an air pump. I inspected and adjusted the tire pressure myself, changing it from the irregular values of 4/4/4/2.1 to the standard 2.5/2.5/2.5/2.5. The warning light finally turned off. However, on the day before returning the car, the same tire pressure warning came on again, meaning the left rear tire likely had a minor air leak. This experience pushed me to learn how to handle tire pressure issues myself—so, in a way, it was a small adventure.

This was an excellent car rental experience, completely different from the various negative reviews seen online.

I saw online that some people mentioned this company aggressively promotes insurance, but luckily, I didn't experience any of that. During the entire rental process, they didn't push anything on me. I simply told them I had purchased full insurance through the platform. They even upgraded my car to a Volkswagen T-Cross. When returning the car, make sure to follow the GPS directions; otherwise, it's easy to miss the correct route. However, even if you make a wrong turn, Google Maps will guide you back in about five minutes, so there's no need to worry. There's a gas station near the return location, so refueling is convenient. Finally, when you arrive at the drop-off point and park the car in the designated spot, the staff will come over to inspect the car. After that, you'll just need to sign, and the process is done. Within about fifteen minutes, the pre-authorized deposit was returned to me. Overall, this car rental experience was fantastic!

Highly recommend Sicily by Car rental company for their excellent service and quick vehicle inspection process.

It seems to be a local Italian car rental company with very high ratings. The actual service was indeed excellent. The staff checking the car during return was very enthusiastic and completed the inspection quickly, allowing customers to return the car promptly.
