" A bit concerned that easycarhire is available on auto Europe. "
" On arriving to collect the car we were told by the staff that the extra insurance that we had taken out with auto Europe was not worth the paper it was written on. They then tried to sell us alternative insurance that totalled more than the rent of the car itself. We were very surprised by this and subsequently looked up Easycarhire reviews ro see if others had had the same experience. There were lots - all advising NOT to use easycarhire. Appears that many did end up taking the insurance and ten still had to fork out large excesses for a tiny scratch. Take care as the insurance appears to be bit of a company scam. Surprised auto Europe use this company. "

" Our experience was terrible: 1) At pick up, the staff pretended that we did not have any insurance, despite the fact that I took insurance. They said the insurance does not count in Italie, etc.. Only when I showed proof, did they back off. 2) At drop off, they said there was a small scratch on the alloy on one of the wheels and charged me 250 EUR. When we picked up the car, we pointed out this scratch and they said it was smaller than a coin and that this does not matter. But when we brought it back, they said it did matter and then charged me. This is unacceptable. The scratch was not made by us, and tiny. They cannot said when we pick up the car that it does not matter and use a different policy when we drop off the car. "

He was very aggressive and was shouting at me that I did not understand and was stupid if I thought I did not need it (all in perfect English despite answering the phone and saying to person on the end they did not understand English). On handing over the car to me they asked me to sign but I refused as I had not looked around it, they said they were busy and if I wanted to check it with them I would have to wait 30 minutes. I decided to take a video and photos of the car and signed the paperwork. Car had warning light on dashboard saying oil service overdue. On return they scrutinised the car and went into office, then came back 10 minutes later saying there was additional damage. I immediately disputed it and showed them the video and photos I had taken. They then made me wait another 10 minutes before agreeing it was already damaged on pick up.

Luckily, other rental companies were still open when we arrived so we hired a car elsewhere.

" Awful start to finish. They didn't accept Amex, which I can accept, although every other vendor I've ever used has accepted it. Then in order to continue with the hire they required us to pay for full insurance in order to use a debit card. Clearly they accepted debit card, and I had full insurance from Auto Europe, so it felt a bit like a money grab. When returning the car, they claimed we had caused a scratch (1cm in size) on the plastic alloy. We hadn't, and we'd paid additional insurance to cover damages. Additionally, they are trying to charge me €91 for having mud on the car as an 'unpaved roads fee'. This was simply down to mud on the roads due to recent heavy rainfall.

We had to walk a long way to find the car- it was dark and pouring with rain. We looked round the vehicle for damage and managed to spot 2 marks in the paintwork but visibility was poor. On return, the agent spent a long time examining the car and pointed out a small dent in a door which we hadn't noticed all week and a small blemish on the front bumper. We discussed these and the likely hood that they preexisted our rental. He agreed not to charge me for them but asked me to sign the form with them mentioned on it- he said for the office to upgrade the records. I did sign, which proved to be a big mistake, as 3 days after returning home, I received an email saying that I would be charged 443 Euros for the damage. The email included photos of the damage, but the bumper damage was a larger scratch to the side of the bumper and not the small blemish that had been pointed out to me.

" I am writing to let you know that Easycarhire (Pisa airport) seeks to apply different rules to those contained in our terms and conditions supplied by Autoeurope. Upon collecting our vehicle this evening, Easycarhire stated that the day of the return flight must coincide with the return of the hire car. In our case, our return flight occurs several days after our vehicle return. Easycarhire justified their request on the basis that the measure reduces any likelihood that the car will be stolen. In order to allow the hire to go ahead, they demanded that separate insurance would be taken out with them (85 EUR for 24 hours). Easycarhire was unable to produce any documentation in evidence of any change to our original terms and conditions as copied below. 'As part of the mandatory documentation required at pickup, customers must present a valid return flight ticket. If a return flight ticket cannot be provided, the rental agent reserves the right to deliver the vehicle only if the customer agrees to purchase locally the SCDW coverage product.' I would be grateful if you could clarify the terms and conditions with Easycarhire to prevent future customers facing the same frustration that we faced this evening. Either your terms should be updated or Easycarhire should cease this poor practice with immediate effect. "

He refused that and just said this is a problem he cannot overcome. I went to the main office at the returns site to seek assistance to be told that it was nothing to do with them and it was up to the guy who was checking the car in to decide what to do. No one would give me their names so unfortunately I cannot give them to you. if you need more detail do contact me "

" Scam artists who invent hidden fees when someone does not have a credit card that they accept. I arrived with my AMEX, they did not accept it so decided to charge 200 euros to my debit card to cover "risk of damages". In case I had a credit card they would have charged 1,500 as a deposit do why not just charge that amount on a debit card and return it at the end? Very predatory methods and would strongly recommend autoeurope stops recommending them on their website. The reviews speak for themselves. "

" Easyrent office staff unprofessional. I had a problem with my credit card and could not pay with it, I offered AMEX which they refused. I offered my wife's credit card, they stated they could only accept a credit card in the name of the driver. I offered to pay the full deposit EUR 700 with a debit card, they did not accept it. Finally I had to take their insurance for the duration of the booking, approx. 12 days and had to pay an extra EUR 300 approx. which is daylight robbery. The car was completely dented and had dirty windscreen and rear window, we could get rid of the grime and had bad visibility. This company is fraudulent, do not ever book with them, they will somehow get you. "

" I was not aware that AutoEurope was a third party rental company. As such we ended up renting from EasyCar, which was not at the airport as we thought when searching for a rental company. Looking at the reviews of EasyCarHire online, I would never have chosen to rent from them, as we had the experience with them. It is appalling that customers are unwittingly sent to them through AutoEurope. I am further appalled that the additional insurance I purchased was invalid, and would request a refund for the insurance I paid for that was useless. please advise how I can proceed with this. "
" I had a very poor experience with Easycar Hire. On collecting the car, we were pressured to buy additional insurance, saying that the additional insurance I purchased with AutoEurope was not valid as they are a third party. This was 140 Euro for 5 days, double the cost of the car rental costs. On returning the car, we were accused of losing the "hat rack" aka parcel shelf - this had been incorrectly marked as present by your staff, however it was not present and we did not have it when we collected the car. We did not comment about this at the time, also because in English we do not call it a "hat rack", but a "parcel shelf" or "boot/trunk shelf". Frustratingly we did not have photographic evidence of this either. On returning the car, the male staff checking the vehicle was very rude in their discussion with me about the absence of the hat rack, accusing us of losing it, and saying that we would have to pay for a replacement, and that it would not be covered by the extra insurance that we took out. We then had to wait 20mins whilst they checked their computer system to then see that they had never provided the hat rack, that it had been lost in a previous rental, and this was an administrative error. The male staff did not apologise for this error - neither for accusing us of losing it, nor for being rude, or making us wait. He instead laboriously pointed out the small damage on the wheel trim - a 2cm scratch next to many other older scratches. It felt very much like he was intent on finding any possible error to charge us additional costs. I do not recall this damage happening but will not deny that it is there. I have since been charged an additional 80 Euro. However the attitude of the staff was unacceptably rude, again saying that there will be a further cost for this damage not covered by the insurance, resulting in a poor end to our car hire experience and holiday. We did not see any other renters experiencing a similar attitude from the staff, and another renter who had seen the exchange when they were returning their vehicle commented that they also noticed that the staff member was unnecessarily rude to us - we were two women, it felt like sexism.

I was told I would have full protection but I was clearly and rudely told by the car hire company that i didn't have that protection.... I don't think if I am paying for full protection for peace of mind that I should be put into that very stressful position. "
" Counter staff member was chewing gum and over familiar. He was aggressively selling their own insurance despite the fact I had booked and payed for the full damage and theft protection from Autoeurope!! My wife is a fluent Italian speaker and we have used Autoeurope for many years . We were told we had No insurance !! And the counter staff member would not listen to anything we said and dismissed my paper copy of the contract. The pick up staff were more helpful but they had no electricity in the office and couldn't provide a copy of the car condition showing some damage so I had to take a photograph of it ! The dashboard screen was showing a fault saying "contact your dealer "!! I was assured not to worry about that !! I reluctantly accepted the car after taking photographs of all faults. The car did not cause any problems and the return was fine despite my stressful earlier experience. "

" Even though I'd purchased insurance through Auto Europe, and have car rental insurance through my travel insurance, the desk staff tried to insist I spend €300 on EasyCarHire insurance. I declined, so they put a charge on my credit card, even threatened that "this is Sicily, you really should pay for the insurance, or if any thing happens we'll take €2,000 Euro from your card". They also insisted I used visa and wouldn't accept Mastercard. The desk pickup took well over 45 minutes, all because of the desk staff delaying, trying to coerce me to buy additional insurance I didn't want or need, and refusing any card that wasn't Visa credit.

The car collection experience was frustrating, embarrassing, irksome and highly pressurised to purchase more. Their frustrations at having to converse in English was evident to all around. We expected more tolerance and patience from a company supposedly used to dealing with non Italian speaking tourists. The pricing structure is grossly misleading as well and should be clearer from the point of sale. "
" The reception team at the airport when we collected the car were rude and inpatient.

" I want to raise a complaint following a car rental through Auto Europe and Easycarhire, from the 3rd - 7th October 2024. We booked a car rental through Auto Europe for our recent trip to Pisa for a wedding and was greeted at the Easycarhire rental desk by a woman at 9:30pm Thursday 3rd October 2024. Upon producing all documents, Drivers Licence and Credit card for the booking the woman returned the credit card stating that they could not accept credit cards with an expiration date within 3 months time. I then produced the email from Auto Europe stating that a credit card must be used for a deposit, which had nothing to state that the expiry of the credit card had to be after 3 months from the current date, all it said that was credit or debit cards could be used. I then produced an AMEX card to be used for the deposit hold, to which she rudely replied "we don't accept AMEX cards" - again, no mention anywhere on your site or booking that this was the case. We then had a friend travelling with us who offered to use their credit card for the deposit, and was again met with a rude response from the desk assistant that we couldn't use any credit card not owned by the named driver. After a frustrating exchange and again very rude and unhelpful service from the desk attendant, she said the only option would be to use a debit card, to which we had no other choice. She did forget to mention that in order to use a debit card we would have to pay a deposit of €515 on top of the €70 we had already paid for the car and fully comprehensive insurance. She then stated that we would received €300 back from the deposit, but that €215 would be to cover the "insurance" of the deposit. What I could not believe that was for a €70 car hire for 4 days, that we then had to pay an extra €215 for "insurance" for using a debit card, when in none of your terms or email correspondence about credit cards, did it mention that one of your suppliers would not accept an AMEX card or that the credit card had to be in my name and with an expiry date after 3 months from the date. This is clearly a scam to allow ECH to charge considerably more on the car rental than initially paid for/offered, which is a shocking and unprofessional way to do business. We are frustrated that a business such as Auto Europe works with suppliers such as these, that clearly scam people going on vacation out of money that was saved and needed for the holiday. The experience which took over 1hr to complete was a shocking start to our holiday, made worse by the lack of assistance and rude nature of the assistant at EasyCarHire. I am a very reasonable person who has hired cars in many different European countries, and have never experienced service or such a clear process to scam people as this. I would hope that given Auto Europe is a reputable international company that you would help to resolve this issue now we have returned from the holiday. "

In 20 years, I have never experienced anything like this. "
" I had to wait for 2 hours in a queue to reach the counter staff. From talking to customers after they concuded their business, this was because the counter staff were doing a hard sell on excess insurance. When customers said they did not want to buy excess insurance, it appears they were given horror scenarios of what could happen, until they agreed to buy the excess. When it came to my turn, again there was the hard sell despite me telling the counter staff that I had alreday bought excess insurance prior to coming to Italy. I stood my ground as I have driven in Italy for 20 years, with excess insurance always bought before hand. In the end the counter staff person gave up and completed the paperwork for the car. This really was not a good experience on the first day of our holiday particularly as I had been up at 1.00 am in order to catch my flight to Pisa. Also, when I went to pick up the car, it had been standing in a temperature of 40 degrees and as such, it took an hour of driving in sweltering conditions before the air conditioning would work. "

" We were charged EUR 100 because I didn't have an international certificate for my US driving license. I've rented cars in Sicily many times in the past and this has never been a problem. We paid it because our trip depended on it. The model of vehicle they gave us was poor and it was not in a great state. They took 10 minutes to detail all of the damage on the car. We were waiting for the next way we were going to be charged.

We had to wait for 2 hours to be seen , in the mean time the reservation expired so we had to convince the people on the counter that we had been there for 2 hours. Delay was caused by people behind the counter pushing Excess insurance to every customer and you could tell that every customer was upset and deeply dissatifsfied.

" The autoeurope experience was fine but the supplier I will never use again and I would recommend AE to use a different vendor in Catania "
" The counter staff indicated that the extra endurance I brought through auto Europe was not sufficient and that I need their insurance. This obviously was incorrect but did cause me some stress and the need to clarify this with your customer services team. Additionally I booked the car for collection at 10pm and was not informed that after 10pm there was a considerable out of hours charge of an £60 when collected at 10:01! This I believe is a shortcoming on Autoeurope's side and you should not give prices that don't realistically reflect the final charge and should include a buffer of 1 hour for such eventuality. The fact that the rental company were in full swing after 10pm would indicate this is yet another scam on their part and autoeurope should think carefully about being associated with vendors like Easycarrental!

" On the T&C's it says "please ensure you have a photo ID and a valid and full national driver's license held for a minimum of 2 years (in case of a UK photo-card licence the card and paper counterpart)". I have a valid and full UK driving licence but not a photo-card. It does not say I have to have the photo-card, just that if I do have it then I have to have both the card and paper counterpart. I read these terms before leaving and was not worried as it does not say I have to have the card, however, on arrival at the desk they would not accept my licence with passport as photo ID and cancelled the booking. They also would not accept my husbands photo card and paper licence to be an additional driver and said he would have to make a totally new booking which was twice the price we'd already paid so we had to lose the original booking and the payment we'd already made for that booking.

" Website was easy to use and I did contact Auto Europe once I had booked the car and extra insurance just to make sure I was covered and for reassurance before arriving in Sicily. The chap I spoke to was very informative and reassured me that I wouldn't need any other insurance. He also said if I needed I could call whilst at the airport. So yes very happy with the service given. "
" It wasn't obvious where to find the ECH desk but once I did the lady that served me was very efficient and chirpy until the dreaded hard sell of extra insurance cover for €200! I had spoken with Auto Europe and taken out their top cover and spoken to them just to make sure I was covered. The lady at ECH was very assertive and was very good at making me question my Auto Europe cover saying I wasn't covered with their cover and if I have an accident or breakdown I will be charged thousands!!! So once I managed to leave with my paperwork she pointed me with the instruction of just go straight out of the door and you'll see where the car is. It took me a further 10 mins and asking another hire company before I found the car. No obvious sign! The lady at the car pick up area was friendly and walked around the car pointing out all the small marks etc before handing the keys. It was hard to properly check the car as it was very dusty. I did as suggested by other reviews to photograph and video the car inside and out. On my return I found it rather stressful trying to find the drop of. Again no obvious sign! I think I drove round the airport a couple of times, caused a little by having to reverse out of a car park entrance!! Finally found the drop off and was met by a pleasant chap who checked the car over. He pointed out a very small scuff on the passenger side front bumper. Thankfully it could be seen on my photos but he did go into the office and on return said that the mark had been missed off the paperwork! So an ok ish experience if not a little stressful unfortunately. "

" I have used Autoeurope many times without issue, but my bad experience with this hire firm has tainted my opinion of Autoeurope and massively reduced my trust in hiring through you. Please consider removing this firm from your listings. "
" Worst car hire experience i have ever had. This is the type of company that gives the car hire industry a bad name. The hire cost ended up being ten times the original price as I was forced to buy their insurance at over £100 (for 5 days!), and they charged me another 200 euros for two extremely minor points of damage, one of which was already on the market when I picked it up, and one of which was a very, very small and barely visible mark which was obviously from bring tapped by another car door in a car park. The car I was given had multiple areas on damage on pickup, including quite a bad dent on the front passenger door, so they are clearly just collecting money from customers and not actually getting the cars repaired. The whole setup just smacks of a scam and I wish I had hired from a more reputable company. I also wish I'd checked their reviews online as - predictably enough - they are terrible. The customers in front of me on returning the car were also clearly being stung for an inch long mark on a hub cap, so it seems to be their company policy to just bleed customers for all they can. In short, I absolutely DO NOT recommend this company and suggest that they should be removed from Autoeurope. "

" It's cheap because they look to claw back money on the excess. "
" The pick-up took a long time because very little of the info provided to Auto Europe was passed to Easycarhire. The drop-off included the Easycarhire staff combing over the car looking for any reason to raise a charge on us. She found the tiniest mark on a wing mirror which even her boss said didn't count. clearly this is how they make their money! "

" Very poor condition car and an absolute rip-off charge for a very minor repair ( a similar touch-up to an alloy in the U.K. cost me £45 not €261). Do not use this company. "
" The car was covered in scratches, dents and scuffs. Unfortunately I put a tiny scuff on one of the alloy wheels and the company are trying to charge me an exorbitant €261 for its repair. Apart from the cost what angers me most is that judging by the poor condition of the car it is obvious that if I pay the charge they will do nothing to carry out the repair. I will never use this company again. "

" It was appalling. Arriving late at night to be refused a car for a destination where the car was essential and the refusal to accept my UK full paper licence and Regus to transfer the car to a second driver. Being charged an extortionate amount for a replacement car for one of my party to drive. A rip off "
" I was unable to pick up the car as they would not accept my paper licence. I therefore had no car from you. I have written to ask for a refund. Arriving late at night to be refused a car. Not being able to transfer the booking to another member of the party and then having to do a completely new booking. Appalling. I will never use this company again "

" No email confirmation of car return received this time. Last hire I believe I received email on day of return. "
" Excellent service. It was a little difficult to find the car & to return it at 5am was difficult as there are no signs showng where collect or where to park the returned cars either, if I had been told that the cars were in Herz car park that would have been easier.... Excellent car & very happy to use again. "

" Good selection of choices. "
" Was slightly nervous as had never heard of the company and many of the smaller companies had bad reviews regarding being charged for damage, hard sell of insurance etc, but pleased to say everything was fine. Car was fairly new, clean and in good condition. Staff were friendly and helpful. "

" Car was lovely and clean & drove well. The man at the pick up point communicated really well. When I dropped the car off he pointed out a small a small scratch on the wheel hub & persuaded me I must have caught a kerb when parking. He didn't make me want to argue he was so civil. "

" Easycarhire had no signage at parking area. They had no cabin at car park. Very difficult to find. "
" Every time in Italy they try to deceptively tell clients one is not fully insured and attempt to sell again. As I pressed the girl for a reason why she admitted I was but in an accident I'd have to pay them and reclaim from Autoeurope. So I was correct. This behaviour should be stopped. An elderly couple next to me fell for this scam "
