" I used Auto Europe to book a car for my trip, only to discover that the actual rental was handled by a third-party company I'd never heard of (Felirent). Despite contacting the supplier the night before to confirm pickup, my reservation was cancelled the next morning due to a delay--something that was never clearly stated in any of the booking documents. The lack of transparency around cancellation policies is unacceptable. Even worse, I tried reaching out multiple times via WhatsApp and email and received no response for days. This left me stranded and stressed during my holiday, forcing me to rent from another company at extra cost. Although I eventually received a refund, the experience was chaotic and poorly managed. Auto Europe needs to improve its communication, clarify its terms, and ensure its partners uphold basic customer service standards. I won't be booking through them again. "
" I recently booked a car hire through Auto Europe, unaware that the actual supplier was Felirent--a company I had never heard of. The night before pickup, I contacted Felirent to ask if I could collect the car early, but was told to return the next morning. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I arrived late the next day and was shocked to find my reservation had been cancelled. There was no clear warning in any of the booking documents that a delay would result in cancellation. I had made prior contact, yet this was completely disregarded. The lack of transparency around cancellation policies is unacceptable. To make matters worse, I received no response to multiple messages sent via WhatsApp and email. The silence added unnecessary stress to my trip, forcing me to scramble for an alternative rental at extra cost. Although I eventually received a refund, the experience was deeply frustrating and poorly handled. Auto Europe needs to improve its communication, clarify its policies, and ensure its partners uphold basic customer service standards. "

" I say very likely, but this is the second time I have rented a car with yourselves, where the under sills have been inspected. The last time was two years ago in Kefalonia. I have rented cars with Auto Europe for over 20 years. To be fair only two issues. But these issues have cost me money. I know I'm insured, and should receive my money back. But these are an inconvenience. If I ever have a repeat of questionable behaviour from a car rental company, I will cease to use you and just book direct with a reputable car rental company like Hertz. "
" On returning the vehicle, they scrutinised the car for over 15 minutes. They discovered two small scuffs on two alloys, and a dent under the sills??? and proceeded to charge me €541.00. Unfortunately I didn't take photo of alloys or the underside of the car when collecting. They also only supplied me with half a tank. How do you judge refuelling half a tank. I inevitably left three quarters. We then had to wait for the next car being scrutinised before being taken back to the airport. They spent less than 5 minutes scrutinising the next vehicle, who had also been given a car with a full tank???? I find their behaviour questionable. I had no accident, didn't curb the car, or misuse it. Would never use them again. "

" I wasn't able to pick up my car because although I had my debit card, I did not bring a credit card, even though AutoEurope had accepted my debit card when I booked and paid for the rental. So I lost all of the money that I paid. The requirement to provide a credit card was not mentioned prior to booking and only at the very, very end of a long rental voucher. What changes are AutoEurope planning to make to their process and documentation to ensure that the requirement to bring a credit card is appropriately messaged to your customers?

" Upon arrival at Milan Bergamo airport, we went to the area where car hire companies are based. We could not find Felirent. We were informed that we needed to take a shuttle bus but would need tto take a long walk to where the bus would be. We walked with all of our luggage and found the stopping point. We waited for 25 minutes before a rough and ready mini bus arrived. We were driven for about another 20 minutes. We needed to change our driver and were told that this was impossible. The receptionist was unhelpful and unpleasant. When I politely pressed him for more help, he suggested we go back to the airport and book with another company!!! We reluctantly got back on their shuttle bus back to the airport and went to the Avis counter who were very helpful and sorted out a car within 15 minutes. We were finally on our way. "

" We were not made aware that the location of the rental company was a 10 minute drive from the airport and not in the usual car park where the other car rental companies are located. We called the offices and we were instructed to wait at a roundabout where we would be picked up and taken to Felirent's location. After 15 minutes or so a driver arrived and took us to what can only be described as a drive across wasteland. Once we arrived we had to wait for the agent to allocate us a car, we had requested a Jeep and were given a Skoda. The drive out of the area was full of potholes and blind bends. We reached a junction where we had to take risks to join the highway, it was awful. When it was time to return the vehicle it took an hour(!) Where we had to start getting assertive due to our flight time. I had to ask for a lift back to the airport due to be ignored by the agents. It was very stressful as we had a flight to catch and the airport was very busy. Will never use Felirent again! "

" All staff were friendly and welcoming. Transfers to/ from the airport were efficient and took about 10-15 minutes. The car was as described, in excellent condition, and came with modern features. e.g. Android Auto, parking camera, parking sensors, lane monitoring, etc. Paperwork / admin took longer than expected (about 20 minutes, even though I had everything to hand), and required signing a document at lease seven times. The fuel tank wasn't quite as full as claimed. Returning the vehicle was smooth and efficient and no problems were encountered.

" Great deal and good quality car supplied. My only moan would be regarding the misinformation regarding airport pick up as we were originally informed. On arrive we were unable to find a desk that related to our arrival. Only after calling we were sent a WhatsApp message with a pin location to get too and then call again to let them know we were at their pin location (7/8 min walk around airport building) we then had an 8 min wait till a car arrived to take us to office. I except that these good deals would be impossible if their office was based within the airport but it just didn't help with a current knee injury which restricts my ability to walk much distance without pain.

" You may want to conduct some due diligence on Felirent. Felirent is located outside the perimeter of Palermo airport, a 13 minutes drive on a highway (I timed it and didn't appreciate the driving style of the shuttle bus driver either). This cannot be deemed an airport location under any circumstance's. There was no possibility to drop off the car outside of office hours - no use should one have an early morning flight. Counter staff informed me that I got an "upgrade" on arrival. Some upgrade - a car that had been put through its paces (53k km on the odometer), dirty and with clutch that was about to give way.

" Hello - I rented a car from Felirent and it turns out the car was not in safe driving condition, which was not spotted when I picked it up, but I had to drive 3 hours back to the rental agency the next day as the entire front panel of the underside of the car was dragging on the ground. When I picked up the car, I told them that it looked like the car had been in an accident as the front was all scratched and dented, and they assured me that it wasn't, and wouldn't swap the car out at that time. This was clearly a lie and forced me to waste a day of my holiday driving it back to return it. When I brought it back, the front desk staff said it wasn't their responsibility, that I needed to check the car, they didn't apologise or offer anything in terms of compensation. I spent my first whole day of holiday dealing with a rental car - which is not great. "
