Located in the heart of the Calabria region of southern Italy, Lamezia Terme's history dates back to the 9th century when the whole area was part of the Byzantine Empire. The first port of call for most visitors is the ancient castle, which comprises a rich ensemble of ruins nestling right on top of a 320-metre-high hill overlooking the entire city. Built in the mid-16th century, the Bastione di Malta (Stronghold of Malta) ranks as one of Lamezia Terme's best-preserved architectural assets. This square-shaped tower is a stronghold of iconic proportions that served to protect the country's southern coastal system for many centuries. Don't miss the House of Ancient Books (Casa del Libro Antico), a fascinating museum houseing a rare collection of over 2,500 vintage volumes going back to the beginning of the 16th century. Lamezia Terme's Archaeological Museum, likewise, is a cultural treasure trove of old artefacts locted in the ancient convent of the Dominican Friars. Built in 1640 with a striking Neoclassical design, the city's impressive Cattedrale dei lametini is worth visiting for its 17th-century holy water stoup made of beautiful green marble and exquisite wooden choir with precious inlays. With a car hire in Lamezia Terme you can enjoy a leisurely drive up the coast to Caronte Spa situated in the spectacular setting of the Reventino mountains. Popular with the Romans in the 2nd century AD, its muds, steam and hot sulphurous waters have been known to aid and sometimes cure a variety of medical conditions since time immemorial.

" As above read all small print "
" I booked through a 3rd party which was a mistake I was 2 hours late arriving at La Metzia terme airport and when I went to collect my car they had rented my car out! I was so annoyed. I was told I would have to take out another agreement and had to pay for a larger car . So I lost my initial hire payment. Cost me nearly £300 extra .I had no choice, the lady was very polite and I left £ 400 out of pocket. My advice is to read the small print thoroughly or else they will charge u again. Not very happy at all "

" When the PANDA was rendered undriveable my only resource was to phone Auto Europe. Sicily by Car did not pick up the phone. AE was so helpful & I believe that they called Sicily by Car & complained on my behalf. I was much relieved. "
" I was in urgent need of help & they do not answer the phone. There has to be more SMALL cars available. I was given an old Panda that after a week suffered an attempted theft. My belief is that there is a regular scam to claim insurance & these old, battered Pandas are given out, knowing that they will be targeted. The car pool was full of new cars & the Panda i was given did not represent anything like the quality of the other cars in the parking lot. All the carhire companies should be reprimanded. It is so obvious what is going on. "

" Read what happened to me at Autovia above. When I rang you to say I was stranded for the ridiculous reason that they would not accept a credit card with initials your operative said 'Oh yes, that's right'. There is nothing he could do. The best offer he made was to cancel the reservation. Quite atrocious service. He left me stranded and forced to accept Autovia's only offer of paying and additional 216 euros. If you knew that this was what Autovia and other Italian rentals do then you should warn your customers so this does not happen to them. You did not and for that you are culpable. I shall be making a formal complaint and if you do not refund the additional payment I shall take the matter further to the BVRLA. "
" Dreadful. They refused to accept my Barclaycard because it has my initials ( KA Sharpe) and not my full name (Keith Anthony Sharpe). They were happy to leave me stranded at Lamezia Airport with no bed for the night. Eventually they said that if I paid them 216 euros on top of what I had already paid you they would release the car. I had no choice. It was appalling. And with unimaginable hypocrisy they took the 216 euros from the Barclaycard they had just refused, and also added a deposit of 100 euros, despite saying they could not accept any card with only initials. I rang Auto Europe from Lamezia and you were extremely unhelpful. See below. "

" Hi there, I can't see another way of contacting AutoEurope by email so I thought I would write here. When we arrived I was asked for an International Driving License, which I didn't have. I have rented dozens of vehicles in Italy over the past 20 years and have never had to present an IDL. I rented in Sicily in April 2023 and was not asked for one. I called AutoEurope and was advices to engage in a completely new booking with Noleggiare (which cost twice as much as my original booking) and was told by Heather at the call center that I would be reimbursed the money for this new booking since Noleggiare should honour the original booking. Can you confirm that this is the case? I would be most grateful!! Thank you in advance, Michael "

Unfortunately , at the check-in desk I was informed there was no record of the additional cover and therefore I was not protected! I have paid for the additional cover because I believed it to be a good offer but received nothing for it!

" I Have rented through Auto Europe a number of times and each time you have offered the cheapest from other comparable sites. Your booking system is easy and overall I cant fault your company. However I am shocked at the cost of rentals in Italy , I don't know what has happened! I am not sure how much longer I can afford to rent, even from you! "
" I have rented from Sicily by car and always received a nice car. This time I don't know what happened. The car was dirty and had clearly never been cleaned. It had numerous bumps and scratches all over, not in one place but from what was obviously any number of dings. The steering wheel was worn through at the top, there was a warning light of some sort, which I only discovered at the end was tyre pressure, but when I pointed it to the man who received the car, he said don't worry it is just the sensor. Well, I had worried!! For two weeks, I just couldn't do anything about it!! There was a fairly significant rattle when the heater was on as well. On checking in the lady had offered me two different Fiats, I laughed and said that I didn't know, and I had no experience of either so couldn't say, and left it up to her to choose, at which point she put those keys back and handed me the key to the car that I ended up with, which wasn't a Fiat but something else entirely (I cant remember the make} "

I paid over £500 pounds for a car that was a heap of junk and then to cap it all I got stung for another €140 for an additional driver when I had specifically selected free additional driver when booking and chosen from the list presented. I contacted autoeurope by email and DM on twitter and was basically told tough and to ring, unfortunately this was not practical for me as I was in Italy. I still don't understand why you couldn't deal with my query by email. "

" As I require an estate car to allow space for a folded wheelchair for a disabled child it would be a useful (and I feel reasonable) adjustment if the rental codes could be shown on the website to ensure that "or equivalent" provides certainty that the same size vehicle will be supplied. "
" The sheet provided showed no damage to the car. However, this was far from the truth. The car had been parked reversed into long grass. This hid the scratches at the rear. There was also other minor bodywork damage that had not been marked. Most significantly there was a large crack in the windscreen, running diagonally at the top corner on the passenger side. The counter staff tried to tell me that it was still safe to drive and that the previous customer had been driving the car for two months without problems. This shows that they had knowledge of the problem but had neither marked it on the sheet nor taken any steps to have the significant damage repaired before passing the car to me. Having checked with a local contact, it was determined that it is an offence to drive a car with a damaged windscreen. The Maggiore staff verbally offered to pay any such fine, an acknowledgement of the legal ramifications of the condition of the vehicle. I needed an estate car to ensure sufficient space for my disabled son's wheelchair in addition to our luggage. The staff had no replacement vehicle available. After a call to Auto-Europe and protracted discussion with Maggiore they eventually borrowed another estate car from Avis. This was a downgrade as the class I had booked was an automatic but the provided vehicle was manual (and a Fiat Tipo in place of the originally supplied Mercedes Benz). No offer of any refund was made but with a tired and increasingly hot family to deal with I was in no mood to continue discussions at that time. Drop-off at the end was efficient. In summary, I found the pickup process difficult and stressful. I am incredibly disappointed in Maggiore. The staff attempted to provide me with a car that it was neither safe nor legal to drive, had attempted to pass it off as in perfect condition on the sheet originally provided and had possibly even attempted to conceal some of the bodywork damage by parking the car in longer grass. I would urge Auto-Europe to seriously consider their relationship with Maggiore at Lamezia Terme. "

" Overall, despite the comments above, the rental was satisfactory. "
" There were far more marks on the car than were shown on the paperwork. However, this was easily corrected. The dashboard signs were also showing one tyre underinflated. We were told to ignore this as the sensor was faulty. During the three weeks we had the car, we had to inflate three out of the four tyres - so maybe the sensor was working after all and the tyres simply hadn't been checked. "

" My experience with Auto Europe has been good until the experience with Locauto upset me. "
" Because our flight was early morning we had to leave the car back at 6 am. We looked after the car very carefully and returned it full of petrol, in the same condition we got it and posted the keys through the box on door as requested. A few hours later, while sitting in Milan Airport, I received a message to say that the car had damage on one of the wheel trims and this would cost me 139euro. They provided photos. We also had taken photos of the car and individual photos of all wheels. Our photos do not show any damage. I have spent a lot of time contacting them and provided them with our photos. The damage must have been done after we left the car. Their photos are not taken in the same place as I left it!! I am awaiting their response. "

" Initially I was very pleased with the rental. All appeared to go smoothly. I dropped it off. It was checked by the representative and all cleared as no damage ,and a full tank. However, several days later a £40 charge has been made against my account. I have received no contact as to what this is about. I know have to go through a lengthy process to have this overturned. I am have gone from a very satisfied customer to a very unhappy one. "

" Experience was fine. "
" There were only a couple of other customers in front of me in the que to pick up the car, it was a very hot day, my family waiting outside in the baking heat. Unfortunately it took around 40 minutes to actually get processed which just seemed excessive to me! Upon dropping off the car the men checking the car over and pointed to the door lock. I said what was the matter, they were unable to explain as they could not speak English. A few days later I received an invoice for "damage" to the car for £50!! This was totally unacceptable as it was not explained to me and nothing to do with me!! "

" Not happy with being offered a Fiat 500 or Panda when had booked a Ypsilon or Clio. We own a house in Calabria and needed to go to collect stuff from the DIY store and the car supplied was not suitable. Also, the gearbox was very bad for a new car. "

" As I HIRE A VEHICLE AT LAMEZIA ON A REGULAR BASIS I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM BEFORE. SOME PEOPLE NEED TRAINING ON CUSTOMER CARE. DUE TO THIS EXPERIENCE I HAVE GIVEN LOW MARKINGS AND I WAIT FOR YOUR RESPONSE WITH INTEREST. "
" When I picked up the vehicle there was damage to the car, this was not a problem as the damage was indicated on the paperwork. When I arrived at my destination it was clear that the cars locking device did not work. Due to this I returned the car the next morning and was given another vehicle in exchange, I was told when I asked that there would be no charges made due to the condition of the first vehicle. I have noticed today the car rental company have charged to my credit card £9.37 which I think must be for the fuel I used in returning the car for a journey I should not have had to make in the first place.

" I had to upgrade my car three times and had no problems with your customer services. Very professional. "
" Local staff very helpful when picking up the car and on return. "
" Having used Auto Europe for many years I have been impressed again by the service and prices. However, Firefly did not provide a good car - see below. "
" 1. Although my credit card with £1000 has been accepted several times before by Firefly for the blocking, it wasn't this time. I have Insurance 4 Car Hire but had to pay Firefly 149 for the 7 day CDW! 2. The car was not in good condition. In particular the aerial was missing and there were many scratches on the body work.. NOT HAPPY or IMPRESSED. "
" Auto Europe site said the booking was with Enterprise, but it was actually with Locauto. It turned out OK, but I was trying to avoid Locauto because of many poor reviews. "
" It was actually a Locauto rental although I had booked with Enterprise. But all went well. Very pleasant and helpful staff, who spoke good English, no waiting to collect or to return car. Choice of 2 cars (though not the model I booked), clean fairly new car, and no attempt to sell me anything. Overall I was very satisfied "
" Car could have been cleaner ? "
" Happy with Auto Europe as the Agent but would not use FIREFLY again.Outside of the car was not clean and lots of small dents and scratches.During the holiday realised my main headlights and back lights were not working,called the office on 7 occasions and sent 2 text messages,asked me to ring back twice and then informed me they could not understand English or they were busy serving customers.Very poor after sales. "
" I use auto Europe on a very regular basis and would highly recommend the company, the only slight criticism I have is that it's very difficult to get the on line system to keep your details for future bookings. "
" would like better advice and made clear about zero exccess cover "
" a little happy face would make a change after all when your just about to start a holiday one would like to start with a high not a sour face "
" I have used a number of car hire providers at this location, and this is the most friendly and efficient by far. "
" Excellent price. Quick service at airport. No problems. "
" Considering they have a plane in every day all a bit of a muddle and long winded. They try and push insurance .The car we had had a lot of scratches one large one on the passengers wing . And the windscreen washer never worked so we had to throw bottles of water over it. "
" Good value "
" No problems. Good service. Good value "
" Excellent car hire at the best prices and good customer service. We have been using you for many years when we go to our apartment in Italy. We also recommend you to family and friends who are staying at our apartment too. "
" Service is usually excellent provided an American answers the phone. "
" Service is usually good but cars are usually dirty. "
" The website is first rate. I have used this site for about 8 yearns "
" Max behind the counter is the most helpful and pleasant guy you could wish to meet, and his English is far better than my Italian. I have used them on my last 5 visits and will continue to do so. "
" I think some incentive for returning customers is a good thing because there is alot of competition with car hire now. Customers shop around to save £10-£20 on a booking. "
" I know the ladies at the airport office well now, they are very efficient. "
" Excellent service for pick up and return and i had the car that I wanted. "
" Would book again. "
" Quicker service at pick up point Lamezia Airport long wait .and a smile would be nice,and more help to find rental car ,possible lack of staff!!!! "
" not good if car breaks down or similar .as happened to me .Told if car not able to fix i would be taken by taxi to Lamezia Airport to pick up another car and then drive 2 hours back to where we we staying not good if on holiday !!!My suggestion would be for your company to deliver a new car from Airport to me and your company get a taxi back to Lamezia Airport from Tortora /Praia Amare .Car was fixed so no problem this time .kind regards Carlo "
" Excellent service and requested a Fiat 500, which I got. Will book again. "
" Very fast and professional service. "

" The rental rate was reasonable.I did my research on line but booked by phone.The person who made the booking had good communication skills and was pleasant and professional.The staff at Lamezia were efficient and friendly.Fortunately I had not long to wait for my car,and it was in reasonably good condition.It was checked on return and all was in order. "
" The car was an economical Fiat Panda which served my needs. The staff explained that although the fuel tank registered 7/8 it was full. All was as advertised apart from that "
" I am a regular traveller to southern Italy , the team at europcar in Lamezia are the best! They are very friendly and organised, I would defiantly recommend them. Mr Orrin England "

" We nearly always use Auto Europe. "
" Good service quick pick up and return value for money. "
" Autoeurope is a great solution to book car hire on line at great prices. Straight forward process which requires little time. "
" Firefly vehicles are Hertz vehicles. Mileage is higher that average but the overall quality of the cars is still very good. Minor damage was recorded on damage sheet prior to my rental. It would be great to discourage people from smoking in vehicles to avoid leaving an unpleasant background smell. "
" Booking process was fine, voucher accepted OK. "
" The time taken to pick up the car was unacceptable - obviously Hertz cut-price cousin Wildfire had over-extended its offer. The car was scruffy and the clerk just put scratches all over it on the check out form. He also accepted my word that we had done no further damage and that the tank was full on our return. The car was OK but I'm worried that as once before I'm going to find a charge on my credit card deposit for no good reason. "
" Easy to book and found cheaper than going direct to rental company. "
" Found very helpful and straight forward and got away very quickly. The same on return. "
" first class car and service from start to finish "
" Friendly ,helpful, supplying an upgraded superb quality car. "
" When booking, I would like to see the name of the rental company before finally confirming and paying. I have used Autoeurope many times and am very satisfied. "
" Maggiore were very efficient and helpful on arrival. The standard of cars available was very good. This was the first time Autoeurope has arranged a car for me using Maggiore and I would rate them the best so far. "
" Best price & easy booking procedure "
" Extremely efficient English speaking reception at collection point. Smooth and speedy (but thorough) handback. "
" Consider insurance at booking should and could be clearer "
" Very Relaxed attitude . Nice staff and very professional. Checking car in should be more controlled as had to request staff to physically check car and then ask for papaerworked to be signed to say car returned with fill tank of fulel and no damage "
" Excellent service "
" Being a regular traveller I always book through Auto Europe, but only ever use Budget/Avis as they are much better to deal with than any of the other companies. "
" Very good at getting competitive prices "
" Loved the Fiat 500. Very prompt and efficient. Very satisfied as long as no charges come through; there shouldn't be any. "
