Boasting a prime location midway down Italy's alluring Adriatic coast, the peaceful city of Pescara offers a true taste of Italy with all the added benefits of a sun-soaked seaside destination. Pescara is a place of immense history with its origins far preceding the Roman conquest. It was first founded as a port principally for trading with the Orient before being taken by the Lombards and then disputed by the Normans and the Aragonese, later becoming an important coastal fortress. Situated in the heart of the enchanting Abruzzo region, the city has managed to preserve its most ancient buildings and cultivate many attractions in the interest of patrimony and tourism, most notably the Vittoria Colonna Museum of Modern Art featuring works by Miró, Cascella, Michetti and Picasso, among many others. Other top cultural venues include the Basilio Cascella Museum and the fascinating Museum of the People of Abruzzo. Above all, Pescara is a popular gateway to the glorious Adriatic Coast with its miles and miles of fine sandy beaches in close proximity to the city centre, as well as the spectacular mountain range affectionately known as La Bella Dormentata (The Sleeping Beauty) less than an hour's drive away with your car hire in Pescara.

" Was surprised breakdown cover was extra - €69. Would expect hire car company to include that by default. I didn't buy and didn't breakdown "
" All good, except staff were not at the counter when we arrived as the plane was early. As they had us and at least 2 other bookings waiting behind us, I would expect them to monitor flights "

" No problems with your platform, it would be helpful to see iwhen you take payment for the vehicle as some companies do not take payment until collection of the vehicle. The type of vehicle stated like a Fiat Panda, when the actual vehicle was a very poor relative to that. "
" Quite possibly the worst car I have ever driven, it was made in India and ate fuel.. There was a mix up with the car I was given and a key left in the vehicle which I thought was a spare until I later discovered was due to my being given the wrong car. Staff appeared to blame me for the error and as good as threatened me until I found them a solution for returning the key back to them. It caused me considerable upset and distress quite frankly. "

" Our flight was delayed by around an hour and on arrival, the Viaggiare office was closed. I had to call an Italian number and although he said he was arriving, it took around 30 minutes, delaying our evening further. The car we were given was not as expected and was in fact a very low grade Mahindra. We were very unimpressed. "

" They did not give me any information on charging the EV I hired. Most notably they did not supply a charging compatible with a domestic electric supply. When I realised this I telephoned them and they told me this was impossible. Which was patently untrue. I had immense problems finding a working and compatible charging station. It ruined my holiday.

" Always been happy with auto Europe used them many times. I would like to say the car hire at Pescara have rocketed in the last 3 years. We have been travelling to the same airport for 18 years and have seen real changes in all the companies "
" When we picked up the car it had marked on the conditions contract of the vehicle a lot of tiny marks which were impossible to check when it's dark at the airport. On return they checked the car and insisted on keeping my paperwork said all was ok and I would receive an email which i haven't to date. I'm keeping an eye on my credit card charges. All the car companies at Pescara airport seem to be so picky with the cars and a lot of people are getting caught out. "

" 1. Just one member of staff at car collection, despite multiple prebooked customers in queue. 2. Online check-in while waiting in queue did not work as the online form asked for Italian National Insurance Number as mandatory field. I am dual citizen and I have an Italian National Insurance Number but did not have it with me and did not remember it by heart, so online check-in did not work 3. Check-in included a paper form to be filled in by hand with my main details, when all the relevant details had been already provided at the time of the booking with Auto Euope 4. At checkout no Viaggiare staff was present at car park and in the Viaggiare office either (office was closed and locked despite the checkout being during the working hours of the office). I dropped the key in an hidden postbox which had a sign stating that in case of key dropping the driver had the responsibility to take pictures and videos of the car and the dashboard (for petrol) and send them via email. This was never advised at checkin and the car park is a 10mins walk from the office (with bags and everything) under the sun. Combined with upcoming flight it is deemed not possible to do this. I therefore called a number displayed outside the office to be told that the staff was on lunch break (from the contract they knew I was going to check out at that time) and therefore the office was closed. They stated dropping the keys was at my own risk but given the upcoming flight and the fact all went ok during the rental we agreed it was ok to drop the keys and go. 5. One day after checkout I received an invoice of 25EUR covering a cleaning fee because the car had "sand" in places. The rental location is a seaside resort - how is the user meant to hoover the sand off the car while on holiday? There is a larger cleaning fee for waste left in the car and proper dirt, but a bit of sand is really part of a "wear and tear" approach during the rental. Google and Tripadvisor reviews of Viaggare have almost every customer complaining about this 25EUR post rental cleaning fee. It feels a simple default extra charge for everyone, when Viaggiare would surely hoover the car for the next customer anyway. "

" You have organised your part of the contract satisfactorily but I don't think S by Car are as organised as you. "
" The first car supplied was faulty and broke down after 5 days. I reported the fact immediately that it did not feel right. If my family who speak Italian were not there to assist I would have had a lot of difficulty. However, we had to organise the pick up truck, and then get ourselves to the airport to pick up a replacement which is poor service. I think it should have been delivered to the garage where we left the broken car. Poor customer service.

" Since the start of COVID and now with restrictions easing the cost of car hire does seem very high.Collection was very good. Car was in good condition. A very nice vehicle to drive. Only down side was representative would not check the car and give me a final bill. I returned the vehicle with a full tank and no damage caused by me. In the past I have been accused of late return, damage that if there was any, had not been done by me. Friends have been charged for fuel when in fact like me they returned with a full tank. I do have another booking with Sciley by car hire and hope that shortly I see the return of the money charged in advance with no deductions. I have used Sciley by car before and have been pleased with the service, including the checking of the vehicle on return. Really hope that they can do this check in the future for me and others as it really does put people at ease, and would also increase my likely hood of giving a higher score to the questions you ask.

" I had a very bad experience as described above. I would like this matter to be taken up further with Europcar. Thank you. My likelihood of a referral largely depends on the outcome of my complaint. Thank you. "
" I have filed a complaint about the customer service at Europcar in Pescara, Italy, which was extremely unpleasant, hostile, and I was charged Euro 102 for a few minor scratches on the back left hub, both less than and inch long and which will not take the regulated 1 day to repair (buff in this case) and which should be considered normal wear and tear.

" Thankful we have full insurance, but now I'm required to manage the claim and dispute. Which is effort I was not expecting "
" Hi, the challenge we have is that on returning the car we have been charged for damage to the front bumper. This is despite the fact that rental documents states that there is damage to the front bumper. We have charged for a scratch greater than 200mm, I have a picture and it's smaller than my thumb. It appears that Avis are trying to make money from damage to the car. As stated the car had damage in a number of areas, all stated in the agreement. "

" We arrived on delayed flight from Frankfurt Hahn. We spoke to Matteo. He informed us late fee is 70 euros. But if you come back tomorrow you can have car without 70 euro charge late fee. We came back next day and new assistant told us they had cancelled our car hire!!! We were misinformed. We had no car. We had to phone yourselves who told us that you hadn't cancelled car but car by Scilily had! You got us another car with budget immediately and said it could be done for £30 cancellation fee which we accepted. There was another couple of ladies from Belgium told the same story. They had come back the next day for their car and theirs was cancelled as well. They rebooted with budget. Overall shocking treatment.
