Surrounded by picturesque mountains, Turin is a vibrant city located in the heart of the beautiful Piedmont region of north-western Italy. Blessed with a rich architectural heritage from its baroque heyday, it was Italy's first capital city from 1861 to 1865 and remains one of the country's most important industrial centres. The Romans designed the innovative grid of streets on which downtown Turin’s layout is still based, which was later enhanced with several broad boulevards and elegant town squares, most notably the bustling Piazza Vittoria where most first-time visitors get their bearings. The city's main points of tourist interest include the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista (home to the world-famous Holy Shroud) and the nearby Porta Palatina, the only one of four imposing entrances built by the Romans in the 1st century that's still standing today. Other absolute musts for visitors are the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) housed in a 17th-century palace and the Museo Civico d'Arte Antica (Civic Museum of Ancient Art) bursting with over 60,000 paintings, sculptures and decorative art works from the early Byzantine period to the late 19th century. After all the city sightseeing, you can make very good use of your car hire in Turin by venturing into the Alps for a hearty lunch of mountain fare or head down to the Ligurian coast to relax on the beach and enjoy some of the freshest fish and seafood available in the Mediterranean.

" Please get the basics correct. A two hour 'wild goose chase' around Turin was unnecessary, frustrating and a bad start to a holiday. "
" There was a big problem with the vehicle collection address. The Auto Europe confirmation stated the pick-up location as Porta Nova, however there was no Maggiore office near Porta Nova and following some great help from the Enterprise office near to Porto Nova, we ended up at the Maggiore office at Porta Susa some two hours later. The representative at Maggiore informed us that the Porta Nova office had closed some two years prior. The support from both Auto Europe and and Maggiore representatives was good and the fundamental issue was outdated information. "

" I always book through Autoeurope and normally have no issues with the car rental companies - this experience would not put me off booking with Autoeurope but I'd be much more choosy about the rental company next time. "
" The upfront price of the rental was cheap but when I arrived at the counter I was hit with 30€ charge for wanting to drive my car in France. This was not highlighted when I made the booking and took the price of the rental up to one of the bigger car rental firms. Had I known that, I would not have used Italycarrent. The car itself was battered - lots of damage which made it very difficult to check the status report that I was handed at the beginning of the rental Plus it absolutely stunk of cigarettes - it was quite frankly disgusting. When I returned the car, I was told that there was additional damage to the vehicle. Fortunately, I had taken a video of the car at pick up (I've had this experience before with a cheaper rental company so now always do this) so was able to demonstrate that the damage was there when I picked it up. However, this took well over half an hour. I had plenty of time to spare, but anyone in a rush would feel pressured to sign the document and take the hit. I also have a private insurance to cover my excess so the stress of having to pay for any damage was removed but anyone without that would probably be very anxious. The counter staff were very polite and courteous throughout but overall it was not a great rental. "

" Auto Europe's booking service was efficient as always. "
" Collection was stressful; I was handed a key and no paperwork. The car wasn't in the stated location; we had to fetch the man from the counter to find it. The car was damaged with a bad set of dents and scratches to its side and dirty inside. We returned to the counter to confirm it was already damaged before pickup and the member of staff said damages were emailed to me. They weren't but he wasn't interested in releasing any data about the recorded damage. He was rude and dismissive. There was no information about returns or what fuel to use. "

" Not heard anything back about this miserable experience. I now don't know if the team at Noleggiare who were trying to rip me off have been caught or a claim is still running as I have not heard anything back since Thursday. Thank you "
" Email sent to you Thur 10th Apr: I would like to discuss these claims of damage and my treatment and very poor customer experience at both the collection and return of the hire car from Turin. So can you please arrange for someone to give me a call before any charges are just taken from me. At collection, a very friendly member of staff showed me round the car and quickly explained there were many multiple minor damages... nearly on every panel. Consequently I didn't inspect each and every single mark and scratch. He almost encouraged me not to by saying it will all be fine given the car had so many damages. We drove the car safely to and from Montgenevre and returned to Turin airport with no incidents. On return we were met with a very different character who inspected the car like I've never seen. After at least 10 mins he found a hairline scratch on a panel near the rear door. It would be removed very quickly with some polish and a cloth but he claimed not to have any polish. When we compared the check out document with the damage there was a mark #4 where the hairline scratch was. He said that reference was for a very minor dent which could also be barely seen particularly from within a dark car park. So I wouldn't have known if the checkout document referenced the scratch or a dent as both were so insignificant. He said it would be a 150 euro fine for the repair - interesting as none of the other many damages had been repaired. I said this wasn't fair and he said he was just doing his job. I asked for the options he said pay 150 euros at the office, or wait to speak to the head office. Then he said he'd phone a superior to check the best price... he reduced it to 130 euros. I still felt this wasn't justified given the 3 minute job to fix the minor scratch. I then went to the local office and spoke to the same man and a female at the desk. They said they could remove an 80 euro admin charge, which went even been mentioned before then. Then they said the 130 offer was gone and now it had to be 150. I wasn't comfortable that any of this experience was correct or even legal so I confirmed I would wait to speak to head office before handing irregular payments to local staff who seemed to be making things up as they went along. And now I see an email suggesting I pay 250 euros for the 'damages' and an 80 euro admin fee? I hope someone can explain quite what was going on at Turin today and we can resolve this sensibly. I will also contact the agent I used and have used many times previously. "

" They said I'd scuffed a wheel which I really think I didn't do, charged me £293 (twice as much s the car rental in the first place) and even though I'd paid for full insurance including wheel cover with ItalyCarRental, then didn't give me any information on how to claim that back via their insurance. Very bad !! "

" Auto Europe definitely gave us the best deal for Enterprise in Italy. Seamless. We got a decent saving with no compromise. "
" We are a family of 6 adults and 2 young children (4 and 2) travelling for a ski holiday from Turin airport. I was very nervous about hiring a car for everyone as there are some horror stories on reviews for rental car companies in Italy. I was particularly worried about needing 2 car seats for the children and companies not giving guarantees for this. We phoned Enterprise in Turin from the number on the invoice and we were reassured. The collection and return was easy and stress free. We wanted one carseat to be different and this was dealt with straight away. Very impressed. "

" The reason it is a 5 is because auto Europe has chosen to use Italy car rent as one of its rental companies is disappointing. Auto Europe shouldn't endorse a rogue company and I'd assume our experience is not the first and there have been many disappointed customers. "
" If we could give this company "0" stars we would. We really wished we'd read the reviews before booking with Italy car rent. If you purchase with full insurance I can only assume you'll be fine. If not this company will falsify issues. Missing snow chains seems to be a common occurrence. Apparently our snow chains were missing upon drop off. We hadn't needed to use snow chains for the duration of our trip but my husband had looked under the booth flooring where the spare wheel was and noticed there was a package there which we assumed were the snow chains for incase we needed them. Upon dropping the car off (key box) we recieved an email stating snow chains were missing as well as they needed to do a full upholstery clean to the car. The car was not entirely clean when we picked it up but we didn't mind too much as we are a young family so know there will be a full valet required when dropping off the car (full valent is standard with any hire company). Italy car rent charged us €60 for cleaning and €80 for missing snow chain. Both completely ridiculous! We've been hiring cars for over 20 years now and have never come across a service like this. Complete con artists. We are pursuing the matter further. There is also no point in speaking with Italy car rent customer services as they will make false claims with little evidence - they know very well what they are doing! To add, the staff are incredible rude. We are utterly disgusted by our experience. "

" I admit I did make a an error in stating the pick up time but I never realised just how how critical the pick up time was (I have hired cars frequently through AutoEurope and have also suffered many flight delays.! I've never experienced a case where my rental was cancelled until this one. My booked cost of rental was about £95. In the terminal the only company to be able to offer a car was Sixt at €600. I did eventually manage to find a car for €177 (LocAuto) which was ready 5 mins after completing the paperwork. No problems with this contract. good quality car, good service, good fast return. available from the Airport car rental area opposite arrivals. "
" Due to a late arrival of a flight and also a slight error I made in stating the arrival time in Turin (and therefore the start of the rental time), I was told on arrival that the rental was void and no car could be supplied. They said they do not honour a contract 2hr after the stated pick up time. I was 20 mins beyond this. They could not offer any rental vehicle. I did speak to AutoEurpe in a long call but sadly no solution was found (although your was very assistant polite did try to assist.) "

There was a long list of logged marks and it would have been challenging to audit these. Instead I took photos and a video of the exterior. There were no issues on return. - although there was no queue when picking up the car, the desk staff seemed stressed and were not pleasant or friendly. "

" I had called europcar a few days before as I wanted winter tyres as I was driving from Turin and then through the French alps to serre chevalier and they assured me that winter tyres where mandatory as we got to alps the snow was really bad and we had to drive slow as we where sliding about and what normally takes around 2 hours took us nearly 5 hours and at one point it got so bad we stopped to put the snow chains on and guess what no snow chains so we carried on slowly and got there in one piece thankfully. The next morning I looked at the tyres on the car and realised they were summer tyres . I'm so cross as me my wife and my son could have been killed or seriously injured , it's not good enough .

This was neither made clear when booking nor on the booking voucher - there is nothing mentioned under the "Additional fees to be paid locally" section (even though it lists things like hiring child seats and GPS units!). This is such a common thing, especially when renting near a border like Turin, that it really should be made more obvious. When I phoned to complain (having picked up the car) I was extremely disappointed that you (Auto Europe) weren't willing to offer any compensation, or even admission that this is not made clear at any point in the process of booking and picking-up the car.

" The car we rented had a very unpleasant odor, which greatly detracted from our experience. Despite our discomfort, we had to wait for a minibus to transport us back to the airport, further prolonging our inconvenience. Overall, our rental experience was extremely disappointing and left us with a negative impression. "
" We will never use Auto Europe again! The reasons are as follows: the hidden costs for insurance, which were not disclosed in any of the paperwork. We were informed that this was due to the UK not being a part of the EU, which I now know to be untrue. This amounted to an extra £200, which we had not budgeted for "

" I rang customer services and a very offhand woman told me it was on page 4 of the Ts & Cs. "
" This was the stuff of nightmares. An off-airport pickup. Wrong directions in the documentation sent. Finally found my way there only to be told I needed an international driving license. This may have been buried on page 4 of a Ts & Cs and cover the arses of AutoEurope and Surprice but it would've been nice to point out during the booking process. I was told it was illegal to drive and yet was offered insurance that would cover me for several hundred pounds. On saying no, this continued to reduce until about eighty pounds. Like a market trader. This was a complete rip-off and I wouldn't accept the risk. I left there without a hire car and about £40 down (with the excess insurance). Absolute crooks. "

" Used Auto Europe for several years in several countries and generally very good with local operators. Will never choose Ecovia again. "
" I have never encountered such rude and confrontational staff at a rental service before. The mini van I collected was in poor condition. It was difficult to identify the number of scratches, dents, scuffs on the vehicle and match with the existing damage inspection sheet. The vehicle was reversed hard up against the car park side and it was raining very hard - I had to pull the vehicle out to open the rear luggage door. On return they immediately saw a fine scratch on the inside of the rear window - very suspicious as it was barely visible - I had certainly not noticed it on collection. They then began accusing me of causing the scratch with skis (we had no skis) and that it must have been us as it wasn't reported by the previous drivers. They maintained it was entirely our responsibility to have recorded it on collection - it was almost invisible and certainly not noticeable in the shadow and rain at the back of the car park. We were 2 adults with 4 young children and did not use the rear seats and only had 2 large and 2 small suitcases. We used the vehicle for 2 trips, 100km to apartment and 100kms back to the airport. Oh yes and the front passenger rattled and wouldn't lock - only discovered when we drove off. Their response when we got back was that if there was no warning light on the dashboard it was ok. "

" Auto Europe was a good place to find a good value car to rent We did however have to search outselves to confirm if the car rental company was using Winter Tyres (which was important to us) - as Auto Europe was unable to confirm this "
" Overall - the car pick up and drop off at Turin Airport worked very well Cars are in a car park 1 mins walk from the terminal - super easy Drop off was quick and simple. Areas for improvement Pick up - the staff member was grumpy and took ages. We were unable to 'check in' on line, so alot of unneccessary paper was required at pick up. Drop off - quick, however 3 days later, still waiting for email to confirm there was no extra charges for damage to car. "

Also - a great boon - whenever we have returned the car, the check has always been fast and fuss-free. This time, we even got a marvellous vehicle upgrade! I don't know whether they were out of the class of car we had ordered, but if they were they didn't mention it but just immediately put us into a different grade of vehicle. They really are great.

" Very poor experience, not provided vehicle or class of vehicle contracted for and attempted to by 'fobed off' with a car not fir for purpose. "
" The experience, quality and fulfilment of this reservation has been woeful. Below is a list of the issues experienced. Case has been riased over 5 days ago with Auto-Europe with 0 response to date. 1) The booking was for a Land Rover Discovery, full size SUV or Similar. This is required due to a party of 4 adults and luggage on this trip. Upon arrival we were informed by NOLEGGIARE they do not offer a Land Rover Discovery, nor anything of that size. We were offered a Ford Focus Estate as a replacement, being told this is in fact a class above our booking, which is clearly is not. After 45 minutes of not accepting this situation, we were offered a replacement the next day, which could be picked up in Turin City post 4.30pm. Luckily we were due to stay Turin for 48 hours. The replacement vehicle provided was a little better, a Pontiac XT4, but still not a full class SUV and post some arranging we were only just able to fit 4 pieces of luggage into the boot. 2) The replacement car (Pontiac XT4) was in a very poor state and in fact most likely not road legal. However we had not choice but to proceed as no alternative was offered and we needed the vehicle to continue our trip. The vehicle has a smashed driver side wing mirror rendering it unusable and the passenger side wing mirror has obviously been replaced in the past with a piece of mirrored plastic which warps any reflection so badly it is also unusable. In summary; We have been provided a vehicle sub the class of vehicle we paid for, so this contract remains unfulfilled, and the compromise vehicle provided had damage which could render it not road worthy under local law. Additionally I am appalled that the rental company attempted for 'fob us off' by offering a ford focus estate stating that was a class above that which I had booked.. clearly not a honest statement to make.

" The worst experience I have ever had. I arrive and am told that I am obliged to buy optional insurance. After minutes of discussion I agree to pay the amount even though I believe the agent was tricking as he was incentivsed via commission to pressurise the sale. When I ask for his name he tells me he will refuse to serve me and that his bank closed over 10 minutes ago and so I will have to figure out my own way at 23:00 at night, a woman on my own. Not only on a business level but on a personal level the service was despicable. The name of the agent was Davide and he was working the night of 20/09/23. "

I look forward to hearing from you and I demand a gesture of good will for the unpleasant experience and total lack of customer service offered at the desk by the lady on the day. "
" I do come to Turin quite often at least once a month and this time was the first time using Drivalia. The car was extremely expensive for what it was, a fiat panda which was given to us dirty and with the rear screen wiper broken! Please note that it did rain quite a lot during our stay in Italy and not having working wipers was really non convenient and unsafe. Car was suppose to to be on full tank and was given with less which is not what I signed for. I asked at the counter to speak with a manager as I expected to get a reduction on the charge for this car which was extremely expensive for the condition of the vehicle we obtain on the day. I will be posting a negative review as I wrote on the contract handed in to the young lady at the desk unless I will get some money back from this very bad rental experience. "

" I would now like to formally raise a complaint with your company about AutoEurope and Ecovia for the reasons below. Below are the reasons that I am looking for your representation and advice on how to raise a complaint with Ecovia. Issues with AutoEurope Claimed I could open a complaint/case on return and once the contract with the car hire company was complete. Despite two emails seeking advice since I returned, I have waited a week with no response. Rang AutoEurope from the airport to advise my flight would be delayed. They did not effectively pass on that message and the Ecovia desk in Turin were not ready with an update or options. When the Ecovia desk were demanding 300euro additional fee I sought advice from AutoEurope. Despite three calls where I was on hold for 10mins+ I could not get through for the assistance and advice I needed. Have not assisted me on return contesting this charge with Ecovia Issues with Ecovia Advised Turin desk was closed as it was 11.05pm when I got to it and they closed at 11pm (despite my booking being for 11pm) Advised that a car was available but would be 300euro extra Did not advise, but was later clarified by AutoEurope that this was an upgrade fee Upgraded car was old, dented and had 75k kms on the clock. Hardly an upgrade. Need for upgrade was not made clear and I assume it was because the desk did not properly reserve a car for my booking, which is clearly not my fault Fee was communicated to me as a penalty for being late Charged 100euro additional to the 300euro just to drive into France "

There was no walk round of the car, the tank was 3/8 full and was to be returned the same which is not easy to judge. I had never heard of the vehicle - a DR that we were given but it was totally useless for driving in a mountainous area, I basically had to use first or second gear to keep any speed with a tailback of furious Italian drivers behind me! Drop off was strange to, nobody there to check the cars, I had to go across and hand the keys in at the rental desk in the arrivals terminal, I would have preferred that that they agreed the car was in the same condition when I dropped it off, we took photos of scuffs on the boot lip and a chip on the tailgate before we departed.

(2) the signage for rental car drop-off when returning to the airport is very poor/small by comparison with numerous other European airports and the particular car park entrance gate is not at all obvious. (3) Having finally found the entrance, there were zero Sixt-labelled available spaces so we had to use one for a different rental company (4) there was no-one from Sixt or Auto Europe in the returns car park so we were obliged to photograph the car all round in case there was a subsequent false claim of damage.

My one negative comment regarding this hire was that there was only one person on the hire desk at collection and they seemed to have great trouble dealing with a previous customer such that the wait to be served was around 25 minutes and once being served the pre-registration I had completed online the day before was not represented on their screen meaning even longer to collect.

" I have become hesitant about Auto Europe. They were always my go-to site for booking a car; however, I have noticed that refundable excess is becoming a rarity when I've booked some cars recently. This is one of the main reason I like Auto Europe and them not offering it on most rentals has meant that I've had to chose more-expensive options. "

" Sicily by Car are a poorly run company with poor and lazy working practices, they can't be bothered to check their cars properly and that exposes customers to being charged for damage they did not cause. Avoid this company or suffer being charged for damage you did not cause. "
" This company does not check the cars before you collect them. They had you the car and say to is perfect when it isn't, they just can't be bothered to fill in the forms. I reported lots of damage to them on the exterior of the car which they noted. They did not check the interior of the car and nor did I as there was no provision on the forms to do this our even encourage it to be checked. This is in clear breach of BVRLA and ECRCS regulations for the car rental industry, as such this makes charges by the car rental company to the customer inadmissible. Nonetheless this company still charged me for damage to the interior of the car which I didn't cause and they couldn't be bothered to check at the point of rental. Shoddy company with poor working practices at best which exposes customers to charges for damage they did not cause. Trust pilot is littered with such complaints about this company and they get a low rating. However, they get a high rating on Auto Europe perhaps because Sicily By Car is owned by Auto Europe. "

" Poor attention to detail on the wording of the agreement which could have caused a problem on collection. "
" Agreement was wrong. I needed two credit cards which luckily I had and the stated deposit/excess reserve was way wrong. The car had a low tyre pressure warning on delivery, which required me to detour via a garage. P "

" I will have more comments when the dispute is resolved "
" The day after I returned to the UK Maggiore charged my credit card for an extra €43.26 without notifying me and not giving a reason. When we contacted them they said they hadn't been paid by AutoEurope so they were charging us. We are in dispute trying to recover the amount taken without permisssion. Maggiore have shown to be very underhanded and I will not use them again. "

" Your voucher is misleading; it says full coverage but LocAuto explained that if there had been damage, they would have charged and Auto Europe refund. So just back to extra insurance cover and waiting for some sort of refund. "

" All good so far "
" They charge me some fees without any communication and I found out only because I have checked my credit card! When I contacted them they said was an error and they will refund me within 20days and only what they took in Euro but not the bank's fees related to this transaction in pounds!! "

" Having booked a 'compact SUV' I was offered a VW Golf - I have never heard of a VW Golf being described as an SUV by any description! "
" The counter staff were very pleasant, but they attempted to miss-sell me unnecessary insurance that my broker (AutoEurope) had already covered. In my confusion I took out an additional insurance at cost, although not through Sixt. Miss-selling insurance is fraud! Additionally, although having booked a 'compact SUV' I was offered a VW Golf - I have never heard of a VW Golf being described as an SUV by any definition! I had to pay to upgrade the car. "

" Nothing to add "
" Very happy with overall experience but unfortunately there has been a follow-up charge for damage which I am sure was not caused by me. However, I don't think I can prove this, which is a shame as otherwise I was very happy with everything else with Ecovia. "

Counter staff didn't believe me and wanted to make me pay for fuel shortfall. Extremely rude counter staff at the Turin branch.

" As we had the car from AutoEurope it seemed that we lost some tights with Maggiore and they wouldn't really help me when I had the car issue. I wanted to return the vehicle and get a refund after the pothole incident as it had left me very shaken. I was told that if I'd rented direct then I would have been able to, but as it was via auto Europe I couldn't "
" Had an issue with the vehicle as I burst a tyre in a pothole. Took ages for the guy to arrive and when he did he took the car and left me stranded over an hours walk away from home. Drop off at Turin is understaffed, there was no one to take our vehicle so we had to go to the desk. "

" Very friendly staff, which is unique for me at a car rental!! "
" A fantastic service and very quick "
" Excellent service "
" As always a simple to use website which is clear except I could not find any information about charges if you keep the car longer than originally planned. "
" My wife was hospitalised in Turin so we overstayed by 7 days. I informed the LocAuto at the time. When I returned the car I was charged an additional 281 euros which in my opinion was excessive for the extra 7 days. "
" The service was very good and reassuring. I opted for the zero excess, but was surprised to find there was a £80 admin fee. Afterwards it made sense why there was a admin fee, I think the this should have been more clearer. "
" I was charged extra for for snow chain, this was a surprise. "

" Generally a good experience - friendly pick up no long wait. I was surprised the Vito did not have rear parking sensors - pretty essential for that size of car in a place like Italy. Also, on check out, my deposit could not be unblocked - I was promised an email yesterday to confirm that this had been done which hasn't arrived. There was no damage to the vehicle on check out.

" Customer service at Turin was very efficient although it took a bit of time to get a car arranged (other people seemed to get given a car much quicker than us). We were however given a free upgrade to a Skoda Octavia despite ordering a small compact. On return were met by attendant who quickly checked over car and fuel. Good service overall "
