Founded in the 1st century BC, the historic city of Verona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the north of Italy. Located midway between Venice and Milan, and just a few miles away from Lake Garda, the city flourished under the rule of the Scaliger family in the 13th and 14th centuries and still revels in its art, opera, architecture and literary fame. The first thing you'll notice when exploring with your car hire in Verona is the remarkable number of old monuments, all of which are extremely well preserved with many dating back to ancient times. Start in the Centro Storico, Verona's delightfully atmospheric old town, where you'll find several of the city's top attractions, including the Arena di Verona (Roman amphitheatre) built in the 3rd century AD and one of the largest of its kind in the world. A short walk away stands the magnificent 11th-century San Zeno Maggiore Basilica, which is generally considered to be the finest Romanesque building in northern Italy. One of the best day-trips from Verona is the drive west to Sirmione, a picture-book town idyllically located on the southern shores of Lake Garda. After crossing the drawbridge and visiting its imposing 13th-century castle, take some time to relax in one of the lakeside restaurants to sample the very best in Italian cuisine.

" I would be very grateful if your company would look into my extra charges. I could not see the word "Keddy" anywhere and was directed to EUROPCAR It unfortunately put a real dampener on what was a lovely holiday and is still causing us stress. "
" Keddy didn't exist but we went through EUROPCAR. at Verona airport. They insisted on charging me more even though I had already paid for extra cover. I showed them paperwork from autoeurope. They also charged me for other extras I did not request. I am still waiting to why I have other charges since dropping car off. There was no one at the depot when I dropped car off. I deposited keys in box. There was no damage to car and I refilled fuel at fuel station close to carhire depot. There should be no further charges at all. Altogether extremely stressful. I would not recommend EUROPCAR to anyone and they are not doing your company any favours. I have submitted a claim form. I communicated with autoeurope whilst away and they were very helpful and responded to my emails very promptly. "

" I wanted to rent a car, and did so. "
" The Car hire was fine, but somewhat old with over 100,000km on the clock, and was showing signs of wear and tear. However, it was adequate and we had no problems with it. The Sicily By Car staff were helpful, and did a good job. However, I am highly unlikely to have a conversation with a friend about a car rental ! I wanted to hire a car, I chose the type of car and Company, and duly did so. I always answer this most irritating of questions in the same way ! "

" The shuttle driver on the collection from the airport ( young guy, mirrored glasses, stubble beard) was the rudest man I ever met. Georgia - behind the counter was polite and efficient, but felt ripped off with additional charges €242 for accident cover on top of our payment. The car, Renault Megane estate was big, comfortable and quiet but had a massive scratch / dent / scrape down the whole of the drivers door and rear door. No one cared about it. The advert said Verona Airport, but it wasn't. It was a shuttle drive away - so felt like false advertising. We wouldn't book again "

" I have used Auto Europe several times, but the response I got regarding the issue, was unhelpful at best "
" Absolute disgrace!!!!!!! Our flight was delayed, so we arrived to pick up the car 1 hour 13 minutes late. When the receptionist finished dealing with the customer at the desk, we approached. we handed over the paperwork for the car we had already paid for. She looked at the computer screen, then pushed back with a big smile and said the booking had been cancelled. When i questioned what she meant. With the biggest smirk, told me the system automatically cancels any booking after a hour. I asked her to explain, she laughed and said that is the system, and there was nothing she could do, and I would not get a refund but i could try. She deliberately did not give me a cancellation report until, the couple behind us who were also on our flight, told us to ask for one. We were only allowed to take a photo of it. The young woman was vile and a disgrace to any company. I have used the company on many occasions over the years, and have never received such dreadful customer service. "

" 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. "

" Auto Europe did not pass the request for child seats on to Drivalia so I hold them predominantly responsible for the inconvenience and having to buy child seats that I do not need or want. Because the request didn't go through I had to leave my young family for two hours at the airport, whilst I went on a wild goose chase to buy child seats. A very stressful experience. "
" There was no child seats available despite two being on the booking request. I was told by the staff to blindly go to the local decathlon to buy them but decathlon do not sell child seats. It felt like they tried to just send me away somewhere and I would be out of their hair. I had to leave my young family at the airport to go and buy rather than hire child seats now I'm left with two seats that I have no use for. This all caused a two hour delay to the start of our family holiday. The car it self was badly dented down the passenger side and generally scratched and scraped around every panel "

Could you please explain what this is for and reimburse as soon as possible. Please also note that when we picked up the car in Verona, we were charged an additional 75.01 Euros because of the different drop off location - something that we thought was already included in the quote that we received and agreed.

" Auto Europe was easy to book with, I took out the extra cancellation insurance, though did not need to use it. No issues at all with Auto Europe, I can recommend on this experience. "
" I've rented from Viaggiare twice, and on both occasions, they reported damage to the vehicle after the rental period. In both cases, the claims were unfounded. After the first rental, I had to dispute the charge through my credit card to recover the funds. This time, I've responded to the accusation letting them know I have photo evidence taken at pickup, clearly showing the alleged damage was already present. A single incident could be an error, but experiencing this twice raises serious concerns about the company's integrity. When collecting the car, the counter staff was only 1 person, and they had no interest in documenting the existing unrecorded damage and simply told me to take my own photos and keep them as evidence. With so many pre-existing issues, it's easy to imagine you could miss something and risk being wrongly charged by Viaggiare. "

" If you are able to refund me half of the cost of my hire (given the fact the first vehicle was not roadworthy and dangerous to drive and that I was told the company did not have a replacement vehicle until a full week after the original day of hire) I would consider the matter appropriately dealt with by your company and would be able to recommend you to others/use you myself with car hire in the future. "
" For the first week of our fortnight we had a Peugeot Boxer which had defective indicators and headlights and a warning triangle on the dashboard from day 1. Despite me contacting Viaggiare immmediately it took one full week before they could replace the vehicle with a Ford Toureno which was the vehicle we expected at the outset. I had to go back to Verona Airport at a cost for me in fuel and a 6 hour round trip from where we were staying near Prato. I would ask you/Viaggaire to consider a considerable refund to me for the situation we had to endure and the stress it caused during the first week of what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday. "

Especially helpful when I called on advice about Rentsmart24 claiming there was damage to the car when they had told me it was all okay when they checked it. I had to claim on the insurance that I took out with yourselves of which I was very impressed, their service and prompt conclusion was exceptional. I am likely to use AutoEurope and the insurance again. "

On receiving the email after we had left they claimed damage was there that wasn't before and they charged me. I am furious as we were told the car was all okay and we were at the premises after it had been checked for some time waiting for a taxi giving the staff plenty of opportunity to inform us of the apparent damage. If the damage was there why was I not told instead of being told it was all okay. I did get sent a photo of the rear of the vehicle when the apparent damage was on the front!! I requested another photo of the apparent damage with the registration plate but I have not received it!! Such a shame as I was really impressed up to that point. "

" Tried to get the car at the Hertz counter at Verona Airport 4th june evening but was refused since they said i needed the plastic licence. I showed them the paper licence, and also a photo of my plastic licence on my phone, along with an out of date plastic licence, but was told i needed the current plastic licence. Called your UK support number but i guess since it was 6.15pm BST, call was transferred to your USA office. All I wanted was for the name on my reservation to be changed to my wife's with all other details remaining the same and Hertz/Thrifty would then give me the car. BUT Your USA office informed me that they were unable to do this and that i should talk to/communicate with UK office, which i did immediately by sending an e-mail. Hence I could not get any car from Hertz/Thrifty and even though I went to a couple of other rental companies there, no one had an automatic car to rent for my wife. So, i had to get a taxi to the hotel and spend money on taxis etc for the next 5 days to get around Lake Garda and surrounding areas Mr Abhi Budhwar "

" Had two bookings with them. The first booking they demanded €400 more euros on arrival for additional insurance. Both agents were extremely unhelpful and also could not provide us with any written terms and conditions to show why we had to pay the extra money. They spoke Italian to one another sniggering and laughing in front of us which is very unprofessional. The lady then accused us of taking photos of her which was proven to be false in which she did apologise for however she was extremely rude about it in the first place. We ended up cancelling this booking and using another provider. The second booking, we obtained the car and had to return to the desk as it had a lot more damage on it than what had been noted on the paperwork given. Ee asked for both of the agents names to be able to make a complaint. The male told us his name was Andreas however the lady refused to give her name which is a clear indicator of knowing she had done wrong.

" See comments re: experience with Italy Car Rent. Auto Europe answered the phone when I called the number on the voucher but were of no help in actually getting me to my destination. I hire cars multiple times every year and have used Auto Europe for c. 20 years but never again as I cannot trust that something I have paid for in advance will actually be available. The refund does not cover all of my booking cost and I had to rent a much more expensive car leaving me €300 out of pocket. A 2 hour delay is nothing in terms of air travel these days and I don't see how I can trust Auto Europe again. "
" The service was so slow that by the time we were served we were told we were too late for the car we had PAID FOR IN ADVANCE ! and they had given the car to the people in front of us. I have never had this experience with a hire car and cannot understand why a vehicle I paid in advance to have use of for 7 days was made unavailable within 2 hours. I am not even sure that it is legal under consumer protection law, because I had already paid. The woman on the desk really could not care less. "

" I have been using Auto Europe for many years and I have always been happy with their service but I cannot say the same for some of the rental companies they are working with. "
" Extremely rude unprofessional and unhelpful member of the staff at the counter as soon as I have arrived to collect the car, without any apparent reason to behave in such awful manner. As many others rental companies do, Sicily by Car do not accompany the customer to the car to check it together and eventually address any concerns, but at the counter I was told that if I have any concerns I would have to take a pictures and sent them to their email address with any comments. I have been renting cars for decades and I have to say that this is not the most professional and reassuring procedure. The first car I was given was dirty. Having talked to the member of the stuff cleaning returned cars by the car park, he said that I shouldn't have been given a car in such dirty condition. I decided to take the car anyway, in all honesty I did not fancy going back to the counter to face the rude lady once again. Soon after driving away (about 10 minutes), I have realised that the rear window wiper was missing (it's a legal requirement to have it fitted) I returned back for assistance just to be told from the same rude person at the counter that I would have to be charged for it. It was only after arguing at length about the unreasonableness of the situation (how could I have damaged a window wiper in the space of 10 minutes? I could have understood their point if I would have come back with a broken head light or something similar) and the intervention of another member of the staff that the car was replaced with a different one. After having the replacement car for few hours the oil warning light came on with a message on the dashboard recommending do add one litre of oil. Also no long after that another warning message about replacing the key fob battery came on. It is evident that the cars are not properly looked after and not adequately checked before being handed to the customer, to the extent that legal required parts of the cars in order to drive it safely are missing. Also essential maintenance checks like oil levels are not carried out making the cars not road worthy and giving the customers unnecessary concerns. Also at the moment of the booking on your website, after having compared the price and service of few different rental companies and decided to use Sicily by Car because they were giving me the option to have a car equipped with winter tyres, I went back to proceed with the booking only to realise that the cost did go up of £.50 and I do not understand why. In conclusion I have to say that the experience with Sicily by Car wasn't a pleasant one at all !! Not an experience you want to have at the start of your holiday. "

" AutoEurope, when contacted for help, threatened not to reimburse me and impose a penalty because allegedly we were late picking up a car that I have prepaid for (fees are per 24 hours from when rented pursuant to T&CS + 11 days paid for), even though we have arrived on the flight in time identified in the reservation form. In any event, no such term for "late arrival" exists in T&Cs / the Voucher. AutoEurope also refused to rebook with another provider and a number of providers in Verona airport had the same cars available. Italy Car Rent at the time said that it is AutoEurope's duty to do so (but I have no idea as to your internal arrangements with Italy Car Rent. "
" Second year in a row we DO NOT get a car or do not get the RIGHT CAR from Italy Car Rent, it is unacceptable. It is obvious Italy Car Rent are overselling on their fleet and AutoEurope is taking no responsibility for the vendor it is using. I submitted my complaint for compensation to that effect and would kindly like to remind AutoEurope UK based entity as to its consumer protection obligations. "

" From the point of view of handover & drop-off everything was very good. Transfer to & from airport to their location was very good. But i have to say i was not happy at being penalised for some damage to the rear bumper. When we picked the vehicle up it was dark because our flight was delayed due to a technical fault with the plane. The RENTSMRT representative advised to take the vehicle & do an inspection of the car in the daylight the next day & if we found any damage not marked on the damage diagram on the contract to take a photo & email it to them. Which i did. On inspection i found both front wheel trims had damage & only was shown on the diagram so sent a photo regarding this. On the diagram the rear bumper was also shown as having been damaged & so i thought the damage on the bumper was known so did not send a photo. Upon return of the vehicle RENTSMRT claimed that i was responsible for this damage & the damage highlighted on the diagram were for some other scratches, & i mean small scratches that i have never known a rental firm ever consider. I know this damage was there when i collected the vehicle & the way they have handled it has left a very bad taste in the mouth & because of this i doubt i will use RENTSMRT again. "

As we had filled the car with fuel and not damaged it in any way he then tried to charge us 25 Euros because the car was dusty externally.

Drivalia only have ONE Tonale on their books at Verona and even though I had booked this vehicle in May/June they still sent it to be "serviced" when it was meant to be available for our collection date. They didn't tell us ahead of the collection date possibly due to the cancellation policy.

I am disputing this and prepared to take legal action should it come to this. I suggest the reception should do a quick check with customer TOGETHER and advise to do a thorough video recording pre-drive off and point out every single defect them can find. Once agreed mark the car diagram sheet together. It's not believable to asked me to pay for the very many defects only after driving for 4 days even considering the potential stone chips on the car which can happen and is waived by all car rentals that I know.

" Through you as the agent! We booked and paid for a large vehicle. Advertised as a LandRover for min 4 people and luggage, plus 4x4 auto (and we have one at home so know the vehicle well). On arrival we were informed they have an alternative - completely inadequate vehicle a new Mercedes SUV. They state they do not even have LandRover as an option. And yet on their website as of today they still advertise them. At the time I was fobbed off by Noleggiare who stated it was your fault and the agency always over promised? I called you for assistance and support to resolve the matter. I was shocked to be told the only 'support & advice' I would get is cancel the vehicle with a £100 cancellation fee, for me? And go and book with another provider. Both elements here were the most poor and shocking customer support I have ever faced. You can now see why the industry has such a shoddy and poor reputation as all was reinforced in my experiences. And lies. Ultimately with the day light running out, a family holiday clock ticking it felt I had no choice but to take the vehicle on offer as that was the best they had. I will provide honest feedback about my experience. Despite complaint at the time I have had no contact except for this generic feedback email.

" Locauto at Verona station was excellent. I only wish I had kept the assistants name, he was excellent, a true professional. He didn't try to upsell anything insurance etc, he spoke amazing English and took us around the car documenting all defects perfectly. He also showed us the basic features of the car which often they do not so. Whilst I appreciate as the renter it is your responsibility to figure these items o it, but they are familiar with all the vehicles so it is appreciated when they take a few minutes to give you a basic rundown. He explained clearly how to return to bring the car back (which at Verona station involves going down the taxi lane). One of the best car rental experiences we have had. Would 100% rent with Locauto again and this is a very good location. I overheard is colleague helping another customer and ethos seemed to be the same. Very impressed. "

We were told that we had incurred damage to the roof of the vehicle, and they were about to keep our deposit when I argued that we didn't have the car during the storms. This makes me think they were waiting for someone that was insured by an external source to lay the blame at. Unfortunately this caused an obvious argument and it wasn't until I said I was calling my partner who was waiting for us along the road, is Italian and lives there, that they realised that we weren't passengers that couldn't argue with them, having a flight to catch. I'm sure they believed we would be rushing for a flight and a prime target to have their 'scam' levelled at.

For these reasons I will continue to use both companies when visiting this beautiful part of Italy "

Picking up/dropping off the car at this station is always hassle free and the standard of vehicles is excellent. Although not always the cheapest, rates are extremely competitive and come with the confidence of knowing you have booked with a reliable and reputable operator. "

We tried on five occasions to call the number given to elicite help in making the urgent last minute changes regarding the return of the car ( see above) on 4 of those, we were cut off half way through the call. On the 5 th occasion I was told that you could not help. In conclusion, I don't think we will use Auto Europe again to book a car hire as there is no onward support. "
" Avis were really helpful and friendly. We did however need to make an emergency change to our return date, ( reduced by one day and to a different Milan Airport.) although able to contact them initially by their automated phone system in English, as soon as the call was put through to the airport, it was picked up in Italian. So we couldn't actually speak to anyone to talk about this prior to the return. However once at the airport, Avis were brilliant. "

" All comments as above. I have no great issue with autoeurope but I'm afraid my overall experience was severely tainted. "
" The key issue is that I paid an extortionate amount (circa £600) for an Opel Corsa which had substantial rear end damage including some plastic panelling rubbing onto the tyre as a result of a previous collision. I fully understand global car shortages and supply versus demand but the price would be extortionate for a pristine car, never mind a badly damaged one. The extent of the damage wasn't expressed clearly at the desk. I also found additional damage which I took extensive video and photos of. So no, no a product of value whatsoever. At the drop off there was no one there for 15 minutes so had to wait. "

That turned out to be 85 Euros instead!! Also my son and I waited for over an hour to have the car. They promised us an upgrade and as a result, rather than a VW Golf they gave us a Fiat 500. What an upgrade!!!

" As per my above comment the original price is great however when you request someone to have another 500.00 a week before they go is disgraceful and forces them into a corner. "
" I was given a great offer at the beginning and was advised on original voucher 300.00 would be required as deposit which was fine and could be budgeted for. A week before I left I received a new voucher stating deposit would now be 800.00 which I hadn't budgeted for. I was offer by Keddy a chance to reduce the deposit to 100.00 if there was an initial 50.00 paid for extra cover however at desk it was an extra 250.00 so I felt this deliberately misled me to gain more money from me. It was false information which led to a great deal of anxiety. If someone never had the extra funds available outwith the original agreement they would be left stranded without a vehicle and out of pocket. I requested 2 car chairs which weren't with the vehicle on pick up which I could understand could be an oversite however when I brought this to the desks attention it took almost 40 minutes to locate these chairs 1 new and another dragged from the back. 40 minute wait at desk while my 2 children were also forced to wait in 35 degree heat.

At 18:00 one of the staff finished work and there were still 4 people in the queue ahead of me. I eventually got to the desk over 1 hour later. During this time the person on duty was constantly being interrupted by the telephone ringing, people returning cars and people who had picked up cars returning to get their documentation updated as the car they had been allocated had problems.

I was 3km away from Garda with two mobility impaired passengers with me. Eventually I removed the engine oil dipstick which revealed NO trace of oil in the engine. I purchased some engine oil and got a receipt for 15euros which was refunded to me at drop off. The windscreen washer bottle was totally empty and had been from the point of pick up. Please note that even with 15euros of oil in the engine only a low trace was evident on the dipstick. Staff at the car hire company said it was due an engine oil change. Had it not been for my action you could have been changing the engine. The experience was totally unsatisfactory and I look forward to your response "

" I have only one small criticism to make relating to the pick up and drop off. When picking up the vehicle late on the Saturday evening I noted some scuffing on the wing mirrors of the car. However, because I had only been given an electronic copy of the rental agreement it was not possible to note the existing damage. The attendant in the rental garage was about to finish work for the day and was either unwilling or did not know how to record the damage apart from suggesting I took some photographs. This was unsatisfactory in my opinion. On returning the vehicle, the attendant (different member of staff) did not inspect the vehicle with me to check for damage which was unusual, in my experience. However, notwithstanding this uncertainty, the drop-off was quick, no-nonsense and friendly. "

" As usual very happy with AutoEurope experience and will be booking with you again soon . However my son (Thomas Coughlan) had a different experience as he chose Global - alias Buchbinder as the supplier - voucher UK 4525135 - He missed his flight due to loss of passport but sent his family ahead on the flight on Sat 28 July . His wife and three children 6, 4 and 1 year old - on arrival at the Global desk - she was first told the contract was cancelled without refund .. after some discussion they relented and agreed to accept her as primary driver but only with full insurance costing 400 Euros - she had no option but to pay as they wouldn't wait for husband to arrive on a later flight and threatened to cancel the contract without any refund . cost of which was over £1,200 . They had no consideration for the plight she was in with 3 kids running riot whilst whilst she was trying to negotiate some acceptable deal. They were very unhelpful and persued an intimating sting on a mother of 3 in a crisis. I had problems with Buchbinder thru yourselves some 3-4 years ago - were they tried to belatedely overcharge me - but you supported us in obtaining a refund for their unauthorised and incorrect deduction- and you said you would not deal with them again - but they have now reappeared as Global ... if you can reply to this you will find me on kcoughlan@btinternet.com .

On arriving in Verona we were advised that the category (same car) was 'compact', that the luggage wouldn't fit but we could pay more for an 'intermediate'. If we had know this at the point of booking it would have influenced our decision to book. We stuck with the car that we had budgeted for. We were given a Mercedes A class, which I notice you advertise as having space for 1 large and 1 small case. We only had 4 passengers, 1 large case 3 small cases. 2 case had to go on the back seat as only one large and 1 small would fit in the boot. If we had arrived with 5 passengers, 2 large cases and 2 small cases, the advertised capacity, we simply would not of fitted in. You are falsely advertising and miss selling. The sat nat was provided without the bracket to mount it so the passenger had to hold it. "
" When booking in the UK we booked a vehicle advertised as 'intermediate'. Peugeot 3008 or similar. Autoeurope website states 2 large suitcase, 2 small, 5 passengers. On arriving in Verona we were advised that the category (same car) was 'compact', that the luggage wouldn't fit but we could pay more for an 'intermediate'.

" Very poor service, long wait, car broke down...... "
" Had to que for 45 mins at Verona car pick up. Car when we booked had free Sat nav which wasn't free and we couldn't find the car as it was in a europacar space. Car battery needed charging on 3rd day as it was flat but local guy came out within 40 mins and was very efficient. "

" Bad experience owing to lack of politeness and training in customer service. Will not hire from Sicily by Car again. "
" Rude unhelpful staff when returning car. 2 women on duty at desk. One dealing with a customer, the other refused to come and inspect the car, told us to wait in the queue. After 20 minutes she decided to inspect car. She was rude and unhelpful. We paid £335 for the car and extra insurance. The car had multiple dents and scratches and the automatic key did not work. We could have paid less but assumed by paying more, we would get a better car. It's about time that staff at car hire at Verona airport had training on how to deal with customers in a helpful and polite manner. We have hired cars in numerous countries and never encounter the problems we have in Verona. Long queues and long waits for service, sometimes as long as an hour! "

" I was not given the car I was expecting. I had booked a Skoda Fabia or similar and was provided with a Dacia Logan. It was much bigger than I needed. The "upgrade" was unnecessary. The parking situation at Verona Airport is awful. The hangar is dark and cramped. There are very few Global/Buchbinder spaces. Having said that, the staff were very efficient and helpful. "

" Not a great experience from your partner at all and I have ended up out of pocket as I filled up the petrol tank before returning it, despite not receiving a full tank when I picked it up "
" Awful car hire company. Arrived and was told I had been 'upgraded' to a bigger car. The car had not been cleaned inside and outside - it was filthy. The petrol also was not full and was missing a bar of petrol. The inventory was not completed corrected and marks on the car were missed (from what I could see through the dirt). The staff at Interrent were not helpful and weren't bothered that the car hadn't been cleaned. I didn't use the boot as I had hand luggage but on he second day of the hire I opened the boot and there was leftover food, including rotting pie that had been left there from the previous users (further evidence it hadn't been cleaned.( "

" Silvia on the desk at Sixt was wonderful. She was friendly and happy, and unlike other car hire companies that give you the hard sell for extra insurance and equipment, Silvia gave the impression she was looking after my best interests. The car was brand new, and the gentleman I returned the car to, was also very friendly and went out of his way to help. What is usually a stressful experience, was actually turned into a pleasure by the amazing staff, in particular, Silvia. "

" I had no issues with Auto Europe or rental process. My issue lies with Maggiore and their inability to be contacted when required!! "
" Although the rental process was simple, my flight was cancelled and I needed to extend my rental for 1 day. I was unable to contact anyone at Maggiore to extend rental. I had to drive all the way to the airport just to be told I can keep the car. This was a waste of a day. "

" You need to ensure the car description is more exact. "
" The car I ordered was a 4 door. We were offered a2 door fiat 500 which the luggage did not fit in. We went back and were given a ds3 which had a bigger boot but still only 2 doors! I would use Sicily again though. "
" Website was easy to use and price very competitive "
" Car was new and clean, no problem on collection or return. Location in common rental area "
" This is a good location as it is very close to the railway station. We had some trouble finding the right road when we were bringing the car back because of roadworks and the instructions given to us were a bit too broad. A quick map of how to navigate the return route from the main road would have been helpful. Otherwise, Maggiore were great "
" Need more staff at desk to speed up collection process. Otherwise good. "
" lovely polite stafff. friendly and efficent also. would definetly use company again "
" Always very competitive rates and good selection of cars! "
" Nobody at Verona airport were aware that Keddy existed. There were no signs and when I asked representatives at Avis they had no idea where Keddy were situated either. Foolishly I started queuing at Auto Europa thinking they were affiliated with Auto Europe. After 40 minutes of waiting I was told that they were not able to help me. I called the number on my booking form to discover that Europcar were dealing with Keddy. Annoyingly these people were right next door to Auto Europa with no queue whatsoever. All in all, over an hour after walking into the Car hire office, I was finally in my car. Clearly if I knew I had to go to the Euopcar desk, my arrival at Verona Airport would've been much smoother. Europcar though, were very helpful! "
" Hi Thanks for the recent booking of the hire car for my trip in Italy. For the majority of my trip I have been very satisfied with the vehicle. I would just like to make a few comments that may improve future customer experience and additionally query my final bill. Locating the desk at the airport was not easy it did not make any reference on the voucher that this was a maggiore rental I ended up going around every desk on the site to eventually find maggiore which took up a lot of time waiting in queues and been treated discourteously.... When I spoke with other rental companies and them telling me that they were not interested. I except that I was sent the name maggiore on an email when I asked for the drop off location but this was not significant enough information. The rental company on the voucher I was sent was ZD ITALY ??? Dropping off the vehicle I see on my invoice that I have been charged for 3 litres of missing fuel. I find this hard to believe as I filled the vehicle up 2.5 miles away from the drop off location. I am a little annoyed by this as I filled the tank on the vehicle in Anterselva then drove to Mestre 130 miles and put firstly 5 in the vehicle then I registered another 10 on the self service and it only took 6.47 ..... I could not get any more fuel in to the vehicle it was completely full!!! So I lost 3 of fuel that I had already prepaid. So I find it hard to believe that taking a trip for 2.5 miles could use 3 litres of diesel on a car that was so economical??? I would investigate the integrity of this claim. Every rental I have ever taken before has been filled in a similar fashion and I have never experienced this before. Finally could you please explain the airport tax? I would just like some information regarding. Apologies if this appears to be a complaint, I am only evaluating your service as I was satisfied with the vehicle and the majority of the aspects of the rental. I hope you can understand this. Regards Nathan "
" First time I have had a problem. I have flown ito Verona many times in the past and thought I knew how it worked. It was not as clear from the booking confirmation that the rental company (Buchbinder) did not have a presence at the airport. The airline pushed the flight back, Buchbinder did not check the amended flight times and their office was closed when we arrived so we were stranded at the airport. We contacted Buchbinder but they were not prepared to assist so we ended up having to hire a car from another operator for a day. "
" It should have been made explicit in the booking confirmation that they did not have a presence at the airport and that their office nearby was not continuously manned. If it had been made clearer, then I am sure that our difficulties could have been avoided. As it was the airline changed their flight times and the flight was delayed. By the time we arrived, their office was closed, and they were not prepared to assist so we were left stranded on a Friday evening at Verona Airport. "
" Initial paperwork took rather a long time. Many questions should have been clear from the initial application. "
" Auto Europe gave me a good choice of rental companies, and booking was quick and easy. "
" Very helpful at reception and the car supplied was excellent and good value. Would definitely use Locauto again. "
" I had no idea that Auto Europe were based in the USA. If you have the misfortune to have to speak to them, expect them to be most abrupt, unhelpful and leave you wishing that you had never made a booking with these people. "
" Booked car for 9am , pre paid and received confirmation. I arrived at 9.55 and waited in a queue for 30mins .When I got to the desk I was told that there was no booking. The reason given - They only allow 1hr to collect your vehicle ,after that the booking is cancelled. Unbelievable !! I only got the car by refusing to leave the front of the queue which was getting very long and people behind were getting frustrated . Please beware - only book if you are confident that your plane will arrive on time , your baggage will be first off the carousel and you can find your way to the car hire office, which is situated in a unit outside .Then prey there be no queue at the desk ! Good luck "
" Auto Europe is always my default for car rental and 99% of the time, I have found the best deals here. As importantly, information is laid out clearly and concisely. "
" The service was good and no fuss made when I stated I have my own annual Excess Insurance. "
" Easy to use site - straight forward search "
" Good value - friendly staff "
" Good choice of cars at reasonable prices "
" Quick and helpful "
" excellent deal! "
" excellent experience and car , the car was brand new! "
" The experience was completely trouble-free, from the booking process through to picking up, driving and returning the vehicle. "
" The ony problem (very minor) was finding 'Smile', the location of which was identified by a very small notice at the Maggiore desk. From then on, the staff were helpful and the paperwork process was easy. "
" Normally have the best prices. "
" Car was dirty inside, covered in scratches and bumps, almost embarrassing to drive it around, windscreen wipers in awful conditions, when was raining I couldn't see anything. "
" Auto Europe have a clear and efficient website system which works well. Good communications. Great prices. "
" Very straightforward process. Since we had paid up in advance including insurance and no excess etc there was nothing else to pay - other suppliers have tried to impose more charges locally on us but not this time. The car was ready, did exactly what is was supposed to, and the handovers at both ends of the arrangement were easy. The customers at Hertz, Europcar etc were still standing at the desk when we drove past. Awesome. "
" Easy booking system, good rate. "
" Easy pickup and drop off. No Queues. Someone met us at drop off and checked car while we waited. Very efficient. "
" We're used Auto Europe many times and have always found the website easy to book rental cars and a very easy and at a competitive rate. Also when ut was necessari to contact you be phone for a query the staff were most friendly & helpful. "
" Our 1st time using Maggiore, friendly & efficient staff at the counter AND a free upgrade too! "
" Fantastic service from both sets of customer service representatives "
" Excellent deal, excellent people, excellent service, excellent car. No fuss. "
" Excellent deal, excellent people, excellent service, excellent car. No fuss. "
" Online booking - no direct contact. Car as expected. Non issues so far, lets hope the hire company think the same and I get noextra charges "
" Not too easy to find them, poor signage, not clear part of Hertz desk "
" Trouble Free ! "
" Great, nice car too. "
" The booking process and confirmations emails etc, met my expectations. "
" Upon arrival we were told there are no cars in the class we had ordered available so we were offered a smaller car or a larger car. We decided on the larger but we were left disappointed as the cigarette lighter did not work which meant we could not use our GPS. We then had to ask for a replacement car but was only offered a car smaller than what we had paid for. After a "discussion" we were eventually offered a suitable replacement, for which I thank you. However, you had a request of our order in advance so I would expect to be offered the car we requested or a larger one; I do not expect to be offered a car that was too small for us and our luggage. Thank you for your interest. "
" Good value. "
" Local operator Locauto provided an impeccable service. Friendly and there was no waiting to pick up/deliver the car. Highly recommended. "
" No option in booking form for snow tyres which we needed for driving in mountainous region., Local rental station told us we should have prebooked these. We were able to upgrade on payment to a vehicle with winter tyres but payment was more than we would have expected and increased rental cost considerably. Local agent helpful and vehicle satisfactory except that window washer pump did not work - no car should be rented out without window washer working.l Windscreen gets filthy on motorway at all times. On the plus side the actual booking was straightforward, contact by phone with Auto Europe helpful and so I would use again but would check out by phone for any special unlisted requests. "
" See above ref non-working windscreen washer. Local garage diagnosed pump failure (water tank was full) but I was on holiday with limited time so had to manage using bottled water to keep windscreen clear/clean.. "
" Good customer service but problem with small print in terms and conditions dealt with unfairly I thought. "
" No problems "
" All fine .. easy to deal with ... telephone reps generally know their business "
" Tried to give us a Golf Cabrolet with restricted boot - which we declined - as we needed to put on board luggage and skies and ski gear - so then they gave us a Opal Astra estate car - which was fine - had a few knocks and bumps on it after having done some 82,000 k . But it ran well and the winter tyres were a godsend - being that we were travelling to and staying in the Dolomites. So in the end can't fault it. We will def use them again. "
" Booking all done through the internet, very helpful and efficient service, which included us switching our holiday dates due to changes made by our travel agent . Philip Craft "
" Fantastic, polite, friendly and efficient service both at pick up and drop off. Philip Craft "
" easy to use value for money "
" hustle free "
" Very transparent in how they do their business. It will be good if they can remind customers that they need to bring their credit cards as a deposit in case of eventualities. "
" Good with people and will explain all you need to know. "
" On-line booking was quick and easy, but not all charges were clearly mentioned. We were forced to give flight times and numbers eventhough we didn't arrive by plane. Otherwise we were very satisfied with your service. "
" Good company, good cars, good service. The only problem is their location few km from the airport, very difficult to find withouth gps. "
" Your side is just fine. The new website layout showing the car options and who from is excellent. Keep it up! "
" I've never had such a bad experience with a hire car company in 30 years. I booked a VW Passat Estate because I had 3 adults & 2 babies + gear. I had a car with Locauto in April and that was fine. When I returned it, I checked again that they understood the requirement and would allocate the right car; they said they did. When we arrived, late evening, they only had a Mercedes B Class, which is smaller. Their argument was that it was 'in the same category'. I had no choice and it was a nightmare. Also, the car was very battered, even for Italy. In the gloom of the car park, it was impossible to check the car for so many scratches and dents. On return, they claimed I'd added a small scratch and charged me 200! I have written to their HQ... "
" Great service, very helpful and knowledgeable staff. "
" great car, helpful staff and no problems when dropping off! "

" Good service, although the vehicle had suffered some additional damage to that identified on the paperwork on pick-up, the desk was very quick to amend and sign-off. "
" Very efficient easy to deal with "
" Our only problem was that the car did not have winter tyres which we were told were compulsory in the mountain area of Italy. The man at the desk spoke very good english and was extremely helpful "
