Renting a car in a foreign country is nothing short of an adventure- I'd say renting in Italy is…read moreone of the most time consuming of all. From begging the rental clerks to do an inspection of the vehicle exterior to ensure they don't try to blame you for existing dings and scratches to returning the car, it can literally take hours! The wait isn't really the issue though. To avoid lengthy times and additional confusion do come prepared with your documents and definitely reserve your car online in advance and always go directly through the rental agency, not a third party website, but this applies to any and all rental agencies you're looking to rent from. Two stars for charging us for an empty tank of gas for our stolen vehicle. Yep- our car was stolen just outside of Bari and they did of the courtesy of charging us for a full tank of gas plus a late fee for a car that we clearly were not going to return. Is their fault the car was stolen? No. But their customer service is completely lacking. It's took us two hours in line to give back the car keys, Drop off our police report and yes, get charged to refuel a stolen vehicle.

Line was absurd both for the rent and for the return. My cheapness got the best of me again.read more

Brutal Service and experience at the Bari Airport location. They charge late fees for picking up…read morethe car late, even after you already paid. This was the first stop on our vacation and were greeted by a lot of stress from an attendant was rude, lazy, and deceitful. We tried at all hours of the day to inform them of the change in arrival time and could not get through because nobody picked up the phone, nor is there an answering machine. When we arrived and explained our situation, the attendant was unhelpful, and preferred to lay blame on the online booking company instead, I even showed the attendant that the agreement said to call the location office. Because I had already paid for the car I was entitled to rent the car, but then were exploited by the attendant would not release it, without forcing us to pay further. She wouldn't even give us her name. And while we were there we saw the phone go ignored a number of times. Poor experience at Autovia. And would not rent from them again. Their desk attendants make it difficult for customers, even after you follow their instructions.

These people are beyond crooked. I paid in full for a car from them through rentalcars. They told…read moreme they had no record of this when I arrived so I had no choice but to pay for the car again. I returned the car early and was told my credit card would be credited. That never happened either. Then the bill is through AUTONOLEGGIO AUTO EURO so my credit card company would not credit me because it was to a third party payer. They have dishonesty down to a science. DO NOT rent a car through them.

Upon arrival, the baggage claim area lacked the basics. For a small airport, it had one restroom…read morewith two stalls and a vending machine. But, there wasn't any food inside the baggage claim area. After an early flight from Milan, I was looking for a snack. I was out of luck. The departure area was much different. The ticket area is small but has all plenty of options to grab a bite. Not to mention, once inside the gate, there are many areas to sit and plug in before your flight. Overall, the airport is clean and convenient.

Andrea is the worse guy u can ever meet in this business…read more Its unacceptable how unprofessional, rude, and bad persone can work with customers service. For some reason he doesn't like Turist and he didn't accept my American documents even if the GoldCar company told him too. He made me understand that I needed to give him 100€ tips if I wanted the car. Please be very careful with this person. If you want problems this is the right place to go. Here a pic of him. You can tell how he doesn't care at all about their guests.

I am disgusted and will never rent from SIXT in any country. Especially not Italy. Today my receipt shows a 200 euro premium charge? I had a flat Tire and they instructed me to taxi (130 euro) to closest city to get another car. I don't have to pay premium for their choices. I never got reimburse for the taxi either and yes I paid highest coverage insurance.
