OK Everybody I really want this to be shared with everyone you know. We picked up a car in Milan…read moreItaly I had a reservation and the amount was $1060. I had intended to use my visa that had a rental car coverage and refused the coverage from Budget/Avis. When I got to the counter the woman behind it told me that Italy did not allow you to use rental car insurance from your Visa. Which was an outright lie and of course I didn't know it at the time. So I accepted insurance which raised the bill by $700. When I turned the car in in Verona I was told by the agent there but that wasn't true and that if I were to rent a car from them and wanted to use my rental car coverage on my Visa, that was between me and my bank. I was livid. A car that was supposed to cost us $1060 cost us $1700. The agent in Verona made €100 adjustment but that was the best she could do. When I picked up a car in Inverness also Budget/Avis as I had made these reservations at home I would never have gone to them again. The agent there also told me that wasn't true and that she had never heard of such a thing. I used my visa coverage there and that is documented as well .On my return home I contacted Budget /Avis With a well documented complaint and said I wanted the money refunded that I fraudulently "was talked into" By a lie! I have gotten absolutely nowhere. They send me a copy of the rental agreement with the insurance signed. Of course it was ,that is not the issue. The issue is coercion and fraud by their agent in Milan to Out right lie. I am still livid and I am not done. I am going to look into small claims court to cause nothing but a headache more than likely to that company, but I am not going to just let this go. The moral of the story is, do not use budget or Avis for rental cars. They do not honor their customers or back them up when an employee has fraudulently given information that cost the customer considerably more money than it should have.

Of course the SUV didn't have a cargo cover so our suitcases would be exposed when we parked. Only equal or bigger sedan Sixt claimed to have was a BMW 5 for an up-sell of 200+ Euros. Total cost ended up being more than a premium vehicle from Avis or Hertz. When they brought out the car, it had giant Lift stickers on the front and back windows. Had to drive this around for a week. Never Sixt again!

The price was reasonable, fair and they also had an automatic. When we arrived, unfortunately, the woman the day before, had crashed her rental vehicle so we were given an upgrade to a nice automatic BMW. After signing the papers, inspecting the vehicle, we were out the door in less than 30 minutes. In fact, when we returned the vehicle, within less than 5 minutes, they were kind enough to have a shuttle bus take my family and I directly to the Milano airport. There are no hidden charges and service is exceptional. Will use this rental company only in the future and highly recommend them. They are an excellent, honest and transparent company that really does care about their customers.

Zero stars! My disappointing Avis experience: After originally declining all additional insurance…read moreand other optional services during my online reservation with AutoEurope, the lady at the Avis check-in counter at the Milan Central train station location had apparently added every optional add-on possible to my reservation and when she showed me the contract to sign, she only showed me the Italian contract and failed to show me the translated version. When I questioned her about why the amount was so high, she told me it was due to the deposit that would go on my credit card for the vehicle. Having rented several cars from several different companies, this made sense to me and I signed the digital forms so that I could be on my way. Upon arriving to the dislocated garage to pick up my vehicle, I was told I would be getting an SUV as the car I had reserved was not available. Because of the total distance and small Italian roads I would be driving, I asked if I could change to something smaller and more economical. The gentleman in the garage were super friendly and helpful and after a phone call, they got me into a Fiat 500 (their smallest car) which had not yet been cleaned from the last rental. After 1 day of driving, I realized that this tiny car wasn't suitable for all the highway driving I would be doing, so I was able to stop at the Marco Polo Airport near Venice and the helpful staff there got me into a larger more suitable Fiat for the remainder of my trip. At the end of my 8 day trip, I returned my vehicle without any additional damage, and with a full tank of gas. The friendly man at the return lot said the car looked perfect and asked me to sign a receipt that was 3 times more than my original AutoEurope reservation! Obviously confused, I politely declined to sign and he kindly directed me to the Avis desk inside the Bari Airport. Once inside the lady at the desk showed me the English translated version of my rental agreement and I found out that all the "Requested Optional Extras" that I originally declined online and never offered again had all been added when I picked up the vehicle. These extras included a "Group upsell", "damage waiver", "windscreen protection", "theft protection", "Fuel up front", and "Additional products". Once again, I never requested these, nor was I even given the option to accept or decline these options. The lady at the desk inside the Bari Airport refused to help me with my complaint because it was "A different office that sold me the contract" and told me to call/email corporate if I had a problem. I have since contacted Avis and have only been given a case number and told to wait up to 30 days for a response. I've rented with Hertz, National, Alamo, and EuropCar. I even hold VIP status with two of them and have never been scammed into extras like this before. Avis should be ashamed of the service I received on this trip and I regret not sticking with EuropCar for my entire stay in Europe who at least had the decency to try to sell me extra insurance to my face instead of slapping them on behind my back. Avoid this Avis at all costs!

I booked a van through Rental Cars, looking for the cheapest option which was Avis. Pick up in…read moreMilan. Total cost for the rental is 352.76€. A few days after I returned the car, I noticed Avis deducted 1321.63 euros from my visa card without any notification or message. This brings the total cost of this 4 days rent on 1674, 39 euros. This is completely unexpected and I was completely astonished since this is so extreme and feels fraudulent, misleading and unacceptable. What happened? I picked up the car on Friday morning June 28, at 8:30am. The lady at the desk was very friendly and asked me if I wanted an insurance. I told her I took a Full Protection insurance through Rental Car. She replied that that kind of insurance is of no value and is not helping at all. She could offer me a full protection ( 'a real one') for only 40 euros a day. She would send a mail to the other insurance of Rental Cars to cancel it so I would have that money back. She convinced me and I was really happy with her support in having a real insurance and canceling my other one which - according to her - was fake. She asked me to sign on a screen a few times so all was ok for the insurance. Before leaving she told me she would send all by mail and I saw the mail already coming in while driving the car to pick up my friends. I didn't check since I was with friends in the mountains the whole weekend. I brought back the car on Tuesday morning at 9am. So I used the car from Friday June 28th 9 am up to Tuesday July 2 at 9am which is exactly 4 days. A couple of days I saw a deduction of Avis for 1321,63 euros. I was completely shocked and assumed it was a mistake. I tried to call Avis a couple of times, didn't work, always waiting music. I went to the office where I picked up the car ( central station Milano). I asked her what exactly had happened. The lady of Avis was very annoyed, saying that I had signed and that it is my problem. When I stated that I was told the insurance was only 40 euros, she told me I must have heard that wrong and that is only a net amount. Which is 100% not true. She didn't care and for her it is what it is and gave me an overview of costs in Italian. Contacted customer Service - zero help or understanding. The only conclusion must be that Avis is a scam company that has policies to trick the customers. How can anyone explain that an initial rent of 352,76€ ends in a total cost of 1674, 39 euros? Yes, I have signed but in good faith that Avis was honest and wanted to help me. For the money for the 'fake' insurance of Rental Cars that your employee claimed had sent a mail to cancel (since 'if you cancel before the start of the rental you have your money back') I didn't see any mail or refund. I rent almost every month a car and never had a situation like this before. I am very disappointed in this misleading and fraudulent way of working.

Be careful when you rent a car from Enterprise at the Milan Malpensa Airport Terminal 1!…read more I deliberately chose the "refill upon return" option when I rented our Citroen Diesel out of Milan Malpensa airport because it was the most economical option, and their rental rates are extremely high right now. During the 2-week trip, we kept seeing a dashboard message about AdBlue which we did not understand and no one at Enterprise told us about. It turns out that AdBlue is a Diesel additive for "greener diesel emissions" and if you run out of AdBlue the car will fail to start. Luckily my wife googled the message before we ran out. We found a filling station that could fill up the AdBlue tank for about €17. Had we not done this, we would have been stranded somewhere and clueless about why the car failed to start. It turns out that the AdBlue tank only needs a refill every 10k miles, so clearly the Enterprise folks were negligent in keeping the tank filled. They have admitted no fault but agree to reimburse os the €17 if I provide an itemized receipt (not sure I got one from the station attendant so I might be out the €17). Also, I diligently filled the fuel tank before returning the car to Malpensa airport. However, I then ran into a huge traffic jam and had to circle the airport 3 times to find the Enterprise return lot (signage for this is really bad). Hence, the fuel gauge was down ever so slightly from full when the attendant checked the car over and she insisted on charging me a €50 fee and about €20 for the missing fuel (not sure how she was able to calculate that) despite my showing her the receipt from the gas station just 45 minutes prior. I sent Enterprise a letter complaining about the above and their reply was, and I'll paraphrase here, "TOO BAD". Just be aware of all of this if you rent from Enterprise at Malpensa. They are out for profit ONLY and don't give a hoot about fairness to the customer.

They are equally responsible in their total disassociation in dealing with a customer service complaint through their 3rd party rental companies. I rented a car in Milan with my children in tow to explore Italy for my 50th birthday. On day 8, I was pick-pocketed and along with that included my car key.... this was at 10pm at night mind you and I was an 1 1/2 away from my rented apartment to explore Sorrento for the day. I was told no one could come and help me for 3 hours and/or the next morning. No one spoke English... I was hung up on simply because of this.... I was yelled at for godsakes. No one offered to bring me a replacement car either that night or the next day. I was forced (in order to protect me and my children) to pay for a $440 hotel night to wait for a tow service... which NEVER showed up. I was then forced to rent from Budget Rental Car ... thank GOD for friends stateside that could help me get back on the road. NEVER EVER EVER rent from these people. NEVER EVER EVER rent from Enterprise ROADSIDE assistance NEVER called me back. THEY never even reported the car issue to Locauto and/or Enterprise. When I got back to the States I called Enterprise 3 TIMES requesting someone to PLEASE call me to discuss my experience. NO ONE Ever called me back. Today I reached the 'escalation' department and was told they could not communicate with me. They washed their hands completely of this ... told me I could only communicate w/ Locauto and ONLY via email. Let me tell you this... they are unable to understand a thing on email.. .even worse than on the phone. If you're traveling internationally --- Don't go HERE. Talk to your friends. Family. Use Budget or Hertz... NOT ENTERPRISE. They will obviously not be there for you after it's all said and done. Truly Awful... Disappointed and discouraged.
