We booked a famous Michelin restaurant in Positano, and if we didn't arrive on time, we would be fined 30 euros per person. We went to pick up the car at 9 am as scheduled, but were told there was no car and we'd have to wait until 11 am. When we went back at 11 am, there was still no car. The whole day passed without a car, and we missed our restaurant reservation. The store staff offered no solutions that wouldn't cost us, and when it was his lunch time, he just left. Our two-day rental was ruined the first day, and we were fined 210 euros by the restaurant. The next day, there was still no car! We immediately switched to a new company and things got better. We booked a two-day full insurance rental but haven't gotten any refund till now. The car we rented temporarily cost as much as our original two-day booking, and we were still fined by the restaurant. Really want to cry.
AVIS and Budget share the same counter. There were quite a few people picking up cars at Rome airport, and I waited for almost an hour. The car was in good condition, and returning it was even easier. Since the fuel was used up, the return desk just took the keys and signed off, and we were good to go. Very convenient.
Good day,
I was suppose to pick up an automatic Audi A1, all wheel drive, 4 drs but none were available, so they try to rent me a Volvo for an extra 5 euro /day or a BMW for an extra 15 euro/day. I told them that the reason I book from you and from home with the super cover was for the reason I didn’t not want to pay more....so they offer the smart for 4 and it was the only auto left for the same price after what it seemed hours, I finally told them that a standard was fine. So they gave me an standard Peugeot 308, front wheel drive with summer tires and charge me an extra 38 Euro for the tires snow chains because we were heading to Roccamorice in the province of Pescara.
We were basically stuck in town for 10 days, because of the snow , the vehicle was useless in those conditions and the snow chains were just a waist of time and $. We actually used my sister’s vehicle ( a small GM spark with winter tires on).
On the way back to the airport on January 14 ( 2:30 hours trip), It was very stressful because the highway to Rome from Pescara was icy and very dangerous to about 30 minutes from Rome.
