We waited over 2.5 hours to get the car, far too long. There was no explanation as why this was and it would have been good to have received a warning.

Very smooth experience. We had some difficulty picking up the car as no staff were available at the actual area with cars but we found it eventually

Pas de soucis particulier. Il ont essayé (sans insister) de nous vendre une assurance complémentaire en nous disant que celle proposée par easyrentcar était une assurance française qui ne couvrait pas tous.

Europecar offered me Fiat 500L instead of Renault Megane or any other with similar size of trunk. Fiat has 450 liters trunk, but every other car on list of similar cars has more than 500 (520-550) liters trunk. So I was forced to pay over 150 euro extra for a Seat Leon with automatic transmission (they had only Fiats in this class of cars), because I was not able to pack my luggage to Fiat 500L. There were some other issues like for example no spare wheel in the car, or any tyre repair kit, what I found after couple of days. Luckily I didn't need it. You have to carefully inspect the car, because half of scratches are not on the list of damages in the document you get. Europecar has now totally different way of doing business, comparing with my previous experience with this company.

je rends ma voiture au comptoir extérieur sur le parking et la personne en charge constate une rayure de moins d’1 cm sur le pare choc avant gauche de la voiture (rayure non mesurée à l’aide de la réglette généralement utilisée dans ces cas là). La rayure était sans doute là au départ, mais personne pour le constater à ce moment là… On me dit que la voiture était neuve, mais non puisqu’elle a 3500 km au compteur donc déjà plusieurs locations. Cette personne me dit pour finir : ne vous inquiétez pas, il s’agit juste de le signaler, vous n’aurez probablement rien à payer, signez ici. Puis au comptoir dans l’aéroport, après 5 minutes de manipulation de l’ordinateur, une autre personne m'édite une facture de 273,30 euros. 273,30 euros donc pour une rayure de moins d’un cm. D’où sort ce chiffre ? Je ne le saurai pas. On me dit : mais monsieur vous avez signé, c’est donc que vous acceptiez le montant à payer. Un numéro savamment orchestré donc entre les deux protagonistes Europcar. Voici 30 ans que je loue des voitures dans le monde entier et jamais ça ne m’était arrivé et c’est tout à fait scandaleux.

When dropping off the car they immediately found some almost invisible very small dent which is invisible to the untrained eye. It wass dent (not a scratch) of maybe 0,5mm over 5cm. For sure it must have been on the car when I picked it up. Anyway I had to pay 295 EUR for damages while I never had any damage caused myself.

I have emailed in a complaint which is city being dealt with . Almost an hour and a half waiting at the desk to pick up. Vehicle was not cleaned outside. They charged me 35 euros penalty to put less than 20 euros of fuel back in on return. A fee which I was not informed big when picking up the car. I couldn't find a station close to the airport on return and since I only used the car to drive to my hotel and back I thought I'd tell them I didn't put any petrol in and simply pay to replace what I'd used. Very poor customer service. Very sneaky not to have told me this especially when they covered the other details with me leaving that part out.

Very pushy on selling additional insurance! I have ended up buying one as i was put in panic mode by the agents behind the counter. First car developed a problem after four days , phoned assistance and i ended up doing a 120 miles round trip back to Palermo to swap vehicle! All to my expenses. Second car, after only 60 miles, needed a full tank of adblue. Wont use them again.

They sold an insurance that was not neccesary, a complete scam, they did not answer the phone, impossible to contact them, they didn´t allow to change the time of drop off, TERRIBLE COMPANY, THE WORST EXPERIENCE I´VE EVER HAD WITH A CAR COMPANY.

Did not have the car that I requested. They said that Fiat 500 is too popular amongst thieves hence they gave us crappy Kia Picanto. The car was new but the motor was too small and not powerful enough. The pick up location is 10 minutes drive from Palermo airport. We had to call the pickup location and wait for 20 minutes to be collected. Then we spent another 30 minutes waiting for the car. All in all an average experience.

3hour wait with children is unacceptable

Extremely disappointed with the pick-up experience, had to queue (standing) for over 2 hours to pick up the car, no apology offered for waiting so long in line, by the time I got the keys and picked up the car it was close to 3 hours, I was only on vacation for 6 days so to have to spend almost 3 hours picking up a car rental would make me not want to use your service again if this is the acceptable level of service hertz is happy with. Since almost all rentals these days are pre booked and flight details given I can't understand why there would be a better system in place so people don't have to waste time standing in line for hours. I was so unhappy with this service, wouldn't use again.

The car was quite damage and I was not very happy considering that I needed it for a wedding. Also I had a warning light about "changing the oil immediately" not ideal when We were going around Sicily. The wipes were terrible and they were not cleaning the screen at all. At some point I had to stop and buy some cloths and window cleaner because with the sun I was not able to see. The roof was playing up and in various time it stayed open.

We waited for more then an hour to pick up our car and the then the desk staff were grumpy and made me feel that I was making a big mistake not taking out their insurance. They told me that my own insurance wasn’t good enough and that I would definitely be paying some money to them by the end of my trip. They told me ‘good luck driving here’.

Avoid Optimorent (Autovia)! E.g. when you take away the car they tell you to touch with your fingers (!!) the bottom edge of the car for scratches. When you return they will blame you for minor scratches and try to steal extra money from you. If you can not avoid them, make detailed video on all parts of the car. Use mirror to check the bottom edge of the car. Is it funny? No, you will not laugh when they blame you for ‘damages’. They seem to be cheap but they will be very expensive at the end. Use other rental company to avoid problems!

Green Motion is an absolute scam in how they run their business. When we dropped the car off they went out of their way to find an issue with the car, and they did. We were charged an additional 81 euros for a hub-cap scratch. A scratch that I don’t think we did. We couldn’t argue much with them because we were off site and most likely they would not taken us back to the airport if we created an issue. Complete crooks!

The car was great. The windscreen needed a clean but the interior was very clean. I chose them because the other car providers at Palermo airport had horrible reviews. They were very above board and drop off was so easy. The lady at drop off (sorry forgot her name! Started with an M) was so lovely.

Upon arrival and pickup in the airport, the fellow at the desk really tried to push a lot of unnecessary extras such as fill up option, upgrade to larger car and extra insurance at us which we declined. The folks outside at the pickup and dropoff both were very kind and curtious.
