The vehicle was disgusting. The vehicle seats were soaking wet, severely stained, there was a lot of exterior damage, the air conditioner did not always cool the car, the rear drivers side window was broken and would not open, the car was dirty and smelled. We waited a very long time to be served, then for the car, and then when we complained about the wet seats, damage, broken window, smell, etc we were given garbage bags and hotel pillowcases to sit on that looked used and were told there was nothing else they can do. We had no choice but to take this disgusting vehicle to move on with our trip.

The vehicle reserved for pick up was sitting at the location days before my arrival as I pre checked in and was notified it was there. Upon arrival, I waited an hour before it was my turn, to then be told the car that was sitting filthy in the street was the car for me but the previous driver returned it wish front damage. The car was dirty, not cleaners and damaged. I expressed my disappointment and frustration that if this location had this car sitting there days before my arrival damaged, why wasn’t another car made available especially since I needed this car for 7 weeks. I was told since I needed an automatic there wasn’t anything he could do. But I waited until 1PM he has an automatic coming. I waited from 10AM to 1 PM for my car. This car arrived damaged and dirty. The damages were noted in the paper. I left and tried to switch out the car wjth the other Rime location. Again, automatic economy car. I was told due to the high demand nothing was available. I drove an suv non economical vehicle for 7 weeks. I attempted again to swap out the car and could not. When the car was returned, I was charged 2 different times plus damages and over mileage. All of which did not reflect my contract. My experience was extremely disappointing and would never again do business with this company..

It is not worthy, They didn’t allowed to be at the counter before the booking time starts even there were nobody. no clear instructions to drop off at MXP, ended up paying 10€ extra for going into car drop off parking lots but hertz drop off was near Sheraton hotel. Took 3 hours to find it. Ended up paying much more than actual booking cost in total

The price i got on internet was much more expensive when i got the car. This is not my first time i rent a car but it is the first time i pay that much for the basic insurance. I usually buy the full insurance but i found out it it would cost me tripple for that. Rental fee was about 150 euros and the insurance was about 300 euros.Very strange! I feel something is wrong.

Very poor customer service! I end up paying 300 Euro extra coverage with Surprise rental although I have already paid for full coverage when I booked with Kayak! They didn't accept any debt card or cash with my approval of credit card authorization, they asked to block 1600Euro on my card as a condition,! I have never seen this anywhere in Europe! I rent a car every year everywhere for the last 30 years ans i have never experienced such a complicated process! Therewas no variation of cars except a tiny fiat 500 which was too small for my family and I, although I have booked a medium size online! Also, Kayak online booking experience wasvery poor cause they end up witha double booking with enterprise car rental a d I lost all my down payment

Here's my mailing just from now with VIP cars, you can understand how was it: When trying to call Enterprise from the airport and from the train (never answers on the site) I clearly mentioned I will arrive few minutes after 13:00pm. Never told you 1.5h, don't know where this came from. 1. They moved to bizarre place arround the atation, into hotel, on a roof, around the roof, walking on the road with no pavement or how to roll the suitcases. For sure mature people would find it very difficult to arrive there and handle this difficult way, not to mention handicapped people, so many stairs with suitcases. 2. No one mentioned any directions to this bizarre place. No sign where to turn or any guidance. It felt like ESCAPE ROOM. Find Enterprise car rental. This alone cost us 20 minutes, and also because we were sharp and physically in shape! 3. I repeat myself again, why they never answered to me? To you? To mails? No phone call was answered, why? Why haven't they called us??? 4. Give me a break! Completing the papers, takes more than 15 minutes, no one was there completing any papers with anyone and handing them our car. CAR WAS NEVER THERE AT FIRST PLACE. 5. Many people came after us, and most of them if not all, had arguing with the representatives since no car was handed to them either. A Spanish couple stood there on the sun getting mad by rhetoric answers and going with no car. The site has problem with cars not related specifically to our case. 6. I would be more tolerant if anyone there would have been more helpful, with real intentions, or admitting at least they never had the car, or trying to upgrade with some extra money - anything, it would felt better. The representatives, to my opinion, was already fed by so many customers complaints from the last week of the holidays, and could barely handle more issues, like when we arrive, hence answers become rhetoric and automatic with zero understanding or trying to help. Then I called from the site to you, 30 minutes with a lady, she tried to help, she was smart and tried seeking a solution. However, you're not the car rental on the site, what can you do if they don't cooperate with you, and you have no influence! Then, she clearly said she will refund me. Listen to the phone conversation. I am saying again, we already had hotels booked and lost time, needed to take extra night in Barcelona, we didn't expect to stay, it was highly expensive due to last minute on holidays, plus taxis back and forth. Plus wasting full day on searching for another car. This all will be issued as a law procedure by my family lawyer. For sure Enterprise service would be known to anyone I know. So, don't tell me about 2 info's, since I know exactly what hell of a day was that, and it's implications.

Car was not what I had booked-ad was for a Citroen midsize SUV Received an opel cross lander instead When I got to the vehicle I noticed it had multiple scratches on it So I took a video of the exterior of the car just in case. I should have gone back to the counter and asked for a different car but was tired and wanted to get on the road. When dropping the car off. the agent found a scratch that was not on the vehicle inspection I did not hit or damage the car while I had it. No one looked at the car when I was picking it up. The scratch could have happened while parked in the rental lot prior to my picking up the car? But it did not happen while I was in use of the car I refused to sign any paperwork assuming responsibility for any damage to the car.

How does it make sense to charge for extra drivers? There should be one price for two drivers. Also why does a physical card need to be presented when technology provides a more secure and flexible way of transacting? Fixing those two would have resulted in a perfect score. The attendants at pickup and drop off were very helpful and patient.

When placing the rental there should have been specific instructions that the rental office was not at the same location as where the cars were. We rolled/carried our luggage to Ognissanti only to find out that the cars were back at the train station. Also, no instruction that you had to secure a numbered ticket to be waited as the line was out the door and no one stated to do so.
