What could go wrong with this place. Flight was delayed by 4 hours and they gave our car up. Made us upgrade and way overpriced. We prepaid so the car should have been on property. Will never rent here again. They are associated with NextCar. Beware

They did not accept our insurance, it was not mentioned on there web site that they only accept certain insurances. They wanted to charge us 149.00 plus tax to get their insurance and we only renting the car for less then 24 hours. Needless to say we left without a car. We have a name brand insurance company that would cover us for a rental car. We were not the only ones upset with them while we were there. DO NOT BOOK A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY YOU WILL LEAVE VERY DISAPPOINTED

Do not rent. The reason your car is cheap is because they steal money from so many people. Just run a search for reviews. They knowingly and intentional misled me about my booking, and then took the money. When I called to complain, they knew exactly what I was talking about, without even looking at anything and kept telling me, it’s just how it is. They take money and deal with unhappy people all day. That’s the business model and that’s why your car is cheap. Go somewhere else.

Bad. Thieves in Lisbon. Do not rent here! They let you sign for full tank and part on reserve. You have to insist on inventory of scratches. Agressive to clients. Very bad experience and expensive. Choose a reliable renstal. NEVER surprise. Exactly what They are: an expensive surprise!

Worst company I have ever used!!! 1 star is 1 to many. Had two bad cars, they did not answer office phone, the QR code for roadside assistance did not work, the phone number for roadside assistance did not work, Staff in Florance was rude ... and many more examples of a bad experience.

Please, if you care about your money and your well-being when on vacation or business, do not rent a car with this company. First, when we arrived in Porto, I called the number provided for the shuttle bus. Nobody answer. We waited and tried for more than 30 minutes, until the Van drove by and I got to stopped them. During the trip, I had a few questions about returning the car earlier. No one answers, I tried via text message, and only got a response the next day. I booked online, and the reservation was for pick up in Porto and return in Lisbon. At the end of the trip, I found out that I was being charged an extra fee of 225 euros, for returning it in Lisbon. I questioned it, because my reservation already said where I would pick it up and return it and it did not inform that an extra fee would be charged on top of the amount I paid on the reservation. When the guy in Lisbon came to check the car, he found a small scratch on the wheel, which was already been indicated by my friend to the staff in Porto, but the guy didn't put it in the contract, but the video made by me, has my friend telling him about this scratch and he knowledge and said that was nothing to worry . When he showed me the contract, I noticed his contract was not the same as mine, signed by me and which I had in my hands my copy. But his copy had a lot of things added after I signed. I said that this was fraud, as the contract had been altered after it was signed by me. But he didn't really care, he said I should complain to his boss. And for this small scratch on the wheel, I would be charged 275 Euros, as I did not purchase insurance with them. I paid with my Visa. I have already requested an investigation with Visa for contract fraud, contract tampering, Scam, double charged. Waiting for Visa to be respond and I will be able to also take legal action.

I rented a car from Surprice and found it was more costly than I expected. The sad thing is that I arrived back to be told that my costly deposit would be returned within 14 days yet read on the paperwork it would be 25 working days. Having returned on the 26th july I still haven’t received my refund. This company don’t respond to emails and are happy to steal your money . Fraudulent promise of a refund of your hard earnt money . Stay away

A Frustrating Experience with SurPrice Car Rental - Avoid at All Costs! I recently had an unfortunate experience with SurPrice car rental that left me frustrated and disappointed. I feel compelled to share my story to warn others about their questionable practices. Our ordeal began when our original flight from the UK was delayed by a full 24 hours. Understandably, this forced us to explore alternative flight options. We promptly informed SurPrice of our situation and inquired about the possibility of picking up the car outside of their normal operating hours. The gentleman we spoke to over the phone was polite and accommodating, and he mentioned a reasonable additional cost of 100 euros for the after-hours service, which we found acceptable given the circumstances. Ultimately, we managed to secure an alternate flight that allowed us to arrive at the car rental location well in advance of their closing time. However, our shock came when we were hit with an unexpected late arrival fee of 85 euros. This fee was imposed because we arrived more than 3 hours later than our original booking time, despite the fact that our reservation was fully paid for, and we were well within SurPrice's regular business hours. To our bewilderment, the two gentlemen at the rental desk were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for this charge. They repeatedly referred to a supposed "3-hour late rule" as grounds for imposing the fee, even though it was clear that they had not incurred any additional costs due to our arrival time. We had proactively informed SurPrice of our anticipated late arrival on multiple occasions prior to our flight, yet they chose to exploit our situation, which unfolded late at night, with two exhausted children in tow and no immediate recourse through the third-party booking company. In light of this experience, I strongly advise anyone considering renting a car from SurPrice to think twice. Their opportunistic practices and unjustified fees have left a sour taste in my mouth, and I would encourage travelers to explore alternative car rental options to avoid unnecessary stress and expense. It's essential to choose a car rental company that values its customers and provides fair, transparent service, which, unfortunately, SurPrice failed to deliver in this instance.

SurPrice in Faro..............Unexpected cleaning fee of 147.60 euros when returning car after a 2 week hire. A cleaning fee is already included within the car hire for the clean between customers, yet they charge this extra extortionate amount for a quick vacuum! Wished I'd read the reviews first about this company. It seems a common practice of SurPrice to charge extortionate fees for additional and petty items.

I booked a car through Doyouitaly. When I arrived I wanted to pay with my mom's credit card because I didn't know this wasn't allowed (you should use the credit card that belongs to the person officially renting the car). Nevertheless it is unacceptable that neither are they ready to accept cash, nor is it possible to pay for the booking with banking card, nor with my mom's credit card. UNLESS you pay 500EUR extra for an insurance (that I already had purchased on the website!!! I had paid 242 EUR), you cannot get the car. In sum, they will accept the credit card with another name on it, if you're willing to pay 500 EUR extra!!! I tried to talk nicely , offer options, offer to change the booking to the name of the credit card holder and even to cancel it to rebook it or even to cancel it . They are robots (both Youdospain and Surprice car rental) that force you to use credit cards to rip you off and have control over you. NEVER AGAIN!

Trustpilot reviews Thanks for your review! Surprice Car Rentals Your review is pending.Read more Sherif Estafan 0 reviews CA Rated 1 out of 5 stars Rude and unprofessional to say the least I cannot explain how disappointed with my experience. First, I didn't find the shuttle at the airport and when I called, no one answered. After after almost one hour, the shuttle came. When I got there I had to wait for over an hour with only 2 customers ahead of me. When it was finally my turn, the kid handling my booking, who presented himself as the manager, wouldn't accept the fact that my HSBC credit covers collision insurance and insisted on me paying then he finally told me I will cancel ypur reservation and call the police to kick you out. Never have I seen a company with such rude, uncooperative and unprofessional staff, to say the least. I went to Easirent down the same street and the were very nice and friendly. The process to lile 10 minutes and they accepted my collision insurance without debating. BOTTOM LINE: avoid, by all means, Surprice, Nextcar and few other brands you will find there. They are all the same company.

NO CAR,NO MONEY!!!!The car was rented… NO CAR,NO MONEY!!!!The car was rented from DoYouItaly.com. On arrival to “Treviso i Surprise car rentals “ office we were told that debit car is not acceptable for deposit and we can take car only when the insurance is paid off of 180eur, plus 3 days car rent did cost us 130eur separately. After we refused to buy insurance, we were offered to go outside and have good think about it, after few minutes when we made our mind we approached to manager, which was smoking outside, trying to clarify few questions we had , her reply was: don’t you see I am smoking, don’t disturb me… We called doyouitaly.com to help sort out the problem that accured on that time , we were explained that this is our own problem , that we don’t read payments terms and conditions and they can’t help us. We were left withour a car and without money that we paid. Therefore we had to wait 2 hours for a bus for our travel to Venice. Avoid SurPrice car rental and doyouitaly.com !!!

I now understand the name of the company: it was indeed a big surprise for me: They told me to accept an insurance fee of € 180 though I was already insured by the car Broker JetCars. That did not count they told me, and if I should make a damage, even a little one, they would take the full deposit of € 750. So I paid the € 180 extra. After contacting my broker they told me this was wrong information. I claimed the amount back from Surprice car but they refused to pay me back the € 180 because I had signed the contract already. Besides I got an old car with damage and a bad working Airco. Never such a Surprise car again!!! Please take care with booking at this organisation and pay something more at a better company which is in the end much cheaper!!

SCAMMERS I WISH I READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE, PLEASE AVOID USING AT ALL! Me and my partner were scammed by there No card policy and had to pay £300 insurance cover, which was not stated in the T&Cs. Then we also had to pay an additional £400 deposit holding fee! The service was AWFUL, the staff couldn’t speak English, we have no choice to accept charges as we had no other options of travel. Arrogant staff and very rude. WORST PART the car didn’t work properly, the car was dirty and kept stopping, a dangerous experience on the motorway! This place is hidden you can’t even find them, the actual car hire company is called AutoOne, dodgy business!

I must confess that reading the reviews, made me a little apprehensive, as people tend to write them, only when it does not go their way. However, everything was great, from the pick up at the airport until the return. At the airport in Venice, we waited around five minutes, a five minutes drive to the office. At the office we were welcomed by Julio, who was very friendly, helpful and informative. The car was new, clean and very economic, no scratches or dents. On returning,we had it washed and tank full, which is the norm, no queue, Eleonora welcomed us, again very friendly, helpful and quick. Both always with a smile. I would definitely recommend it.

Hello everyone, I'm Matt Claiborne from Dallas Texas, usa. I'm here to tell you about my experience about recovery companys. I was scammed by Watermine company! They shut their website down after they took all my money. I was furious, I desperatly needed to get my funds back. Due to the situation I was in I was much more careful in finding a company that could help me get my funds back. I heard about recovery services. I talked several companies. But most of them request front payment. Some of them doesnt but they have bad reviews, and it may be lost of time to go on with them. CP-INVESTIGATION.C0M (Payback, Moneyback same.) has the best reviews between the companies i chacked and shared my problem. Cp Investigation have been an amazing positive help for me, having being scammed out of a substantial amount of money they have successfully assisted in retrieving approx. 70% of my loses so far, with no stone being left unturned I am confident they will obtain a refund for me in due course. They are helpful, professional and compassionate at all times fully understanding my position and always available to assist and answer questions. I can only recommend the company and staff working there, they have all been first class!
