This company need to be closed , tens of very bad reviews all over the place. They are scammers. In 30th of october I rent a car which they block me a deposit of £1600, they pushed me to get a insurance for £400/week, which I did not as I had a premium insurance already. ON return they found a small chip on a screen which was there before and they write on papers that I have to Pay 500 for full windscreen replace as they don't fix chips. I refuse to sign the papers and they become aggresive , they attack me , they address me very bad words in front of my family with a small kid around which was crying, pushed me out 3 mens out of the office and need to call police on 112 a they were very aggresive and few other carwash staff around gather together around us. They supposed to drive us back to airport and they didn't and need to book a Uber to return as we are about to miss flight. We spend 2 hours in there with 3x police mens in order to make them to accept the car without signature for 500 euro as they said If I don't sign , the car will be practically abandoned and they will charge me for full car, absolutelly shambolic, scammers and primitive behaviour

Try to avoid at any costs. The first car almost got on fire, the second had also technical issues and was very very old [ 300k on the dashboard] and the third was OKish. 4 weeks on and did not receive my deposit back ( 700 Euro). Almost ruined the holiday.

Surprice car rental bologna. I booked a car through their Agent ''DoYouItaly'' and when I arrived at Bologna they wanted to pay their own insurance because I wanted to be fully covered although I had paid the full cover package in DoYouItaly. Otherwise if anything went wrong I should pay for it and ask for a refund from DoYouItaly. Unacceptable... Don't do it. Don't use platforms,,, don't use low cost companies because it will cost you more in the end. The lady in the bureau of Surprise rental gave different information about the amounts of money I should pay from what the DoYouItaly has informed me... they even demanded to wash the car in case it rained mud......

No aconsejo esta compañía. Nos quisieron cobrar a nuestra entrega del coche porque consideraban que no estaba limpio (Bajo su criterio, cuando además había estado lloviendo). A su vez, la señora que nos atendió el día 21.11.23 en la oficina del aeropuerto en Venecia fue una MALEDUCADA, sin dejarnos hablar, NO RESERVAR CON ESTA COMPAÑÍA

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.
