I rented a car from this place & was charged a damage fee on vehicle 250 Euros. I called the several times to provide my insurance info that i took from Expedia when i rented the car but no response whatsoever! I reached out to Expedia several times and they tried calling them numerous times and no response, I called Expedia several times and keep getting the run-around, kept on hold for 30 mins 3 times already was disconnected and no call back. At this point, I just wanted to be reimbursed and be on my way, this have been going on for 5 weeks now! This is the worst car rental Company, absolutely terrible and I believe they are scamming people for these damage fees because they know people have to catch-flights and have no time and just pay. Rental Company: SurPrice car rentals in Catania Italy" SUCK! DO NOT USE THEM! Disappointed Traveler!

Scammers. When you return the car they will create imaginary damage and charge you for it. Avoid these POS scammers.

Deceitful and abhorrent, they have no integrity whatsoever and lying in my face; so they don’t return my safety deposit, this is recent at Dalaman airport, December 2022. Beware and do not use these people. Very rude and unprofessional. I’ve hired cars in the past in Italy, Greece, Spain, UK without any issues. Sadly in Turkey this has happened!

BEWARE!! We pre-paid for a good rate, but our flights were delayed which resulted in arriving 5 hours after scheduled pickup. They cancelled our reservation after 2 hours, did not apply the pre-paid payment to the subsequent rental, and charged us twice the pre-paid rate for the car they had "available." They were perfectly pleasant about it and assured us the airline would reimburse us: NOT likely!! The "available" car was clean and worked well for us. I'm sure this practice is legal, but not what I would call ethical.

Never use this company for hiring the car. Many unprofessional and incorrect staff works in this company. I booked rent a car through Discover Car. When I arrived in Sofia at 0.15 h and go to the desk to pick up the car the man who works there said no car in the class which you was booked. After half an hour and an insistence on me to give me a car, they did it. When I must return the car the same man gone to the car park and said that the rare bumper and the reflector are damage. I was sure it was there when I picked up the car but I didn’t do the pictures and I haven’t got any proofs. The men do the record but incorrect. He marked the rare light and the bumper. For these I must pay €550 what was the deposit. (€600) After long negotiations, they return €300 and hold €250 for something which I wasn’t doing. I never take a car from this company!

The SURPRICE representative for the delivery at the airport of Tenerife south of the Fiat Panda, without further verification, immediately went to try the key because she already knew of the pre-existing defect, but to get me to sign and conclude the procedure she told me that the damage was related to the previous rental and that everything was fine for me. Landed in Italy I saw the charge of Euro 288. In any case, I inform all the competent authorities to verify the adequacy of the charge and the number of lock replacements carried out during the year on said car.

Terrible lies and deception to keep it simple it's like dealing with under ground group of people I am a surgeon who works abroad I booked online and when I arrived there no pickup as described I had to wait in the cold for 45 mins no one answering phones when I arrived in their office the scam started 90 pound was already gone before we even start! They call it to secure the booking then they tried to charge me at least 4 times the price on the online deal they use people need and being stuck to make money 2 other customers in front me and beside me walked away despite paying the hefty deposit out of anger and I was no different I could not take it despite being tired and far away from home I cancelled and decided to take taxi to find a bus even when they claimed they cancelled pre authorisation of 1500 on my card they refused to give a paper to say that I stayed for another hour and it ended up me taking screen shot of their computer horrible experience and a scam program

Avoid at all costs. Used this company a few times in different countries. They are cheap but sharks. Still waiting for a refund of €265 stolen May20tb this year. Agreed they would refund in June witj no admission of any wrong doing. 6mths later still waiting for my money back! Funny how they don't seem to want to reply to my emails.

Even if you pay for extra insurance they will charge you for nonexistent damages to the car. Scammers. Avoid them

Do not use this company! I was charged an extra €10 per day for being over 65, and a €350 security deposit. Instead of registering a provision on my credit card, they debited the full amount. They then claimed that this was the rental payment (which I had already prepaid online). In the end I had to claim reimbursement through the credit card company. It took 7 months!

I had booked this car as a 74 year old with enjoy travel and the cheapest option was SurPrice. On arrival at Chania Airport I was told I had to pay 140 euros as I was over 70. I had no option but to pay this or not take the car. I was told that this was a government requirement. My terms and conditions said that I had no more to pay. SurPrice told me that they had me down as a 50 year old. ( I wish ) I could find no record of any Greek government charge for over 70s. This is to my mind an obvious scam. Also the car I was given, a Skoda was old and covered in scratches and dents, with burns in the seats. The engine was not fit to drive on the hills of crete, and you even had to change down the gears on the highway. Avoid this company and rent from a nationally recognised company. You've been warned

My wife and I was 15 minutes late dropping off the rental car at faro airport but still had over an hour and a half before our flight was due to depart. The driver didn't arrive for half an hour after being told by the office staff he would only be 10 minutes away. When he did arrive we told him politely we need to be at the airport by 11.20. He said "no problem I will be one minute ". He the proceeded to check in another vehicle that had just arrived delaying us another 15 minutes. When we eventually got to the airport the check-in for our baggage had closed 5 minutes earlier. Meaning we could board our flight without our luggage or pay for a later flight. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY !!!!! UNRELIABLE !!!!!!

No matter how cheap it is, do not rent from this company. AutOne also going by the name Surprice are 100% an illegitimate car rental company. It is a scam. When we first went to pick up our car, there was another person complaining that the price they were charging her was higher than her quote. They provided no explanation at all. She had to just pay it. When I came to collecting my car, the person in the office showed me on a sheet of paper where the car was damaged and if there was any extra damage to take a video of it. He refused to come check the car with me. I took a video as instructed, even though it was late at night and the car park was fully lit. The car had a very low front left tire, but I filled it myself at a garage. During the rental we had no incidents whatsoever, so didn't think twice about any issues in returning it. I was very wrong. Firstly there was a minute chip in the windscreen, it was as small as a grain on sand. They insisted that the full windscreen needed to be replaced as it was unsafe, nevermind they gave me a car with a flat tire. This is normal wear and tear and ridiculous to charge to replace. Secondly the alloy was scuffed. In the damage drawing, there was damage to that area of the car and it is visible in the video. Easy fix? Nope. Not at all. The person assessing the car said that he can't see the damage because it's night time. He says we should've taken 200 videos and photos. Then he shoved an iPad at me and told me to sign. When I said I refuse to as I dispute the damages, his tone changes. He threatens to charge the card regardless. Again I calmy dispute this with him and after a few minutes of getting nowhere, I ask to speak to the manager. He refuses. I ask again and he said that it won't do anything. Again I ask. He says there is no manager. Again I ask to speak with the manager and he says that he is manager. I ask for his name, he says Mario. Myself and his co-worker hear him say this. Another co-worker walks in and I ask who is that manager. He says there is no manager. I ask him to tell me the name of the person I was dealing with, he pauses, looks at him as if he doesn't know what to say and then the other co-worker juts in with "Mario". At this point he says that he is done with me and will just charge the card. No explanation of what work needs to be done or how much it would cost. This place is a scam. They rely on you being in a rush, not knowing your consumer rights and being intimidated by them. Avoid at all costs. Get the train. Even walking is better than dealing with this company.

Avoid Surprice, if SHOCK shouldn't be a part of your vacation. Don't put your FAMILY IN DANGER with unfit cars and rental where CHEATING is a business model. Proof below (details, photo). Take this as a warning tip ⚠️ Read other's reviews. Check Trustpilot.com, reviews.io etc. 📧 Pls contact me if you were mistreated /cheated at 😈 Surprice or internationalcars. ⚠️Tip 1: Check also under the body for scratches. During return they'd cheat. We were cheated and made to pay for an already existing scratch-underbody bumper (SEAT Ibizza). See photos with scratches taken at start and end of rental. 🤔Can you even tell which one was start and return photo ? Source: Both photos is by Surprice employee (Nuno Henriques). Threatened not to provide airport shuttle if continued to mention scratches already existed. Credit card forcefully charged. 😈They know customers are under time pressure during return. ⚠️Tip 2. The first car given (Fiat) had warning lights and check engine lamps flashing + engine power reduction on highway. Within 10 min we had to return twice to Surprice again and ONLY after severe arguments we were given a different car(SEAT). ☠️We heard another customer complaining with similar engine problem. Was charging extra us a revenge for forcing an exchange ? - May be/not. Whatever it is, I wasn't going to put my family in danger. - Neither should you. Too many similar reviews on being cheated. They don't care and Sadly too many times they get away. Consumers MUST not accept this anymore. #CheaterSurPrice #CollectiveConsumerProtection #EUConsumerPettition #portaldaqueixa.com #deco.proteste.pt

These don't even deserve one star. Booked a car through doyouItaly. Clue is actually in the name. Paid 400euro in advance. First the shuttle bus information was wrong but finally got to Surprice Rental which is the first alarm bell. A company with multiple names. They charged me for a booster seat as they made out I ordered one. Even though I hadn't. But after a long plane journey. My family stood outside I just paid and said I'll sort the refund with doyouitaly later. Secondly we went in the office to collect our car and was hit with charges left right and centre. Long story short. They wanted 700euro as a deposit which on my booking papers was supposed to be 100. The 700 only on a MasterCard which I told they would keep my card on file but not take the money. Next is they can charge me 340euro on top of the 400 I already paid. but I won't get it back. As this is a deposit waiver so I don't need to pay the 700. Ok. My card didn't have enough money. Ihad cash. They wouldn't accept. I had a debit card. They wouldn't accept. This was a Sunday. So I had to load money onto my credit card and then travel back in the morning. Next day it cost me 200 euro.on top of 150euro to get back to Surprice Rental. Then they had a manager there who was like a 18year old man. They told me they cancelled my car as I had not collected the car within 2 hours. No chance of refund and no chance of another car.a true scam from the start. There was people there in the same situation as us. I asked a member of staff surely this isn't normal. And he told me the company is a scam company! This did get heated.the manager told me he was going to ruin my day. He wasn't wrong! Then I realised they need to trade this was to pay for his stupid haircut. I asked his employee where can I get a car for my family to end this disaster. I went back to Traviso airport, within 30minutes I had a car sorted and could start my holiday after loosing two days. Thanks Surprice Car Rentals. Autoone. And doyouitaly. Definitely did me. Haven't got my money back. The manager wanted to fight me. He will hopefully meet his match soon. I'm sure he will I'm reporting this company and discussing a claim with MasterCard

STAY AWAY from this company. They charged me 10x times the market value of a tiny damage. They will do everything to find things to charge you extra.

This is a scam company that will pressure you and charge you extra when returning the car. My experience was that they asked for 60EUR when I returned the car because the car happed to have some sand at the back of the car from our flip flops on the beach. Extremely rude and arrogant people. Be warned.
