These people are thieves through and through. Nothing nice to say about this rogue company, so I wish to warn one and all to keep away. I returned a car to Catania airport in April with a couple of scuffs on the bumper. This happened as I was turning into the airport car rental drop off and I clipped a large pot plant. The scratches could have been fixed with a cut and polish. No structural damage of any kind. They charged me 750 euro for this as I hadn’t taken insurance. I doubt they will even fix the car it was so minimal. The guy who Ho assessed the car was so sleazy looking and laughed when he told me it would cost that much. I basically gave him the finger and walked off. Of course they have your deposit so the money was taken out. Don’t go near these pricks.

Perfect place to pay 3 times as much as you were supposed to and be ripped off. When we booked our car, our final price was 350 € (including insurance). When we came to pick up our car, we ended up paying 350+630€ insurance without any other options. They are scammers making their money not from repeat customers but from shady tactics and lies. Disgusting and disgraceful business

PLEASE DO NOT RENT A CAR WITH SURPRICE! We rented a car in Bari, on 26th of March, online. We wanted to pick it up on 27th at the Airport, in the morning. In the email we received a phone number was listed to call and arrange the meeting with someone who would take us to the car. The phone number was disconnected and all the other numbers we could find online no one would pick up. We sent multiple emails and no one ever answered. As the reservation was made less than 30 hours before, we tried cancelling it, and that was the first time someone actually answered the email we sent and cancelled the reservation in the next 2 minutes, we lost all the money even though we tried everything and called them, sent them emails, and sent all the proof we could find that we tried all that we could. They responded to the next few emails but never refunded us even though it wasn’t our mistake. They said that we cancelled less than 48h before even though we made the reservation less than 48h before the pick up! PLEASE DO NOT RENT WITH THEM!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They will try to justify a way to charge you £300-450 when you turn up to collect your car.If you do not pay extra money, no car and no refund. A scam.

I rented a car in Bari (booking number B31858907) between January 29th and April 1st. Initially, I specifically requested a Smart car. I understand the concept of car groups and have rented cars in numerous countries before. However, upon arrival at the garage, I discovered that they had zero Smart cars available, which is essentially false advertising. While the website mentions Fiat Panda and similar cars, this wasn't the issue. The problem arises from being charged €194.38 without any prior notification or explanation. I did not sign any agreement nor was I informed about any additional charges. This appears to be an unauthorized charge and amounts to robbery.

If you are Canadian, do not rent from this company. They will not accept your Canadian car insurance and will charge you $62US per day. I booked from Holiday Cars.com - will never deal with either of these companies again. Buyer beware!

Absolutely appalling experience @ their London Heathrow branch, we turned up with the documentation summarised in their email only to be told “our policy changed” two weeks ago and that it was no longer fit for the purpose. After 3 hours trying to sort things out we went to a competitor and got a car with no problem! Never, never again. Ruined the start of what was meant to be a relaxing break.

Never rent a car here! In their policy they write that if you are 1 hour over the closing hours (10.00 p.m.) then you have to pay an additional charge as penalty. Our plane was delayed and we called them from the airport of departure in the afternoon. We also wrote them an email. We called the office at 10.45 p.m. to let them know we have arrived in Bari. Then we called them again and again but the lines were busy (it seems they have only one phone). Finally, after 10 minutes they answered the phone and told us that they would arrive soon. After 20 minutes the driver arrived and then after a 3-minute ride we eventually arrived at their office. They wanted to charge 70 euro for not being there in time. I think it was not our fault that they arrived after 28 minutes. They did it purposefully in order to charge extra money. There was an other couple arriving together with us. They didn't have to pay that penalty as they made them pay extra money for using Revolute.

it doesn't even deserve a one star. people working there have absolutely no shame. also their whole site is full of lies. i don't recommend it especially if you want to stay happy and satisfied (and if you don't want to lose your money)

Stay away from Surprice car rentals: they also go under the names of MEXC, Street, Hub rent-a-car, Routes Car rental, York and Wheego. All the same business and the same bad experience. I had booked through Priceline and planned to use our own insurance coverage as it covers rentals etc. A few days prior to my trip, I did some research to find out how much of a deposit they would charge so I could be prepared. My research showed $500-$2500 which is crazy. I began looking at reviews and found all bad reviews of Surprice. One specifically mentioned that the company would only accept a small handful of insurance companies and would likely charge you anyways. So I went back to purchase the offered separate insurance from Priceline for $78. When I go to get my rental and I give my insurance information I'm told it's "not enough: it only covers collision. You'll have to take our insurance at $30 per day." This totaled about $180 on top of the $78. There is zero information anywhere about this detail prior to booking. I will never use any of these car rental companies again. Also won't use Priceline.

If I could give it zero I would. Stay away!! If you're a hour late they cancel you and refuse to refund your money. You have to show your declaration page so be prepared or they'll charge you. And then they want to charge you 2500 on your card to HOLD!

Absolute scam: do not waste your money with them or any of the other "off-brand names" they utilize. They provided very little detail or information on how to get to their location after getting off the plane; they did not have a phone number for contact to ask them questions, and when the shuttle showed up an hour later, the line at the car rental place was out the door and took hours to get to the counter, and they didn't have a car for me.

I booked through Economy Bookings and ordered a child car seat for a baby. On arrival the child car seats they had were completely inappropriate, very old and in terrible condition. I am confident they didn't adhere to EU safety standards as they had none of the markings on. On collecting the car it was dark and I did my best to film and photograph all the scratches. They however found a tiny blemish on one of the wheels and charged me €250 for it. Even though I don't believe I was the one who did that. On their system they didn't have many of the blemishes and scratches that I had taken a photo of.

I rented from this company through Priceline, because it was designated On Airport. They were nowhere to be found at the airport. No instructions, no information, nothing. It was one of the worst travel experiences of my life. Absolutely horrible. Do not use this company. Truly terrible. I was essentially stranded. After an exhausting day.
