Dont trust this company one bit. I dropped my car off with no damage and the right amount of petrol, which they confirmed. 7 days later i got a £700 charge through on my card, i am still disputing the charge and they are just sending me round random office and not getting back to me. Avoid at all costs.

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.

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!

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.

The daily rate of the Surprice rental looks low, somehow, this company plays tricks to make money from the insurance cost. They will force you to buy additional insurance even you have bought full-coverage insurance from the booking website plus you have to let them withhold a large amount of deposit. I don't feel safe to put such amount deposit on this low credibility rental company. the fatal thing is the rental car logos were printed on the rental car which is the easy target of the thieves in Italy. The car I rented from Surprice was broken in, I lost everything on my first day in Italy. This Surprice asked me to put another big amount of the deposit if I want get another car from them even the insurance covers everything. I lost everything except my passport and credit card, I didn't want to deal with such low company, I went to the rental company in Rome airport which had very good experience. Don't rent car from Surprice, you can't save any money but get more troubles.

Despicable- this is lowest of low company. hustlers. They needed an International license for a UK driving permit holder. not really needed - but they made that requirement go away if i were willing to buy insurance. Basically he asked me on the face - pay up or u dont get ur car. i had no choice so i had to pay.

Terrible experience. Arrived at Heathrow spoke to the Surprice office twice to say we were on our way, but due to huge delays at immigration we ended up being an hour later on the pick-up time. On arrival they then said that the car was no longer available and the money I’d paid gone - Because we were late. They blamed the broker (economy bookings) who was equally unhelpful. Ended up losing hundreds of pounds and no car. They offered no apology, no assistance and no customer service… they look cheap on the website but they’re terrible please don’t use them. We ended up using Europcar, more expensive but delivered and excellent service.

No! To be avoided at all cost. They are scammers. You’ll find their quote very attractive until you get there. Once you’re there, they’ll do their best to charge you additional for the insurances or saying they haven’t got the car you’ve ordered. A mim they gave me an old car with loads of miles and loads of scratches, saying the car I’ve ordered was returned with faulty engine… loads of bs… They wash the car so the car will be wet when inspected. You won’t be able to see all of the existing marks and scratches until you’ve let. They’ll charge you for these at the end. At the end of the day these cars have a price, they’ll need to make money so they’ll do their best to charge you the most. My advice would be to go to well known companies such as entreprise car and alike, they might look more expensive but it’s a fix price not with loads of additional charges when you get there. They charged me 900€ for damages, or tried to, I had to raise this with the credit card company as a scam.

It is the worst rental company i have ever used. They are thieves, liars, and rude. The central station is not at the airport and has not a shuttle service, which will take you walking with your suitcases 20 minutes on the highway. They charge you for using credit cards with the characteristics they want (valid with any other company). They charged us 100 euros for a 1 cm scratch on the wheel rim. They are SCAMMERS.

Prenotazione auto per Malta. Arrivato al desk ci hanno messo un'ora a dare auto, perché non accettavano importo pattuito con discover car. Dopo aver tentato di truffarci più volte, dicendo che l'importo di discover era al giorno e non totale. Inoltre nella prenotazione c'era scritto pieno per pieno. Invece la macchina era a metà serbatoio e ci chiedono di restituirla vuota. Cosa peraltro impossibile. Ma la fregatura è un'altra. Restituendo la.macchina ci accorgiamo che ha un piccolo graffietto su uno specchietto (3 cm). Nel l'ispezione finale durata oltre 30 minuti non si accorgono del graffio. Noi avvisiamo per correttezza, dicendo che però probabilmente esisteva già prima. Naturalmente ci contestano il tutto dicendo che dovevamo accorgercene prima noi alla consegna (noi in 5 minuti e lui in 30 minuti non se n'è accorto). Abbiamo il volo che parte ed una polizza kasko quindi firmiamo il verbale. Arriva il responso, per un graffietto di 3 cm, 415 euro. 211 per il danno, 80 per mancato utilizzo e 55. Tutto più Iva. Truffatori prima e dopo.

This rental car company is the worst experience I have had in renting cars. They doubled our fees at the counter with an excuse that our 4 different credit cards (2 types of visa cards, 1 mastercard & 1 visa debit) we presented were not accepted in terms of an insurance deposit. As a result they told us we must pay the maximum insurance daily rate which ruined our vacation. We had already a rental car insurance which we pay yearly. The 2 persons in front of us also had the same issues which caused a long wait for everyone. Also we had booked a small Fiat & they gave us a medium size car which was not what we had requested. Avoid this company

I would give them zero stars if I could. This review is for Surprice car rental in Porto, Portugal. I thought I had already paid for everything and when I went to pick up the car I had to pay extra insurance, or they would block $6000.00 on my credit car in case the car was damaged or stolen, another credit card block of 300 euros in case of loss of key, incorrect petrol etc. When the car was towed in Lisbon for a parking infringement (my fault), 4 days before my contract was up, I went to the police station, payed the parking fine but could not collect the car because there was no registration in the glove box. The company said someone from Porto had to come and get the car and they would give me another one from Lisbon. When I went to the Lisbon office I paid them the cost of the towing and one night of storage of the car at the police station. They waited 4 days to collect the car and incurred 24 euro a day charge for car storage (96euros) that they then charged to my credit card. In addition they didn't have any automatic cars and so I was with out a car for the remaining 4 day of my contract and they wouldn't refund the rental for the 4 days because it was my fault the car was towed. Horrible, horrible and expensive experience. Don't ruin your trip, go with one of the big car rental companies like Avis. What a nightmare.

[London Heathrow] Either avoid this scam shop at all costs, or make sure that you take very detailed pictures when renting from this company, including from the alloys. I was just stolen £350 for damage which 100% was there before. I literally just drove 48 miles to my parking spot and back, making it not possible to scratch the alloys. As someone who rents cars very frequently and never paid any damage costs, I was stupid enough not to take pictures when renting the car. When I asked the salesperson to show me pictures of the last check out, he said he had none on record because the last rental was more than 3 months old (?) instead he showed me a check out report from March, funny enough the mileage on the car when “last rented out” was 3500 miles less than when I rented it? But I had a flight to take and had no time to argue- so I told them that they should take the 350 from my deposit - which they said it’s not possible and I need to pay with another card ? Doesn’t make sense and sounds criminal (and probably is criminal) but I have a flight to take to see my family, so I agree to pay the money stating that I will complain about this. What’s the point of deposit if not for paying damages? And then, when paying this mysterious 350, I wanted to pay with my credit card (so that I can open a dispute) but then I had to pay with my debit card ? Ridiculous scam company. To be avoided
