PORT LOUIS CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

The service was just average.

Convenient pick-up and drop-off

The service counter was unattended, no indication of when staff would return. The vehicle was dirty, old, the windshield washer fluid and brake oil were both at the minimum level. Poor service!

The service was quite enthusiastic.

You could hire cars with some petrol roster then nearly empty and cars could be newer with less then 100k millage

The staff were very impatient when we picked up the car. The customer hadn't finished checking, but in less than five minutes, the staff left. They didn't provide the paperwork initially; we had to chase after them to get it. There were some paint scratches on the car, which they didn't inform us about. I found them myself and only then did the staff reluctantly mark it on the paperwork. Before we could finish inspecting, it started raining heavily, and the one staff member left without saying anything. We had no choice but to drive away without fully checking the vehicle. When returning the car, they inspected it very meticulously, even crawling on the ground to look, and claimed there was a crack in the bumper. However, we had only driven from the airport to the hotel and hadn't used the car for the three days, as we stayed at the hotel and used the hotel's shuttle service. The mileage check confirms this. The crack was clearly old, and we had to argue with them. Eventually, their manager came and resolved the issue, but we almost missed our flight. Additionally, the deposit is extremely high, nearly 5000 RMB. As of now, we haven't received the deposit back, and we don't know if they'll deduct any money. Make sure to thoroughly inspect every part of the car when picking it up.

There was nothing unsatisfactory with the supplier. My dissatisfaction lies with QEEQ for not passing on the information about my child safety seat to the rental company.

They said the deposit would be refunded in two days, but it's been half a month and it hasn't been refunded.

I booked a Jaguar XF on Zuzuche, but they gave me a Hyundai i10 at the store. The difference is significant.

There was no counter at airport. The guys were waiting for me outside with the car. The fuel was about a quarter so had to fill up on the way which was a hassle. The car I booked wasnt delivered and couldnt be bothered to argue or change.

Privately owned, extremely unreliable; none of the emergency contact numbers work. It's a local car rental company without any storefront, and neither airport staff nor police have heard of it. I don't understand how it became a partner with the rental platform.

I was shocked that such a big brand would have such unprofessional staff in these less developed African countries. When returning the car, I had already filled up the tank, but during the inspection, the staff shook the car body by standing on the passenger door frame, causing the fuel gauge to show a warning. They then claimed the tank wasn't full and demanded extra money. Fortunately, I noticed and did not agree. After moving the car back and forth, the fuel gauge returned to normal. The staff quickly explained that it was a malfunction. However, they still charged us an additional 300 rupees, even though we gave him a 50-rupee tip. Moreover, the actual car model was smaller than what I had booked. I have never encountered such issues when renting cars in America, Europe, or Australia before!

In the end, I was extorted for a 200 rupee cleaning fee, claiming the car was not clean, even though it wasn't dirty at all! I even gave 50 rupees as a tip, but that's just how it is in this African country. I've never encountered this situation in other countries before!

Quick and nice service.

The counter is in a small building directly opposite the airport arrival exit, with clear signage. There weren't many customers, and the staff were very enthusiastic and provided detailed explanations.

No prior indication that SURPRICE RENT A CAR was off site. I arrived earlier than planned and could not find my car. I could not find any mention of Surprice Rent A Car at the airport. No other rental agency knew of Surprice Rent A Car. Another rental agency was kind enough to help find them. I was told to wait in the arrivals hall. Still nothing. A taxi driver made another phone call to help find them. When the car arrived, it looked like it had been in an accident and had been repaired. The fuel level was already on Empty, with the fuel warning light on. I had to get fuel immediately. The car was delivered to me in the airport car park, meaning I had to pay a parking fee to exit the airport. I arrived at sunset. By the time I had refuelled the car, it was dark and I had to turn on the headlights. Only one headlight was working! This made my 45 minute drive VERY dangerous. Surprice's solution to the broken headlight was for me to pay to have it repaired myself and they would refund the cost. They confirmed the refund would be waiting for me when I returned the car at the end of my hire. This was reconfirmed on my final day of the rental. When I arrived at the airport, they did not have money ready and claimed they through they could give it to me the following day. HOW? I was leaving the country! After some time of searching purses and wallets, they found enough to cover the repaired headlight. Disappointing.

I paid the full amount for the rental on ZUZUCHE. When I went to pick up the car, they said I hadn't paid and asked for an additional 200+ USD. After a half-hour delay, they realized it was their mistake and finally gave me the car. The car had only two bars of fuel, over 50,000 kilometers, was very old, and not cleaned. When returning the car, there were notes on the rental form about existing scratches, but they still claimed I caused them!

Mauritius has good car models.

The car fell below our expectations, it was advertised as room for 7 passengers but didn’t have enough luggage space for 5.

Renting and returning the car was very convenient. The staff were friendly.
