I'm absolutely furious. We booked a car through the rental platform and got the most comprehensive insurance beforehand. When we got there and wanted to add an extra driver, they required us to buy insurance for the driver. We had previously rented cars in the US and Australia, and it went smoothly. We consulted the rental platform, and they confirmed that we could simply add a driver without having to buy insurance, as we already had it for the car. However, the store staff disagreed. A very beautiful lady, but with a terrible attitude, argued with us for the whole morning. The rental company's customer service also called to help communicate. Finally, we decided not to add the driver. The staff agreed and simply crossed out the additional fee with a pen, without printing a new contract. Trusting Europeans to be honest, we didn't object. When we returned the car, we found out they never changed it in the computer system, and we still ended up with the insurance!

When picking up the car, we clearly stated that we don't need additional insurance as we had already bought it in China! But they still added expensive insurance! The confirmation form was in Italian, and we didn’t check it carefully before signing! That was really careless of us!

The car models varied a lot, and there was a serious pressure to buy insurance... The car cost less than 3000 RMB, but the insurance was 1200 euros... Unbelievable! They said it was unsafe without insurance and that I could end up paying more if the car got damaged. Both sides had limited English proficiency, so that was the best I could do. Later, my Italian friend said their annual insurance costs were no more than that... Well, just consider it as buying peace of mind in this mafia-like place.

I booked an automatic car, but when I picked it up, they said they didn't have automatic cars available, only manual ones. They were very indifferent about it. The type of car you're given is determined by the number of people in your group and your luggage, it has nothing to do with what you reserved in advance. They kept pushing insurance, saying it wouldn't be safe without it, making me doubt the reliability of the insurance bought through the rental website.

Not many people picking up cars
