CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON SURPRICE RENT A CAR AT FARO AIRPORT, FAO

Shuttle bus service poor and directions for car return very poor. I would not use surprice again.

Booking platform all good.

We were met at the Airport and taken by Mini Bus to the rental location. We were not expecting this . however the location was conveniently situated to the motorway and everything was explained clearly. Although booking the smallest car we were very pleased to receive a virtually brand new larger car .

Very pleased with the booking arrangements and documentation received.

It was a very pleasant surprise not to be given the hard sell for insurance and for that reason alone I would use them again.

Booked a fiat 500l but on arrival got told all they had was a fiat panda because of this struggled to get suitcases in but luckily went with friends and they managed to get my suitcases in there car. Surprice wasn't bothered about this though I had booked a larger vehicle. I only excepted the fiat panda due to having 3 children with me and it being late at night. Would never hire another car from them!!

La mauvaise surprise à l'annonce du montant de la caution prélevée sur le compte bancaire : 2490 € !!! Alors que le plafond international de prélèvement d'une carte visa est de 2400€;;;cherchez l'erreur! Au comptoir un dimanche midi face à une personne qui refuse de parler un minimum anglais et qui vous propose comme seule solution le paiement de leur assurance magique qui permet de baisser considérablement le prix de la caution à 400€. Le prix de départ de 44,90 € imbattable s'est transformé à 190€ ce qui pour le coup faisait cher pour les prestations offertes (obligation de prendre une navette pour prendre la voiture)!! Le budget vacances s'est vu fortement réduit!

Plate forme fluide, et facile d'utilisation qui propose des prix imbattables.

Hired a Seat Ibiza or similar - received a Toyota Yaris, which is more of a budget model than I would have expected. The car was brand new though so that was a plus. Initial pickup was fine, but car was experiencing major faults when idling - twice the engine fully cutting out at busy roundabouts. Decided car was not fit to drive so once we finally got the car going again we drove back to the pickup point. Service centre were very quick to identify a loose battery connection, and also told us (then!) as to a trick with the Yaris that needs a double-pump of the clutch. Can't fault the service staff, as quickly resolved the issue. Annoying not to be told about the clutch particular though, as that should have been mentioned at collection of the car. Car was ok for the rest of the trip. Most annoying part has been communication with the head office since, where I have asked for some compensation to cover fuel and road tolls we incurred as a result of going back to the collection point to have the car fixed. Very little understanding and no empathy whatsoever. Really disappointed with this and won't recommend this company as a result.

I was expecting to rent a Mercedes Vito but I was disappointed when we were given a Renault minibus not what I had paid for. And the van was not in great condition.

Great car, price and service. The bad reviews on here are from people who didn’t do their research up front. If you don’t buy Surprice insurance, they will require a hold of a couple thousand euros on your credit card. They will charge extra for “off-hours” pickup/drop. Understand these conditions and you won’t find a better deal in Faro.

Had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for pick up of shuttle bus and depot about 10 mins from airport and difficult to fined when returning car We were charged another 35 euros as they said we were late but when booking the car rental we stated pick up time 8.00pm and we were there at 7.50pm and suttle bus didn't arrive till 8.05pm also told if we used the toll bridge by mistake we would be charged another 35 euros other car rental companies would just charge us the toll bridge charges so we will not be hiring from Surprice again

No. Smaller class than ordered. Fuel not full

Like: Good car and price
Dislike: I was charged 25€ late pickup (after 20:00) but to be fair we were late due to French air traffic control

the car was perfect for the two of us, we were pleased with it for a small car very comfortable, it was not clean inside or out, apart from that happy with the car, the only issue I have is the drop off was not clear on my booking papers it said drop off at airport the shuttle driver said to park the car at car park 1 and pointed out where to park, it was not clear on papers from rental desk where to return car it gave a map of location but no return details, this needs to be made clearer, we would use this company again.

dont know about the price drop but were happy with the price paid, booking was easy, will use this site again, thankyou

Like: Had a great time, loving Portugal, people and service
Dislike: Nothing.

Very friendly, helpful shuttle bus drivers, lovely friendly guy at the desk, no fuss, no trying to sell extras. Good straightforward service

All easy

Had booked full to full and were told to bring back at same level as if a difference, would be charged a high amount - petrol station across the road!!!! Very high excess charge out with hours - 8pm 35 euros. On checking in, very unfriendly and unhelpful. Would have been nice to see a smile and shown how to operate the car. On the plus side -automatic and a hybrid!

Easy booking and good communication.

Worst rental car place. Terrible customer service. So many hidden fees that were not made aware when booking through easyrentcars. Hidden fees cost me just under 100 euros to pick up the car and more hidden fees when dropping it off. Never choose surprice rent a car, its cheap on easyrentcars but they will make their money off you one way or another.

I was charged €175 for a mark no more than 1mm x 2mm. It was a new car and I was told it had no damage. In dark would not have seen this mark. I have rented with Surprice before and cars were covered in scratches, bumps etc. Though new, the indicator was faulty, gear knob had not been fitted correctly. Never renting from them again

The car exceeded my expectations as it was upgraded for free. Staff was very friendly & helpful. The only minus was the waiting time for the shuttle car at the pick-up meeting point. Also, it wasn’t possible to get through to the reception to find our how long was the waiting time.

All went fine.

The car was old and in poor condition. The Full/Full agreement was not honoured even though i was able to produce the paperwork. On pick up the counter staff were abrupt and unhelpful. The car had several dings and dents that were not recorded which is not good. There was no Air conditioning in the car. On drop off they were such more helpful but it did take a long time

est ce que la toyota aygo est vraiment l’équivalent d'une fiat 500 L??? Une plus grande transparence sur d'éventuels frais qui pourraient êtres engendrés par un retour hors des horaires d'ouvertures du bureau.........
