CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON SURPRICE RENT A CAR IN PORT LOUIS

Convenient pick-up and drop-off

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.

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.

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

The overall service was quite good.
