I had to wait 2h20 to pick up my car in Florence; I never experienced this. They had many customers but it seems to be a known problem. Why then don’t they make it a better experience? They could have at least reduced slightly the overall costs as I could not pick up the car at the right time because of this issue. Additionally, they charged a large amount of money on my credit card and now 2 days later I still did not get a refund. Note though that the staff was helpful and courteous though visibly missing some personnel (and at lunch a few desks were empty, I guess for the lunch break ... but with many, many guests including me waiting for hours). One good point though was that the staff at the airport (drop off location) was very quick and efficient.

The store has only two staff members, so the service speed is average. The staff will try to sell insurance, but if you already bought full insurance on QEEQ, you don't need to buy it again.

We picked up the car near Florence train station. The lady at the counter was quite rude and told us they didn't have any BMWs, only VW Golfs. When we contacted customer service, they asked to speak to her directly, but she refused to take the call and said, 'If you're not satisfied with our cars, you can go to another company,' then she moved us aside and called the next customer. We had to get a new number and wait in line again. The second lady was more polite and didn't mention different car models, but kept trying to sell us additional AVIS insurance. When we finally got the car, it was an almost new Alfa with only 2700 km on it. Returning the car at Milan train station was smoother; the staff were much friendlier, but the nearest gas station was 3 km away and privately owned.

There were many people, so I had to wait a long time to pick up the car. I arrived at the store at 11:00 AM and finally got the car at 3:15 PM.

The store location is easy to find and the signs are very prominent. Communication with the store staff wasn't very smooth as they only knew a bit of English. However, the service attitude was very good.

Average service, with simple car return procedures. The main inconvenience is that the return time is strictly calculated based on the pickup time, with only a half-hour grace period. Therefore, the earlier you pick up the car, the earlier you have to return it. They should allow more flexibility with the return time.

We had to wait for 2 hours when picking up the car, it was unbearable. The store's efficiency is too low. We booked for a noon pickup at 12, but only got the car after 2 PM.

The staff at the service center were quite good. However, the phone support staff had poor English communication skills. They struggled to understand our descriptions, and we had difficulty understanding her spoken English. It took a lot of effort to finally arrange a tow truck, and when the tow truck driver arrived, he said it didn't meet the requirements for towing. We ended up wasting time in the middle of the night. Eventually, we had to drive the car with the replaced tire to the Milan store ourselves the next day.

The staff at the Florence city center had terrible attitudes and were impatient. No one assisted us with the car inspection during pickup. When returning the car at Bologna airport, the signs were unclear. We drove to the airport's arrivals parking, went inside to ask for directions, and wasted another 20 minutes to finally find the return location. There were many customers, but only one staff member was available.

Terrible attitude, did not accept the translation document, not even their own company's translation document. They insisted on the international driving permit. There were also two other Chinese customers renting, and the staff were aggressively pushing insurance, speaking very forcefully. In the end, it seemed they couldn't get a car either... I think this branch should be removed from the rental platform...

There was an Audi A3 in the garage, but they insisted on giving me a Citroen C3. How can that be the same? Moreover, they charged €71.54 and I still don't know if I can get it back. I returned the car with a full tank of fuel.
