SURPRICE RENT A CAR - Fiumicino Airport Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

Extremely poor experience, the worst I've ever had with a car rental. Be warned and avoid at all costs! 1. Couldn't find the store at the airport, the pickup instructions were vague and inaccurate. SurPrice deliberately didn't answer calls and didn't send pickup service (later said answering calls wasn't their job, how are we supposed to contact you for pickup then, telepathy?). Even QEEQ couldn't reach them. We wasted over an hour trying to contact SurPrice's local headquarters, and eventually a car showed up to take us to the store. 2. When we arrived at the store, they took a €1200 deposit, and when we went to pick up the car, they hadn't prepared the Jeep Compass SUV or an equivalent vehicle that we reserved. They tried to pass off a small blue Fiat 500x as an equivalent, but its trunk was too small for our luggage. They claimed it was the only automatic car available and offered no alternatives. The Italian woman at the counter had a terrible attitude. This was the worst car rental experience of my life. 3. Tried calling QEEQ customer service on-site, but they couldn't resolve it either. Their suggestion was to take the car and try to swap it later, a ridiculous idea since our luggage wouldn't fit in the car. How were we supposed to drive it away? 4. We had to cancel the reservation, find another rental at the airport, spend more money, and wasted over five hours before we could leave the airport. It was midnight by the time we left, absolutely exhausting and frustrating start to our trip. 5. This happened on June 17th and by July 5th I still haven't received a refund. No updates from them, only after I called did they quickly email saying they were processing the refund. The €1200 deposit from the store hasn’t been refunded either. It's like dealing with scammers. Please be cautious renting through QEEQ, and avoid this local car rental company called SurPrice. They are still listed despite serious complaints, continuing to harm consumers. Their airport store is particularly dreadful and could ruin your trip right from the start. I still haven't gotten back over 10,000 RMB and have no idea when I will. I’m not even asking for compensation, just my money back, and it’s been a nightmare. Physically and mentally draining, I'm really unlucky to have gone through this.

Extremely poor service, worst I've ever experienced. Avoid this company! 1. Couldn't find the branch at the airport, the pickup instructions were unclear and inaccurate. The SurPrice branch deliberately did not answer calls and did not pick us up (later said answering calls was not their job, how are we supposed to contact them for a pickup then?). Even QEEQ couldn't reach them. We had to spend over an hour contacting SurPrice's local HQ ourselves before finally getting picked up and taken to the branch. 2. At the branch, they charged a €1200 deposit, but didn't have the Jeep Compass SUV or similar vehicle we reserved. They tried to pass off a small Fiat 500x as the same class, which had a tiny trunk that couldn't fit our luggage. They claimed it was the only automatic car available and had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. The Italian woman at the branch was extremely rude. 3. Contacted QEEQ customer service, who spoke with the woman but couldn't resolve the issue or offer an alternative vehicle. They suggested we drive the car away and try to exchange it later, which was absurd because our luggage wouldn't fit in the trunk. How would we drive away and expect to exchange the car later? 4. We were forced to cancel the reservation and find another car at the airport, costing us more money and five hours of time, leaving us exhausted and frustrated late at night. 5. This happened on June 17th and as of today, July 5th, I still haven't received a refund. No proactive feedback from them, only responded when I chased them. The €1200 deposit hasn't been returned either, and I'm starting to think this could be a scam. Be cautious with QEEQ and especially SurPrice. This branch near the airport is particularly suspicious. They could ruin your entire trip! I'm still waiting for my over 10,000 RMB to be refunded, no idea when this will be resolved. I haven't asked for compensation, just my money back, and it's been a nightmare. This experience has been physically and mentally distressing for me.
