" We were upgraded to a Mercedes as the Alfa Romeo was unavailable. The drop off was simple - they just did a quick walk around to check for damage and sent me the receipt by email. Quick and painless overall. "
" The pick up was a bit of a hassle being that there was a line and we were somehow bumped back in line (even though we checked in online). But that could've been the other customers not knowing it was a 'take a number' line. "

" We've always been satisfied with Auto Europe. We wondered if they will ensure that the promised deduction is fulfilled. "
" The counter staff in Venice were unhelpful when we had questions and problems with the GPS. Plus the GPS maps were over a year out of date and it malfunctioned midway through our trip Leaving with us with some difficult navigation problems. However the staff at Leonardo Da Vinci Airport in Rome were excellent for our drop-off. We had an oil problem; the change oil light came on which we had checked out a ta service station. The staff in Rome were most helpful over this as well as with our faulty GPS, and offered to refund the full cost of the GPS rental. Hopefully this will be deducted from our bill. "

" We have used Auto Europe for many many years & have found your rates to be very friendly to our annual trip planning. We have never had a problem to be resolved but I am sure if it happens that you will be there to help out. "
" Europcar is right up there with the best of car renters. I had requested a Nissan SUV but was told that the one in the lot might break down quickly & was offered an "upgrade" to a Fiat Tipo SW. It performed pretty well over the 13 day rental but I found the gear box to be a bit squishy - goodness knows how many drivers had been at the wheel in its 28,000 km! I like that both Europcar and Hertz offer no deductible insurance at reasonable rates - at least when renting through AutoEurope! "

" No problem with the rental service "
" Registering at the rental desk took around one hour ! The set up of taking a number and then making sure one does not miss his turn if one does not look at the screen where the various numbers are displayed. Vary easy to miss your turn ! Why not have people line up in front of the appropriate agent ?? So simple ! "

" We have used AutoEurope now for quite a few years & hope to do so in the future. I am turning 70 in a few months & hope this will not disqualify me from renting in the future. "
" As I mentioned in my feedback to Hertz, they need to provide better signage for returning vehicles at Marco Polo. Their return area is the last one in the garage & there needs to be a sign assuring drivers that they are still on the way to Hertz return. I parked in the first Hertz carrel I saw & it turned out not to be a return carrel so I had to go back and move the car. "

" Getting the rental voucher trough Auto Europe provided saved us money, Auto Europe were efficient and useful. "
" Overall our experience with Hertz was positive, the dropoff of the vehicle was not pleasant though. The Hertz counter at the Roma Rail Station (where we had to return the car) sent us to a parking garage without giving proper instructions, we waisted valuable time in finding the place that was not marked, and we weren't very happy.

" Easy to deal with and questions were answered easily when I called. "
" When we arrived at the office in Venice they could not find our booking. None the less, the agent merely noted that out loud and proceeded to find us another vehicle. The only downside was that we wound up with larger vehicle which was a little more challenging on some of the narrower, one-way streets we travelled on. Other than that, we were pleased with the service and the vehicle. No fuss, just dealt with the issue. "

" We are very happy with Europcar. We received an upgrade which we were happy with. Staff were helpful..especially at drop-off. The person helping us even went to get a buggy for us to help us with our luggage. We will definitely use Europcar if we go to Europe next year. We highly recommend them. There were no problems. "

" The experience with Auto Europe was very positive. "
" The check-out and check-in processes were very slow. We had a number of problems with the car. The cigarette lighter to charge the GPS did not work. The car had not been fully cleaned. A warning light came on while we were in another country, and we were concerned it was not safe to drive the car. It took an hour on the phone to achieve no resolution. The resolution suggested was to leave the car in Croatia, and take the bus to Italy to pick up a different car! Very poor service. "

" In my case, I end up with a larger car than what I pay for, great costumer service. "
" I'm a long time costumer and never was let down, great service and dependable vehicles at reasonable prices. "
" Appreciated help in booking the vehicle. Arranged pickup in Venice and drop off at Airport. Very convenient since we spent the first three days of our holidays Venice proper and then picked up the renal car for our drive to Tuscany. "
" We received an upgraded vehicle - Fiat Tipo. Excellent reception and service. "
" Very easy to book online. Lots of car choices. Easy to choose pick up point and drop off location. "
" Great car. Almost brand new! "
" Great pick up in Venice and easy drop off in Rome, once I found address and floor level. "
" same as above, had a great little Lancia racing car, all that was missing was the horsepower but it got us where we needed to go. On a side note, don't try to drive in Italy without a GPS! The one I brought with me paid for itself the moment we drove off the parking lot and hit the many round abouts and exits. Couldn't have enjoyed the drive any better with it and a lot worse without. "
" Great service. "
" Could improove speed processing lineup. "
" Excellent service and even a sudden small change of plans was dealt with courteously and smoothly "
" Nice clean good car and excellent service "
" was very pleased with the information provided at booking time and the expertise of the agent. Could not have asked for anything better. "
" Had absolutely no trouble with pick up or with return. Everything went well and had no trouble with the car either. Very pleased!! Made our vacation all the better! "
" Easy on-line booking. Good prices compared to other companies. "
" Good service, easy check-in and check-out when returning it. The car (Alpha Romeo Giulietta) was very nice and clean when we picked it up -- and lovely to drive. "
" The cars were what we had requested and even with a sudden last minute change to plans all went well. "
" 1st time we book with this company and we are very satisfied with it's service "
" The rental office was far from the airport. They should add more signs up for directions leading to their office "
" Efficient and pleasant interactions with staff "
" Very pleased with car and service. "
" Our whole experience with Eruopcar was very good. "
" The experience was very good. My only suggestion was that the inside office should have a sign stateing that you need to get your car checked over by the guys outside before you stand in line on return. Not knowing this we stood in line for 20 minutes, just to be told to go back out and see the guy to get it checked over, "
" Very simple to book. Good price. Pick was well organized, as was drop off. "
" Agent was very helpful and fluent in English. No hidden fees or trying to upswell anything. Very pleasant experience. "
" I was very pleased with the whole experience. I tell all my friends to use auto europe when they travel. I needed a last second rental and your staff were just great. "
" Hardly had any wait time when picking up car. Staff were helpdul and car was in excellent condition "
" The car was not clean inside. The Attended told us that the car came from Sardenia and did not have time to clean. We rental office in Venice to tell them that the car was not clean and had no satisfaction from them. Liz "
" The price and service was fantastic. I will for certain recommend Auto Europe to others. "
" Absolutely seamless pick up and drop off. No extras, no hidden taxes or insurance requests. Perfect. "
" I was not pleased when I returned the car at Marco Polo Airport that there was no one there to receive the car and keys. I had checked the day before, and I was assured that there was always someone at the car return, and there would be someone there even at 4:30 a.m. when I needed to return the car. I was not the only person returning a car at that time, and we were all concerned about leaving cars and keys in an unattended lot. "
" I was very satisfied with my Auto Europe dealings. I was able to rent the car for a good price, booking several months in advance. "
" The car was not available at the pickup location (Piazzale Roma, Venice) and after a long wait, we were shuttled to another location to pickup a car that was dirty on the exterior. Unlike with previous car rentals, we had no maps provided with this one. There was no fluid in the windshield washer reservoir. The return of the car at a different city (Rome) was smooth and efficient. There were no gas stations in the final approach to the Rome airport, so I was not able to top up the fuel. As a result, the rental company charged me an outlandish service fee over and above the fuel cost (it was already 3/4 full). "
" Very efficient and extremely helpful. "
" Extremely busy office but car was ready when it was finally our turn at their counter. "
" Have used Auto Europe 2 summers in a row. Great service and prices. Customer service by toll free is friendly and efficient. "
" Pick up and return was quick. "
" Repeat customer who has been satisfied each time. "
" Vehicle was delivered as promised after about a one hour delay from our arrival time. Operation was very busy but staff were cordial and professional. Tried to change the termination of contract to extend for a few hours, could not modify contract on line as stated in contract. When telephone contact made, at 1- 888 number, rate quoted was several hundred dollars for a few hours which made no sense to us. On returning vehicle on time, we observed lots of vehicles available. "
" Very good. A bit expensive compare to other, but good quality car. "
" The pick up at Marco Polo was a breeze. Very nice staff, funny and helpful. Returning the car at Plaza Romale was less obvious and the staff couldn't care less, but ok I guess. "
" Will definitely use you again. Very good staff that we interacted with in Maine - no problem switching cars at the last moment (and got a better price on what we felt was a better car.) "
" Need to provide a bit more information on how to drive the car rather than just handing the keys offer - but we figured it out and dropping the car off was painless. "
" No issues "
" Great car "
" Booking was very easy "
" Car Rental was alright, the car was ready when I arrived and had no issues. Only thing is that the insurance for car rentals are too high and I have my own personal insurance but not allowed to use it and have to purchase the insurance with Autoeurope. "

" We had an unfortunate situation with an extremely flat tire on the autostrada. We had to deal with the language issue......and the spare tire put on by a tow-truck driver which did not really solve our problem as we still needed to have a tire repaired or get another car. ende up by turning the car in 3 days early and flying to Rome. Expensive situation. "

" It's easy to deal with Auto Europe. I reserved on line and everything went well. "
" We had to wait at least 45 minutes after the paperwork was done before someone took us to the car which is near the Marco Polo Airport. Total time lost was over an hour. "
