Rented a Mercedes A-3 at the Palermo Airport. Pick up process was chaotic as in normal in Italy. I read that you want to make sure you have sufficient damage coverage so that you don't have to fight with them if something happens to the car. When I rented the car on line, I was directed to Allianz where I purchased trip insurance and car rental damage and theft coverage for $77 with a maximum benefit of $75,000. When I picked up the car at the airport, the agent told me I had no insurance coverage. I ended up purchasing the super damage waiver and a few other extra coverages ( probably not needed) which I now determine to be about $225 so the whole insurance coverage cost me about $300 while the cost to rent the car for a week was $500. Also, the Kayak estimate showed estimated taxes, fees and surcharges at $140 but the road tax and surcharges were $160 plus a 22% VAT of another $205. So what I expect to be a total rental cost of $830 ended up being $1135. Despite the pricing issues, the car was great and the drop off process was easy.

I booked a SUV, Volkswagen T-cross or similar. I was given a Volkswagen Golf, which is cheaper and one class lower on their website. A Golf is mot an SUV. I hit my head on their sign when picking up the car, didn't realize this at first. I wasn't offered a partial refund for the difference in price at my drop-off location. They told me this: A Volkswagen golf is a SUV, and the same class as a T-cross! Leaving an honest review and giving you as little stars as I can is the only thing I can do now. Shame on you.

Even though we don’t speak Italian, everything was very smooth at the check-in counter and where we picked up the car. Everyone we interacted with was very professional and kind. No complaints!

The car was in great shape, we thought it was too expensive but that was the only problem. Supply and demand I suppose!

All was good. New car, very good service both at Pick-up and return. Only problem was that the card POS machines thatHertz (who administers Dollar) uses, do not "read" some USA cards when inserted. Happy y(In our case a Mastercard). And according to Hertz / Dollrk Ku their procedures they cannot swipe it nor use the touchless feature. We had to use another credit card

Refused to provide car, despite reservation, since we didn’t have international drivers permit, which is not required by law in Italy, but still charged our credit card for the full rental.There was a very long line of tourists at the counter experiencing the same issues.

Staff were very helpful but had to wait a little more than expected for the car to be made available (it was an upgrade). Lucio was terrific and extremely helpful at the receiving end of the process. We are hover not impressed with the fact that as far as we can see, our deposit amount has yet to be returned to our bank account,

Just a note for other travellers, there is no petrol station in the Airport. The nearest one is 10 km so fill the tank before you arrive. Luckily we had plenty of time :)
