|Oct 2023The car was not properly prepared. They were behind , it was given a quick clean then handed over too us to inspect. The mileage on my invoice didn’t match. It has the previous drivers mileage included in mine. I took some pictures of things I thought were important. Car had no windshield washer fluid , found out highway, car was down oil, and tire had a slow leak that I nursed through the duration of our trip. When we returned they tried to say I damaged the plastic hubcap . I explained it was like that upon giving it to me . They said why didn’t I take a picture of it , I asked why didn’t you spend the time to point out all previous damages. They charge me $270 for a plastic hubcap that they probably won’t change. I have dealt with other car companies in Rome with no issues. I will never choose Avis again anywhere in the world. Stay away from this place in Rome.

|Jul 2023Very polite staff in pick up and drop off. Clean car. But the price I had reserved was much lower than the price I ended up paying because of the extra insurance that was necessary. Plus, big lines waiting to rent the car in 45 oC in Palermo. Should have more staff.

|May 2023Kayak and Avis both failed to notify me that an international drivers license would be needed. The people behind the desk at Avis said this was in the fine print. This is completely unacceptable and a detail this completely essential should be in bold red print. This should be better communicated to consumers to avoid such drastic issues.
