Rating: 3/10 The car itself was clean, well-maintained, and in excellent condition. I have no complaints about the vehicle. However, the overall rental experience was very disappointing. First, I had to wait in line for 40 minutes just to pick up the car. The rental price was €90, plus a deposit. Despite clearly stating that I did not want insurance, the manager misled me into believing that the insurance was mandatory basic coverage that could not be declined and would be refunded when I returned the car. When returning the vehicle, I was not charged for refuelling, as expected. However, the insurance fee of €140 for just two days was not refunded. Overall, it was extremely frustrating to end up paying €230 for a two-day rental instead of the advertised €90. The car was fine, but the misleading sales tactics and unexpected extra charges completely ruined the experience. I will most likely not use this service again.Reviewed Nov 7 2026

Worst experience I've had. At pickup they arrived late and didn't even apologize, they charged us twice for the rental plus a deposit which they haven't fixed, meaning they haven't returned any of the money, at dropoff, the office was closed because a local holiday, they didn't answer the phone nor provided instructions on where to leave the car. I ended up calling a US phone from Spain and they told me to leave the car parked on the street. After that, they charged us an extra 750€ without any justification or notice. We've already contacted them and haven't replied in 4 days... On Monday we have a meeting with a layer to take this case. Unbelievable stuff from all parties involved including Kayak which is the initial provider...Reviewed Nov 6 2026

Everything seemed great at first. Was easily able to figure it out and order my rental on line. Then I got a call and I couldn’t get the vehicle I picked, which was fine. I was then given a smaller vehicular. I was told I would be charged less for the smaller vehicular. I’m not sure how. I was quoted between $500-$600. And before leaving budget with my rental I had paid double. Over $1000.00 when I was quoted less. They didn’t give me the discount, and argued about unlimited KMS as promised in my booking on KAYAK. After living in Ontario all my life, nursing over 20 years and lived in the Barrie, Orillia area. I recently moved out of province and returned as it was a year since my father’s passing. This added stress should never been added. I will never rent from you guys again and spread the news to my family, friends and nursing colleagues.Reviewed Nov 5 2026

I waited for over 30min for my car to be available. They tried to give me a 15 passenger van when I reserved a sedan… Got to my destination late and was charged for that delay which was out of my control.Reviewed Nov 4 2026
