Many car rental companies are located together. First, you need to get a ticket number and wait for a few turns, which took about ten minutes. Pretty quick. The staff on site were very friendly and didn't aggressively push insurance; they simply asked whether I had insurance, as driving on narrow mountain roads like those in Amalfi or Sicily might make it necessary. This time, they emphasized the need for an international driving license and mentioned that it could result in a fine if the police checked and you didn't have one, so it's important to take note for next time. After signing the waiver and acknowledgment form, the process went smoothly. Since I had reserved a Q5, a luxury car, they kindly asked to register my return flight details as well. It seems this requirement for an international driving license and return flight information is related to renting luxury cars; I didn't encounter this in other countries before. Just sharing this as a friendly reminder to others.

The process was quick, and they provided the reserved car, which turned out to be diesel-powered. The engine was very strong, easily handling mountain roads and highways. Be sure to have certified official documents ready, as both the car rental company and the police will only recognize these.

Following the airport signs, it was easy to find the car rental branch. After taking a number and queuing, there were three numbers ahead, and with two counters open, it took about 20 minutes to get served. The service at the pickup counter wasn’t very enthusiastic but at least they didn’t try to upsell additional insurance. (They informed us we were upgraded to a larger vehicle, but frankly, the car's condition wasn’t great; it felt unstable on the highway.) Worth mentioning, as we were concerned about the early morning return for our flight (the branch officially opened at 8 AM, and we were worried self-service return might lead to issues), we opted to return the car the night before. At the counter, we learned the return location actually opens at 7 AM, so we asked to adjust our return time to 7 AM. They were very accommodating, updated the system, and did not charge extra fees. This time, we rented two vehicles, but neither was in good condition. The Cupra we rented was particularly difficult to drive; its performance in every aspect was subpar. We were a little worried during the return process because, after refueling, we accidentally took a wrong turn and drove an extra ten kilometers, fearing it might not count as a full tank. Additionally, due to time constraints, we didn’t wash the car and only did a basic cleanup. However, the return process turned out surprisingly smooth.

Overall, it was quite good. The drop-off process was efficient, with no damage or accidents. They upgraded me from a Peugeot 208 to a Citroën C3 manual diesel. The car had over 80,000 kilometers on it. I had to add AdBlue myself, costing over 16 euros. QEEQ mentioned I could get reimbursed from the rental company, but I threw away the receipt. Sisilybycar doesn't charge extra for cross-country trips, which is great!

Everything was great. They didn’t try to hard sell the additional insurance. They did go over the car with a fine toothed comb but I didn’t have any damage. Staff was nice enough.
