Ecovia is a rip-off rental company

we got really good deal, since it was out of season. The car was not in a great shape, but If was really good deal so I could not complain.

Everything was fine

The car was badly damaged by someone who had previously maliciously scratched the bonnet and doors, it was quite embarrassing to drive around in a car like that.

Everything was fine

Booked a Fiat 500 or similar. We got a Panda which was ready for the knackers yard. The accompanying document was highlighted with numerous bumps and scratches with a broken wheel trim. A yellow warning light came on soon after driving away and each time I turned right, the front left wheel screeched. It was a little unnerving when going up hairpin bends. At night the dipped lights were dim. The mileage was over 102,000 km when collected. When dropped off Pablo the Panting Panda, the rep didn’t really care after I told him about the faults. Cheap yes... Cheerful no...

Great service. Even reduced the price. Good comms. Just need to make sure I pick another hire car company.

The facilities near Milan Central Station are inside a private parking lot, with no exterior sign. Hard to find. The clerk in Milan was helpful and gave us all the information we asked for. But once he brought the car, he left immediately, without checking in our presence the dents, scratches and lack of accessories in the car - and there were many. My husband went back inside to call him, and he said everything was already listed in the contract. Meanwhile, someone else came to pick up his car from the parking lot, and our car was blocking the exit. I took some photos of the exterior of the car, and we left without being able to check the contract. The car itself - a fiat cinquecento - was very worn down - 88000 km. The trunk door didn't close properly unless you tried several times. The trunk lid was missing. There weren't mats. The car wasn't properly clean - there was dog fur in the trunk. The radio antenna was missing. We dropped off the car near Malpensa Airport. The location is easy to find, at a Gas Station. When the clerk checked the defects on the car, bingo, most of them weren't listed in the contract, which had my digital signature. I showed the pictures I had made and he called his superiors. They approved it and nothing was charged. Yet, an unpleasant situation. Both the drop off and pick up were fast, though.
