Smooth service, great customer service.

The staff had a very good attitude and their English was average. There was no hard-selling; we proactively purchased full insurance locally, which cost 36 euros per day. With full insurance, there was no need for a thorough vehicle inspection, and returning the car was very convenient—just park the car and drop the keys in a box. We arrived a bit late, and the smaller car we originally booked was unavailable, so they gave us a slightly larger vehicle, a Volkswagen Taigo. It was very easy to drive, especially on winding mountain roads, and provided a comfortable driving experience. It can fit a 28-inch suitcase.

Did not have the car that I requested. They said that Fiat 500 is too popular amongst thieves hence they gave us crappy Kia Picanto. The car was new but the motor was too small and not powerful enough. The pick up location is 10 minutes drive from Palermo airport. We had to call the pickup location and wait for 20 minutes to be collected. Then we spent another 30 minutes waiting for the car. All in all an average experience.

Super nice people

Ecovia staff very nice and professional. Car was ok but I didn't get the car I booked. This seems pretty standard nowadays. I booked a Kia Rio and got a Fiat 500L. It was ok in terms of getting luggage in but very underpowered fully loaded. It also had severe damage to the rear passenger door which wasn't marked on the rental doc. I had to ask it to be!

Do not rent from Ecovia/Autovia. I picked up the car at the airport, drove it to a gated residence, and parked it and didn't drive it again until I returned the car to the airport. When I returned the car, they found a "scratch" on the Back of the mirror and Ecovia wants to charge me about $160. This is a ridiculous and frivolous charge. First, it was late at night, dark and rainy when I picked up the car. I did a cursory inspection of the vehicle but who checks the back of the mirror for scratches? No American company would charge you for this. Just look at the attached picture ! I'm sure the scratch was already on the car when I picked it up because it was parked undisturbed in a garage at a residence. Maybe I was penalized for not purchasing their insurance. I appealed the charge to Ecovia/Autovia to no avail. The other practice that this company did was to give me the car with the tank 2/8ths full of gas. When this happens, the customer Always returns the car with more gas because he/she does not want to be charged. The customer deserves a car with a full tank of gas at pick-up. Start-up rental companies like Ecovia with unethical practices like this should be avoided. They drive you to the major car rentals where you know you will pay more but they won't try to screw you like Ecovia is doing to me. The low price isn't always a good deal. It bothers me that this company is getting away with screwing me on such a frivolous charge. Just look at the picture. I will not rent from Ecovia again. Buyer beware of Ecovia/Autovia!
