Easy to find location for pickup, just outside The arrival area. Everything well prepared when showing my contract. Staff do not push for more sales, just brief information about insurances.

Best experience with car rental ever

Arrival after midnight was not a problem, near location to airport terminal, no hidden fees, no pushing to pay for some extra insurance, helpful and willing approach, no need of credit card, new and clean car

Fast and professional service

Fast and professional service upon pickup. Returning the car was also quick and efficient. Only directions to the "car return" facility at Catania Airport are provided.

Good car

Good car. Easy check in and check out, well organized. Only negative point was at check in, the employee gave us a story that we were too early to pick up the car but we could get another one directly if we were choosing for an upgrade. We were only 30min early but after traveling and just arriving I agreed to it to afterwards realize that it made no sense.

Everything went well

Nice personnel, easy to book and easy to find at the airport. Only finding the car itself in the big car park was a little more complicated. Would book again.

Staff was great/ serious and reliable process on car return

Staff was great, fuel package offered was fair and had a decent price, car was new and very reliable and above all that more and more LOCAUTO is becoming my number one choice - no tricks or fake problems during the car return to push for additional cost and unfair expenses. What has been agreed was charged (of course car was delivered in exactly the same conditions)

We had an extremely disappointing…

We had an extremely disappointing experience with this company.

During our trip, we got a flat tire. We immediately contacted customer support, but for 8 hours after our first call, nobody was able to help us. Every time we called, we were asked to leave our phone number and were promised a callback, but no one ever called us back. The office staff kept telling us they could not help and that we had to wait for customer support.

When we finally arrived at the office in person, we were told that we should have simply stayed in the car and waited the entire time, even though the outside temperature was 43°C (109°F). This attitude toward customers is completely unacceptable.

Since we received no assistance, we had to take a taxi to the office at our own expense, costing us €300. Only after arriving in person did they finally process our case. Unfortunately, that was not the end of our problems.

The following day, the company required us to return to the location where we had been forced to leave the vehicle in order to collect paperwork from the tow truck driver. To do this, we had to rent another car at our own expense, as the company did not provide us with a replacement vehicle or any assistance. Instead of resolving the situation, they shifted all the responsibility, organization, and additional costs onto us.

As a result, we lost two full days of our vacation, spent hundreds of euros on taxis and an additional rental car, and wasted countless hours driving, waiting, and trying to reach customer support. Despite having full insurance (except theft coverage), we were also charged an additional €190 for the towing service because of the flat tire.

The customer service was terrible. The support team was practically nonexistent, employees kept passing responsibility to each other, behaved rudely, and instead of solving the problem, tried to convince us that everything was our fault.

We would never recommend this company to anyone. If you don’t want to ruin your vacation, waste your time, and spend extra money dealing with problems that should be handled by the rental company, choose a different car rental provider.

All good, the downside is the drop off location

All went smoothly
One thing to note, the gas gauge needs to be fixed in the car i rented. It was a new Citroen as far as I remember

The downside, it was a nightmare delivering back the car in respect of the location of their office. We spent 30 minutes circling around the airport to find their entrance

Dear Alex,thank you for sharing your feedback with us!
We are delighted to hear that overall everything went smoothly with your rental. We also greatly appreciate your heads-up regarding the fuel gauge on the vehicle rented; our maintenance team will perform the necessary checks on the vehicle right away to ensure it is working properly.
Regarding the return location, we completely understand your frustration. Navigating airport returns can be tricky, and because the on-site signage is managed directly by the airport authorities, our ability to modify the signs is unfortunately limited. However, we take your comments to heart and will use them to improve the return instructions and guidance provided at the counter to help our guests find their way more easily.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip!

The car was comfortable and well…

The car was comfortable and well prepared. The staff who prepared the car and the one where we dropped it off were friendly and understanding. That's was the opposite for the staff at the counter at the airport. They were not friendly at all, and since they are the company first impression, it's not good at all. If we had a choice we would have used another car rental. Could your staff stop using their private telephone while working.

Dear Marenya,thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We are delighted to hear that the car was clean, comfortable, and well-prepared, and that you received friendly and understanding service from our turn-in and return staff.
However, we are deeply sorry to hear about your experience at our airport counter. We completely agree that our counter agents represent the first impression of our company, and receiving unprofessional or unwelcoming service is entirely unacceptable. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this caused you.
Please rest assured that we take your comments very seriously. We will address this issue directly with our location team to reinforce our professional standards and ensure our staff provides the attentive, welcoming service our guests deserve.
We truly appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a completely seamless experience from start to finish.

Dear Burak,thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We are truly sorry to hear that your experience was not completely satisfying from start to finish. Our goal is always to provide every customer with a warm and welcoming experience, though misunderstandings can occasionally happen during busy, high-stress moments.That being said, we are glad to know that everything worked out, and that you enjoyed the vehicle itself.Regarding the return signage, we understand your frustration. The signage within the airport area is managed directly by the airport authorities, which limits what we can change on-site. However, we truly value your feedback and will use it to improve the return instructions and information provided at the counter to help make the process clearer for future trips.We appreciate your business and hope to welcome you back for a seamless experience next time.

The check out experience on Catania…

The check out experience on Catania Airport was not good. It is not easy to get into the parking zone of Locauto. The check out instructions need to be more clear.
