Upon booking, you get the 5 star treatment. Agents are very professional. The problem is the prices only. Locauto is very pricey compared to other car rentals

Good car,

The Rep at Fiumicino airport was not very nice, the car was great however when I arrived at Civitavecchia to return the car the office was closed from 13:00-15:00 and no drop off key box, just a phone number which no one answered, however the HERTZ office down the block was open,

Simply have a variety of vehicles for clients who save all year round for a vacation and it starts with the issue of the travel bags don’t all fit in the car and when I asked if I can cancel the rental and go see the competition for a bigger car the LOCAUTO agent replied rudely and said it can’t be refunded because I booked through BOOKING.COM how stupid is this reason for vacationers in a foreign country also a simple solution could have helped by having the ability to rent a THULE to increase the baggage space

We went to pick up our car at Locauto…

We went to pick up our car at Locauto Rent at the main office in Civitavecchia, and the service provided by the young man at the counter was very poor. We had to wait for an hour before being attended to, even though there was only one couple and one other person ahead of us.

The employee was completely unprofessional and never explained the reason for the delay. He was the only person serving customers at the time. My daughter, who lives in Switzerland, called him to ask about the situation, but he hung up on her and claimed that there were many people waiting, which was simply not true.

Fortunately, a very kind lady who works with the tourist buses noticed what was happening and helped us.

For that reason, I am giving 2 stars. The service from the employee and the company at the main Civitavecchia office was extremely disappointing.

As for the car we received, it was fine and met our expectations.

Excellent Staff a Feature

Outstanding for me was the efficiency and client friendliness of the staff both when commencing and finishing a rental. We rented Locauto cars on 2 occasions in separate locations on our recent trip. One of the cars we received, a Tiguan from Milan, was rather old and without some useful features (eg, reversing camera). The other, a VW T Cross, was excellent in every way. I will use Locauto again in the future.

Here’s a natural English review:

I had an excellent experience with this car rental company. The staff member who helped me was incredibly fast, friendly, and professional. I even received a free upgrade, which was a very nice surprise.

Returning the car was just as quick and easy, with a smooth and efficient check-in process. The entire experience was hassle-free from start to finish.

I give this car rental company a 10/10. Perfect service and highly recommended!

Attendant claimed we wee short on gas, filled up 21 miles earlier.

When I went to turn the vehicle in at the Port in Rome, we had stopped to get gas and fill up 21 miles befroe arrival. Driving the Fiat 600, I know that short distance did not consume much gas. Argued with your attendant, and since we were short on time to make our crusie ship, it was a waste of time. Cost me 71.52 euros. Very frustrated.

Dear Alexander,thank you for your feedback.
We understand your disappointment regarding the fuel charge, but we would like to clarify that our staff verifies the fuel level strictly based on the digital bars illuminated on the vehicle's dashboard at the moment of return.Regarding the €71.52 charge you mentioned, please be reminded that, as stated in our terms and conditions, when a vehicle is returned short of fuel, a refueling service fee is applied in addition to the cost of the missing liters. You can find all the detailed information and policy rules in our Special Rental Conditions here: https://portale.locautorent.com/doc/specialrentalconditions.pdf?_gl=1fbwm70_gcl_au*MTMwMzE5NjE4NS4xNzc1MDM3NTU1

I am quite disappointed. A terrible experience.

I am quite disappointed. I rented the car based on the price compared to other rental agencies. The cost of the insurance was extremely high, which came as a surprise. Additionally, I was returning the car in a different city, and I hadn't been informed that the office was closed on Saturday afternoons or that there was no option for after-hours drop-off.
I was supposed to return the car at 12:00 PM, but due to a death in the family, we were delayed and I arrived at 1:16 PM to drop it off.
Despite this, there was someone at the office who said the system was already closed and she couldn't process the return. I explained the situation, and she accepted the car with the understanding that she would update the system the following day; I agreed to this. She and another person—who wasn't wearing a uniform—got into the car and drove off. The tank was full, as required. To my surprise, I was charged for an extra day, a refueling fee, and the cost of the fuel itself.
I found this outrageous; my situation regarding the family death wasn't even taken into account, and I was charged unfairly. A terrible experience.

Thank you Bob for sharing your experience with Locauto.
As in many city locations the key box for late drop off is not guarantee. We are sorry you couldn't find a phone number, but the signed rental agreement and the voucher issued by the intermediary report our phone number and email address to get in touch with the returning location and informing in case of late arrival.
We always suggest to check the booking date and time to be sure to be on time for the returning and void extra cost.

Don’t always listen to negative reviews

I have read many horrible reviews about this company, but I have now used them 2 times in Italy and had a great service.
Had no problems either time. They go over the vehicle very carefully noting any damage before and after. I appreciate this.

A bill was sent to us for "damages"…

A bill was sent to us for "damages" that were on our vehicle while non existed, and none were commented on upon drop off. I asked if it was okay and he confirmed it was when I signed. Days later I am given a report of these made up damages with my signature underneath it. Crooked and very bad practice and will not use again because of this. The experience up to this was fine, but the deceitfulness at the end after we were gone has ruined the experience. Terrible business for trying to retain customers.
