Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for being friendly, helpful, and professional, making the pickup and return processes smooth and efficient. People frequently highlight the excellent service, noting the ease of the overall experience and the quality of the cars, which are often described as clean, well-maintained, and in great condition.

Refused Reservation

The app clearly states that they accept debit card payments - they ottorize it and when you go to Italy on the counter they leave you empty handed stating that the app is bugged and you can't pay with debit card. They don't offer you any kind of solution. Gross negligence. Never again!!!

All good, only missing info where to return the car

No problems with car, everything was good. We couldn't find the car based on the point on the map which you get after scanning the QR code. And the best would be to send some informations to email or just paper in the car with map - where to return the car. Because there is no information about this, only signs on roads which you may not notice.

Excellent experience

I had an excellent experience with Sicily By Car and can honestly say it’s one of the best car rental experiences I’ve had. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, with friendly staff who made everything clear and straightforward.
The check-out was just as easy with Mario, with no unnecessary delays or complications. The car itself was in great condition—clean, comfortable, and reliable throughout the trip.
Overall, I was very impressed with the level of service and quality provided. I would definitely recommend Sicily By Car to anyone looking for a hassle-free and professional car hire experience.
