Automania at Bari Airport

Pros: New car, fast checks, easy pick up and drop off.

Cons: The staff insists on selling additional insurance even when we have bought full coverage. She gives worrying examples of huge costs if car breaks down or damaged if we don't buy their insurance.

Cons: Tried to scare me into buying the premier insurance

Pros: Friendly staff, fast service.

Cons: n.a.

Pros: I found the rental company through discoverycars.com. The booking went smoothly. I recommend not insuring your car through an intermediary - search only on-site at Automania - this way you avoid a deposit and will not be charged with any additional costs in the event of a collision, scratches, etc. A bus picked me up on site, at the roundabout to the left of the exit from the arrivals hall in Bari. In 2 minutes we were at the office, the car was already waiting (the same with taking us to the ai

Pros: To be honest I can't comment due to the initial hiccup with delayed flight and my booking being cancelled. Fortunately Automania were able to offer us a replacement. At a cost to me obviously. So having booked through discovery cars and paid a deposit, plus insurance cover. I then had to pay another £368. Not the start you need to your holiday.

Cons: The above

Pros: They were friendly and very helpful

Cons: They did not accept the insurance cover I took out with Discover cars.

Pros: good value

Cons: wheel low pressure light was on when recieved the car. seems wheel pumps are not a thing ar many gas stations in Italy…

Pros: A really fast and friendly return of the car and transfer to airport.

Cons: Most importantly - Automania claimed the All Risks Insurance we bought does not fully cover all risks. They insisted we may pay adfitionally up to EUR2600 if not accept their 'full cover offer'. The agent was pushing a lot to accept it. We declined, but the other clients were scary enough to take it. The second thing was the car - we paid some more to get VW Golf (or equivalent), but we got a poor chinese something named DR 3.0 - a class nowhere near VW Golf. In overall, I will never use them.

Pros: nothing

Cons: hhard to contact. slow pick up at airport as we waited in sun. Very hard sell on full insurance at a rip off price

Pros: They were very friendly and responsive, answering my questions and providing all the extra fees they chat for everything

Cons: They don’t have a decent pickup spot at the airport, lots of misinformation and their working hours are terrible.

Pros: The car was brand new and perfect condition. We loved it!

Cons: The frond desk officer stressed us a lot about what we might pay if something happens to the car - encouraging us to buy their full insurance. Finally we were stressed all the time something not to happen to the car which was really not nice

Pros: Nothing special

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The pick-up/drop off was relatively painless and they did collect us from and drop us back to the airport which was appreciated.

Cons: I felty we were being mislead about the condition of the car. It wasn't brand new, it had 48,000km on it and there were multiple marks plus the defective wing mirror. Also, no water in the windscreen washer reservoir which is a very basic requirement.

Cons: Extremely hard sell on insurance that was more expensive than rental.

Cons: Long time waiting at the airport for shuttle to the office. Insurance offers which seems not very serious to me.

Pros: They give me brand new car. I was very happy with this.

Cons: they hard want to sell my their insurance, for more money. They told me that Discover car not covered parking scratches on the car if somebody scratch the car

Pros: When i droped off the car, everything was too easy and quick.The staff did they job perfect

Cons: When i picked up the car, the agent at the desk almost immediatly started to explane that i have to make a additional insurance, otherwise i wiil not be sure that everything will be ok.

Pros: Smooth - in and out very quickly and very helpful!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: everything

Cons: there were no problems

Pros: Buono il servizio ritiro e consegna auto con personale attento e gentile. Auto nuova e conforme alla descrizione

Cons: Una delle addette al check in continuava a ripetere erroneamente che la mia carta non era valida. Fortunatamente la collega ha provveduto a fare le opportune verifiche e procedere con la consegna auto

Pros: efficient and explained the costs if there was any damage caused to the car.

Cons: Car was the worst I have ever hired. damage everywhere. No confidence with returning car as I expected to be showed damage that I didn't cause. I pointed out damage to the agent before I collected the car and this was not recorded. I had to show a video to the agent for him to believe I did not cause this damage

Pros: Top service. Recommended indeed

Cons: Car was not “new” so to speak. But did her job without any problem. Not an issue for me

Pros: nothing

Cons: Don't rent here, even if it's the cheapest! The worst service ever. they tried to sell me an insurance by lying to me, The minute I refuse to buy their insurance, the desk managers started treating me as shit. When I returned the car, they found a scratch that they say it wasn't there before, but it was impossible to prove so because the pictures they sent didn't include that part of the car. The price they charged for the damage was the same price they charged for the insurance... coincidence?

Pros: Very efficient in their service and staff were very friendly and accomodating

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice quick and easy although not so easy to find pick up at air port if you don't know the area, although staff very friendly and able to help over the phone.

Cons: Honestly nothing really of any negative opinion although it wasn't the car we reserved.

Pros: - spoke English, clear procedure

Cons: - rather insisting on extra insurance which wasn't needed because of indirect rental

Pros: Awful experience, I have contacted discover cars support service as now I no longer want to continue with a future booking with discover cars after our terrible experience with automania

Cons: Staff were aggressive to us, calling us names in Italian when we asked could the car be moved to a lighted area to inspect it. Car was not clean when we got, on returning the car they charged us a €15 cleaning fee and again staff were aggressive apart from one lovely gentleman.

Cons: The car was received extremely scratched up. Upon returning the car, I was told there was a “new” scratch on the side view mirror. We showed them the video we had taken when we received the car and explicitly showed them this “new” scratch. I was told they didn’t see this scratch on our videos and pictures and that it had to be new. Don’t book this company! They will try to nickel and dime you at every turn!

Pros: Nothing, rude and aggressive

Cons: None, worst service I’ve ever received, the lady working the desk was horrible

Pros: Price, communication with the agent.

Cons: Problem to find shuttle to pick us up from the airport. Too long time in the office for dropping the car.

Pros: good price

Cons: Poor service, the lady sked for all card details including CVC

Cons: Despite i have the most expensive discovercars insurance, We were strongly advised to make extra insurance... therefore, more around 150 euros. at the end of the process, even before the car returning process was not concluded, we were pressured to make, imediatly, a review of their services .
