Drivalia at Brindisi Airport

Pros: Only that it is in the terminal

Cons: The car was crap dirty outside and especially inside. At some point the electronic key wasn't working and we needed help but they never answered the phone. Drivali a is off the map as far as I am concerned

Pros: Friendly staff, no pushy insurance selling and no one trying to catch you out with damage on the car. a fair, straight forward hire co

Cons: limited smaller cars and generally not as clean

Pros: Honestly there was no part of the service that was competent, from pick up to drop off.

Cons: You advertise you open till 11pm - people plan around that - and then you go home early and people have to change their plans and book hotels at last minute. The car was in a disgusting condition, completely covered in dust and dirt on outside with white writing on front windscreen. We took pictures. It should not take 2 hrs and 25 mins to pick up a car, every other car rental in airport was had a 10 to 15 min wait. Upon drop off again no one was present. In total it was absolutely horrendous

Pros: Forse il prezzo

Cons: Troppo lunghi i tmepi di consegna

Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient

Cons: They could not extend my contract for 2 more weeks at or near the price that I paid for the 5 days

Pros: The car was excellent. They gave me a quite large car but I decided to switch to a smaller one. The Drivalia agent made the switch (change of contract) immediately without any problem. In about 5 minutes, I was already placing my luggage into the other car. AMAZING! This was really a stunning service. The car was good runner and cheap. When I returned the car process even super easy because I just dropped the key in their yellow car key box. The whole process was smooth. Deposit was refunded.

Cons: Nothing to complain!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: 2hours wait for car pick up. Insufficient staff and a very slow process. Car with broken door lock. Key battery uncharged. No spare or tyre pressure unit initially.

Pros: We ordered an automatic petrol car (fuel-full to full) and when we arrived we were told that we had ordered an electric car! We asked to change to a petrol car which we were given on the understanding that we paid 30eu more! Then it turned out to be diesel.

Cons: Agents at pick up and drop off were dismissive and unhelpful. Our car arrived without a full tank. We tried to match it but it was difficult. At drop off were were told to go and get 10eu of fuel or pay 48 eu for them to do it. Absolutely appalling. We had left lots of time but the agent was clearly banking on the fact that we'd be in a rush and hoping for the 48 eu. Will not use this company again.

Pros: When I picked up the car in Brindisi Airport, the woman at the counter was quite unfriendly and did not take my concerns seriously. She also refused to accept my card because it said “debit” on it, even though it is both a debit and a credit card. She was not willing to listen or consider this explanation. Additionally, the staff member who handed over the car gave no explanation or information at all — he simply walked me to the car and left. The vehicle itself was not clean, inside or outside.

Cons: On a positive note, the car was very pleasant to drive, and the return process at Bari Porto was quick and friendly.

Pros: Fast and efficient service

Cons: No explanations about the missing spare tyre in the trunk

Pros: Nothing they were terrible

Cons: Everything. I will be claiming a full refund. Ruined my trip

Pros: They are hardworking but efficient - with an inability to handle the volume of business (at times)

Cons: No one to approve your returned car. However they are honest and don’t try to charge you for extras when you had to leave your car unexamined in order to catch a flight.

Pros: The price was good, considering I rented an SUV in Puglia during the peak summer season, so that's fine. I also appreciated the online customer service (customerservice@drivalia.com) when I asked them to provide a report attesting to the good condition of the car I dropped off at the airport early in the morning, when the office was closed. I also appreciated how quickly the security deposit was refunded to my credit card.

Cons: The lady at the counter spoke too quietly, behind a glass without amplification, it was hard to understand her. She was annoyed about having to repeat herself and treated customers as if they couldn’t understand. Long queue and a wait of about an hour at the counter. The contract was never sent via email, I discovered the damages to the car at the parking lot. There, no one was available to clarify why the fuel level was at 90% instead of full. The car was also dirty.

Pros: airport presence, relatively cheap

Cons: dirty car in bad condition, less fuel than promised

Pros: Awful

Cons: Staff unhelpful. Given keys inside airport and told to find car in a large carpark- no staff or assistance. Car was filthy inside and outside. Petrol tank was not full as should be. Huge queue inside the airport so didn’t have time to wait and report as only one staff member inside cabin and no options. When returning car again no assistance or proper checkout. Received a bill for an extra day car hire when I returned the car as I should earlier than time I booked. Awful experience.

Pros: Freundlicher Service

Cons: Lange Wartezeit

Pros: Once details are registered, pick up is really fast.

Cons: Car choice has become less premium.

Pros: Stuff was extremly agile.

Cons: Deposit can only be provided by CREDIT CARD.

Pros: Plus jamais de location chez eux !!

Cons: Service désastreux, personnel incompétent et frauduleux !!

Pros: The agent was outstanding ,helpful and supportive.

Cons: Scammed me. Delayed flight, but Drivalia didn't answer my calls and cancelled my booking without refund.

Pros: The only positive was drop off at Naples airport. The collection and car condition was very poor.

Cons: Everything except the drop off

Pros: Pick up at airport and price if hire

Cons: Attitude towards my son when arrived late due to flight delay

Cons: Agents are unfriendly, do not speak English and refuse to acknowledge pre-existing damage on the car. The car was not tanked full and was very dirty on outside and inside.

Pros: Not very much. Counter staff were obviously not interested in providing any kind of service, and appeared to be ready to go home.

Cons: The car was dirty, the windscreen was dangerously filthy (inside!!) and made driving very difficult on the first night, the car was rented with a tyre warning, and it was half full of fuel despite the contract document saying it was full. Discover cars were notified and failed to respond or take any action. Terrible service.

Pros: La qualité du service. Pas trop d'administratif. Les conducteurs de plus de 65 ans sont acceptés.

Cons: Ma voiture n'était pas prêtea la location. Le préposé m'en a rapidement trouvé une autre avec surclassement.

Pros: Quick to pick up. Good location

Cons: The car fuel was not full to full. This makes it impossible to have it the same level as they gave me the car. Hence having to spend more money to fill it. Back door drivers side had a sticker on it saying do not open!! As I was meeting friends who were leaving my house I had no time to go back and question this. The car was not clean inside with water marks in the passenger seats. Generally poor condition.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Long line at the desk to pick up the car. Rudeness from employer, No avasilability of the car i ha a resevation. Nobody escort me to pick up the car and presence of big damage on the exteriori of the car not written in the contract. once i dropped off the car, dorpping the key at the drop Box, theu sent me an invoice asked me to pay for damaged i've never made.

Pros: It was friendly and quick

Pros: They didn't try to charge me for extra stuff.

Cons: The car itself could have been in better condition.

Pros: Hood customer service and nice car

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was perfect, easy pick at the airport terminal, car was clean, easy dropping, deposit quickly refund

Pros: Shocking, team were rude, no pre checks on the damage of the car performed on collection, we were left to wonder around a car park to find the car, the car was filthy in side, sand every where, spoke to the Drivalia team who responded ‘I have seen worse’ Cars Bluetooth did not work - never again!

Cons: When they don’t have you car model they give you an “equivalent” which is lower quality (also cheaper in the website) than the originally booked car.

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: We queued for 2 hours to get the key of the car, and we were asked to "go and find" the car in the car park. After we found it, we drove back home. The car was old and awful. There were damages not reported in the car report so when we asked what to do, the agent said to take the pictures and that we would have been fine. We drop off the car and were charged 300 euros for the damage which we did not make, we made more than 30 calls to talk to Drivalia and no one ever answered the phone.

Pros: We have not had cars from Drivalia when using Discover card. When we picked up the car we were told it was parked in the general car park, after half hour of us and representative searching for it it was eventually located where it should of been cleaned and ready for us. However I noticed when returning car they have allocated parking pick up and return facilities now so hopefully that will not happen again.

Cons: It may be policy but when I tried to add my name as additional driver as after arriving my husband was taken ill and admitted into hospital . I was told it was not possible. because the contract had started however I was quoted 3x the amount of original car price to hire another directly from them . I hired another with a different company for a lot less and then went on line and hired one for a further week with Drivilia for a substantial lot less than quoted at the desk.

Pros: Easy

Cons: Slow puncture in back left tyre. Car was dirty because of sand storm. Older model.

Pros: Good location, staff friendly

Cons: Car ordered not available, bigger car only available so spent double the amount of fuel. Car was not cleaned and even found receipt for last persons hotel bill and rubbish……

Cons: Attesa troppo lunga

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: Not your fault but the car, an upgrade was a dud. A DR4 it was totally unsuitable for the narrow streets of southern Italy. It was also very heavy on petrol costing me €120 for 11 days

Pros: Slow agents took almost 2 hours to collect the car and then the car with 9 seats wasn't there so we had to all squeeze into a 7 seat car

Cons: Car they did give us was dirty and hadn't been cleaned after the last user. Collect ling the car was chaos and took 2 hours of queueing with 3 childrbin35 degree c heat and then when we got served they didn't have the car despite the fact we had paid fully beforehand to confirm the 9 seater would be there.

Pros: Rental agents very friendly and professional

Cons: The car was dirty outside, but very clean inside. Hybrid car with problems to the electric battery, but this does not impacted on the ICE engine, which worked perfectly. Great value for money anyway

Cons: Quick and easy

Pros: Very quick service

Cons: X

Pros: good price, the car rental agent did not insist on buying additional insurance when I told him that I had already insured it with you, no problems with early return of the car (outside working hours)

Cons: the car was not the cleanest when we got it, but we got it very quickly. So it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Pros: Easy to find as we chose a rental car within the aiport. Reservations were ready and everything was pretty fast.

Cons: I wish the agent had told us that the car was hybrid as it ran on both gasoline and GPL. We figured that out after our first fill up when some lights started beeping and turning red. We stopped at a gas station and the attendant was nice enough and explained that this particular car could run on both. Of course he told us to use GPL as its much cheaper.

Pros: The car was good

Cons: They were painfully slow and supplied me with half a tank of fuel. I reported this and was told to retun it half full, which I did but they have now charged me re-fuelling costs!!

Cons: The tank was half full of fuel, we took a picture, the paperwork said it was full. We asked an agent and they said bring it back half full. We did and got charged for the fuel, refuel fee and vat. I phoned them at their main office in Italy on my return to get a refund. Although I had photographs to support my claim they said they would look into it and although I call again twice they did nothing.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Cheated.

Pros: Unkomplizierte Abwicklung.

Cons: Es war schwierig das Fahrzeug auf dem doch so grossen Flughafenparkplatz zu finden. Ungenaue Standortangabe des Fahrzeuges und keine Begleitung dazu.

Pros: Service was efficient.

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Fast pick up of the car and friendly employees

Cons: Hard to find where you need to drop your keys.

Pros: we got den 2 car very fast and the big enough

Cons: first car was to small and the car had a oilproblem, after we had oilproblems, we had to paid not only for the gasolin also extra 25 euro...

Pros: Fijne ruime auto.

Cons: Relatief lang wachten. Rommelig kantoor. Auto was niet schoon. Niet xompleet volgetankt. Geen ruitensproeiervloeistof aanwezig, geen parkeerkaart. Na 1 dag heb ik olie bij moeten gooien omdat het lampje brandde. Inleveren waa niet goed doorgesproken. Ook niet duidelijk op de site te vinden . Borg is nog steeds niet vrijgegeven sinds 10 dagen. Niet te bereiekn voor contact. Telefoon/ sms/ mail. Ook via de manager Niet bereikbaar. Misschien een keer pech maar ip voorlopig even geen Drivalia.

Pros: The rental was good value and the car was in good condition

Cons: As above

Pros: Our car was better than what we had booked because of the sheer chaos of the system.

Cons: 2 hour wait at airport, return process not clear, difficult to find car in car park and difficult to find space when returning.

Cons: I ordered a baby seat which was not available to me when I went to pick up the car, causing immense stress for me. Also waited in line for 2 hours to get the car.

Pros: The car itself was nice, was an upgrade from what I expected

Cons: The rental desk at brindisi airport is inadequate. Other companies have multiple desks ms offer much quicker service. Was waiting over 30 minutes both on pick up and drop off of car which was quite stressful. Also operator didn’t tell us where the car actually was.

Pros: Not much, organised chaos

Cons: Everything

Pros: Zero

Cons: Unprofessional and not open when we arrived , unlike every other car rental desk in Brindisi airport.

Pros: Dent in back and broken light. Scuffed alloys.

Cons: Terrible customer service at kiosk. Poor quality, dirty child seat. Check-out took too long. No walk-around before leaving. No direction to where car was parked. Disorganised return and no guidance on where to return to. 3/10 based on car alone.

Pros: Cheaper than the alternatives

Cons: We queued fir 3 hours to collect our car upon arrival. The car was dirty inside and clearly hadn't been cleaned, needed air in tyres and windscreen wash immediately. The communication was poor and unclear. We have received a road tax bill after use which we were not aware of.

Cons: Drivalia agent at the desk was very unhelpful. He gave me a much bigger car than I had booked because there was no availability of small cars. Then when I refused to drive the SUV he gave me a very dirty and damaged small car without printing a contract.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Rental office was closed on a delayed flight ! Leaving us stranded ! Only car available the next morning was half full of petrol and a wheel puncture , appalling service

Cons: The car had many warnings, including 2 tire pressure alerts and electrical charging plug alert. We called the support desk, call center was very responsive. The agent gave us a few numbers of offices that can help us but it was impossible to reach them for 2 days. we gave up. We specifically picked a hybrid car, but it was not possible to charge. Car had damages all around. Overall, it was not a pleasent experience.

Cons: It took forever to pick up the car, almost 2 hours. Only one desk open. I would chose another (smaller) provider next time.

Pros: Pick up process slow. Not enough agents considering demand.

Cons: Car was faulty. Had to return in person at risk of it breaking down, in order to change vehicles. Almost missed the wedding I was attending. Staff rude and uncurteous.

Pros: Was upgraded to larger car - swift service plus no hard sell of unwanted insurance

Cons: Inefficient processing of all car rental customers.

Pros: Awful. We spent two and a half hours standing in a queue. The Drivialia agent spent approx 15 minutes with each customer. The paperwork I signed took me a minute, the rest of the time the agent spent processing it and him and his colleagues didn't seem in a hurry either. Surely they know what flights are coming in and prepare the necessary information for you to simply sign,take a key and go. I would pay more and use another rental company next time

Cons: Inefficient service - 2 hours waiting to get keys for car. No marking of damage on the contract form despite scratch damage to both sides of car and a dent on left wing. Had to spend more time waiting to find a representative to come and sign off all the damage. Very amateur set up with young employees.

Cons: My brother booked with locauto which allowed you to input driver details in advance online. He picked up his car more quickly.

Pros: They upgraded the car immediately as the car they had for us was automatic and my daughter had never driven this before.

Cons: very good service but oh dear the wait at the desk is never ending...Lack of staff at the desk as only one person who took at least 20 minutes with one customer; We were very stressed by the situation at drop off as we had a plane to catch...Obviously!!!! The desk opened at 8am and our flight was at 9:20 so we were already tight on time but goodness me the wait was terrible!!!!

Pros: Services, freundlich, einfach & schnell

Cons: Preis

Pros: Ease of finding the desk and the parking lot. Upgrade of vehicle group.

Cons: The car needed air for tires and had the service light flashing. The water for the windscreen was very little.

Cons: keine reaktion und keine endabrechnung

Pros: Upgrade to better car

Cons: No remarks

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Our flight was delayed meaning we were late arriving. When we arrived at our destination the car hire office was shut. We tried to ring Drivalia before our departure from London many times to warn them of our late arrival but nobody picked up. Also we had Discovery Cars email them to warn them of our late arrival. Fortunately all the other car hire companies had remained open and we were able to hire a car for the evening to get us to our accommodation ( 80 euros).

Pros: the drop off was very easy and quick.

Cons: at first we were assigned a dirty and broken car, but after talking to the agents there, we got another car, which was great.

Pros: I bought an insurance (full option) in discovercars, it is written on voucher, and rental agent didn't want to sell me another one proposed by Drivalia. That was expected behavior by me. In addition, I got a car of a higher class than I ordered for the same price, and that was unexpected by me.

Cons: Long queue supported only by 1 and second (from time to time) person.

Pros: Gasoline tank missing about 10%

Pros: Drop off at the end of the rental period was easier than expected though no one gave us info, we just worked it out for ourselves through Google

Cons: Waiting one and a half hours to pick up due to huge queue at Brindisi. No communication from the Drivalila personnel - just sign here, sign here - without any explanation of what we were being asked to sign.

Pros: The car was new and a high spec

Cons: We travelled with another family who booked a car from Drivalia via booking.com. They were supposed to receive the car after their flight two days before ours. At Drivalia checkin they were told there were no cars available and were not offered any other car or compensation. This was very late at night. Drivalia are refusing to engage with Booking.com but have told booking.com that our friends were late for pick up rather than not having a car for them. I would never use Drivalia again!!!!

Pros: Office and Card very near

Pros: Small Car for small roads. All funds taken were correct and pre authorisation was also correct.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Finding the drivalia parking to return the car was not easy. There were no signs that point to the right direction so we had to drive around a couple of times and ask employees for help.

Cons: Picking up the car took 1 hour! It was exhausting and no one apologized for the delay.

Pros: Efficient and economical.

Cons: Slow pick-up. Needs more staff at busy times.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Disintetested

Pros: Very good car for the price paid

Cons: Problem with faulty petrol cap not opening and so unable to refuel and had to call the office several times, but with no real assistance fromthem. In the end, we had to find a garage ourselves and pay them £20 Euros to enable us to open the petrol cap, but even then, only by pulling removing the interiro side panel from the boot and pulling a wire to release the petrol cap. As a reult of this, we lost 1 whole days use of the vehicle and are seeking some compensation/reimbursement for this.

Cons: The car that was supplied was an older Jeep Compass that had 12 separate damage listing's on It. The car itself had had over 64,000 km on the odometer. The drop off point in Matera was difficult to find as was situated in a car dealership. I would not rent a car from Drivalia again.

Pros: convenienza, assistenza al rilascio ed alla consegna

Cons: auto con piccolo danno

Cons: N/A

Pros: Friendly

Cons: 1,5h to pick up car

Cons: when extending by phone the Leasys agent could not speak English. Fortunately my wife speaks some Italian!

Pros: Quick and easy to pick up a new car

Cons: I spent nearly 2 hours over 3 days on the phone trying to speak to someone when the car failed and around an hour on the side of the road in the sun.

Pros: Nothing! The people who work for you are AWFUL! Rude and horrible people who should NOT be dealing with the public.

Cons: NOTHING! I would NEVER rent from these horrible people EVER again!!

Pros: See above - poor

Cons: See above poor. I've had no breakdown of why I've paid more than originally quoted. I hope its not for petrol!!

Pros: Nothing!!!! I disliked everything!

Cons: They are just a bunch of thieves! I paid good money for a vehicle and basically I was given a pile shit! I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. They conned me into paying €409 more for extra insurance in case I damaged the vehicle , but the vehicle should have gone to the scrap yard it was damaged so bad!!! I wonder how many times they pull this trick to pay for repair for a damaged pile of crap! And no one even bothers to go over the controls with you!

Pros: The agent was professional and friendly.

Cons: The car was not clean.

Pros: Happy with everything.

Cons: Nothing.
