Sicily By Car at Palermo Airport

Pros: barrery boosting

Cons: tried to give us a smaller car than booked, asked to sign a vehicle damage sheet before we inspected the car, the car had far more dents bumps and scratches than on the sheet, I took photos of every one of these whilst still at the airport, a copy of the vehicle damage sheet was given at time of pick up but sent on via email, which is pointless if you dont have access to your email or a printer

Pros: They really tried to help us get a car that could hold all our luggage.

Cons: I paid for a station wagon and DID NOT get one.

Pros: Customer relations

Pros: Friendly, efficient and helpful

Pros: Our agent at the Palermo airport was nice and was helpful.

Cons: As mentioned, the car had mechanical difficulties and even after we had spent 30 minutes or more in a driving rain-storm calling for a tow truck ---no truck came EVER. Luckily we were able to get the shifter operating again with help from a resident.

Pros: Return the car was effective and efficient.

Cons: Aggressive selling of additional insurance

Pros: The agent was great she explained everything.

Cons: The car was not serviced properly. Next day tires needed air. My diesel car needed the blue additive to be added. The whole trip I had only driven under 3000 km. This should have been topped up before I picked the car. I understand the car may have stopped working if the additive was not added. Who is compensating me for that?

Pros: Courtesy at the rental desk

Cons: I did not like at all that SBC is working in charge me for two missing plastics front door window sealing. For this reason as per to date they have not yet returned to me the 800Euro deposit on my Credit Card. Keep in mind that the car was returned with no damages caused by me on Tuesday 6th September 2022. I really appreciate if you can contact them urging the return of my deposit.

Pros: The best thing was the price 325 euros almost 6 days. However, in order to help future visitors, it is better to book a car insurance at the desk when you pick up the car because the car insurance of Discover car is not valid and it a different insurance. Anyway, the car was perfect and very clean.

Pros: Very god

Cons: Very good

Pros: Fast, smooth and straight forward. No hidden tricks! They were also amazing as my daughter forgot her bag and they called me. Thank you!

Cons: Car was a bit dirty

Pros: The location

Cons: The basic standard service

Pros: Easy pick-up and drop-off

Cons: Prices

Pros: Straight forward

Cons: The prices are very expensive at the moment. But apparently, it is in all competitors and everywhere too

Pros: Quick service. Easy last minute modification of the rental because of a missed flight.

Pros: Terrible customer service from Sicily by Car and they are trying to scam us out of over $200. They are claiming we scratched the front bumper and could not provide any photo taken of the car not scratched before we rented it. They were clearly trying to scam us and the agents were actually yelling at us and were extremely rude and antagonizing. I would never rent here again

Cons: Terrible customer service from Sicily by Car and they are trying to scam us out of over $200. They are claiming we scratched the front bumper and could not provide any photo taken of the car not scratched before we rented it. They were clearly trying to scam us and the agents were actually yelling at us and were extremely rude and antagonizing. I would never rent here again

Pros: Very new car, very fast check-in.

Cons: A little bit too much expensive. Car was not clean enough.

Pros: Clear car, great services from picking up the car and overall a good impression for this company.

Cons: The car I received was not what I was expecting. When I made the reservation it said that I would get a Peugeot 208 or similar but I got a Lancia Ypsilon. The Lancia is a smaller and much more underpowered car than the Peugeot. Also the Lancia doesn't appear on the website in the car fleet list. And the price was very high.

Pros: Informative queueing system, great staff, very good quality, efficient (Hybrid) car

Pros: We love the courtesy of the agents and staff.

Pros: Efficient and he spoke English

Cons: N/a

Pros: Digital efficiency

Pros: The representatives we're helpful and easy to communicate with.

Cons: They switched the type of car we had requested to one with smaller trunk space. This was an issue and only by luck did they have one with enough trunk space. They were about to charge more but since we started to get upset they let us take it. It was inconvenient and stressful. I am glad it was worked out though.

Pros: The agent at Palermo was of great assistance!

Pros: Disponibilità e professionalità dello staff

Pros: The company were fast and efficient.

Cons: Claims had to be paid for on credit card which meant a large bank fee which wasn’t refunded by discover

Pros: Easy process and access to car at terminal

Cons: Nothing

Pros: They were flexible, correct and fast. The price was extremely cheap and the guy did not want to make us responsible for any damages (as it not obvious at every rental company).

Cons: The car has some type of technical issues for instance the clutch was already off and one tyre was constantly dropping the pressure, but I could deal with them and I can agree that I didn't get a perfect car for the price I paid.

Pros: Awesome car. Easy to pick up and drop off. Much nicer than the other company I went with another time. The car synced to my phone, had GPS navigation, etc. It was very nice..

Cons: All great

Cons: je n'ai pas pu récupérer la voiture

Cons: onvriendelijk en arrogant personeel. Konden geen oplossing geven over een extra verzekeringskost waarna ze begonnen te schelden en roepen en alle toeristen waren varkens en onbeschoft

Pros: It was super easy to pick up & drop off the car.

Cons: Poor english of the car pick up crew. Pick up report stated i.e. car jack was present (was not).

Pros: Having picked up cars from Palermo several times in the past I found Sicily by Car the easiest to deal with and no pressure to take out any extra insurances or upgrades to a more expensive car.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: It was easy in Palermo and Milano

Cons: The car in Palermo was very dirty and bumbed. The guy outside was to smart and un polite.

Pros: Picking up and dropping of the car has gone smoothly and all steps were explained.

Cons: The car had no car mats and the the interior of the car presented some stains.

Cons: My car had mechanical problems. I called to request a change of vehicle and was told the car would not make it back to the location to change it out nor was the company willing to bring me a replacement car. I had the car towed back to the company by their roadside assistance. The company still charged me a full 8 day rental when the car was only in my possession for less than 24hrs. Terrible customer service.

Cons: Did not like your service at all, because you clearly do not know how customer service work, by not answering simple questions that your clients have before renting a car.

Pros: Never again. I received an electric car and the charging didn‘t work. They also didn‘t explained how it works. I need to ask an other company at 5am.

Pros: I pre-registered my details so to pick up was very easy and straightforward

Cons: Dropping off was none there to sign off the return because was just before 8am

Pros: They lent us a new VW Golf. It was fantastic. Dropping off the car was easy, but a map for a car return would be good.

Cons: For incomprehensible reasons, they want a credit card, not a debit card. Depositing on a debit card costs 25 euros per day!!! It takes 10 working days to return the deposit to the bank account.

Pros: Staff speaks good English. Car was waiting, quick procedure.

Cons: It's a bit hard to find the way to the return lot.

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: We got allocated an electric car but did not realise this, so had to pay more for a diesel car.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: No help, lost all the deposit

Pros: Nothing. Awful. They should not be used by a broker. Do not recommend.

Cons: Customer service terrible, combative and unhelpful. Extra fees everywhere.

Pros: The lady who checked us in

Cons: The lady on exit was extremely rude!

Pros: Have been using it for more than 10 years and I am always very satisfied with the people at the desk and the car in general.

Cons: It's not exactly SbC but one thing I dont understand is how accident cover works. Is it something I can do online and it is accepted at the desk or they give me an option at the desk?

Pros: Nothing - do not hire with this company! or if you do expect a minimum 3 hour wait on your car at the airport

Cons: they oversubscribe meaning all potential renters have a horrendous wait on their car. we eventually had to rent with another company as the wait was so long

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Waiting times ... Palermo office closed in the afternoon

Cons: Sicily by Car is ripping me off. They over charged me for the rental and now are trying to charge me a damage fee. We returned the car in perfect condition but it was before they opened so they couldn't check in the car. They are terrible and are trying to screw me over.

Pros: It is always swift and very amenable except for the typical oversell of their Insurance.

Cons: The car was very low son ADBLUE additive. Luckily this was not an issue as we did very few miles. Had we been more mobile this could have been a problem.

Pros: No specific matters

Cons: We spent approximately 2 hours, not much less than the flight from the UK, queuing to complete the paperwork. Totally unacceptable wait times without any prior indication that this was likely to be the case. I would have used another car rental company instead had I known this before booking. additionally, the 'full to full' policy was mentioned several times yet my car was not totally full when I collected it. Estimate this cost me €10 extra when I returned it full. Bad practice in my view.

Pros: The car was clean and the drop off was easy.

Cons: We waited in a queue for 2.5 hours to collect our car at the airport. Every transaction was taking the staff 20 minutes to complete. Lots of very grumpy customers. I would never book with Sicily by Car again.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: That they forced me to purchase additional insurance even though I had already booked through discover car hire and purchased it then. When the agreement was printed, I said that I refused to sign it since I did not want the additional insurance that Sicily By Car forced me to get. At that time, the representative started yelling in front of everyone saying that I verbally agreed and that I was forced to sign the documents. I will never do business with them again. Terrible experience.

Pros: Great service and everything was all straight forward

Cons: N/A

Pros: Returning the car was a horrible experience and was over charged !

Cons: Rude person and charged my card too much. The price was more than agreed upon.

Pros: New car, great price

Cons: Return agents unhelpful a few minutes before 8am
