Peugeot 208

Pros: The shuttle bus driver was polite and kind

Cons: The satnav wouldn’t work with phone

France
Peugeot 308 STW
10/5/24

Pros: Quick and friendly

Cons: No complaints

Denmark
Peugeot 308 STW
9/29/24

Cons: There were far too many hidden fees that we only discovered at the counter when picking up the car. The car we had reserved in advance was not the same size as the one we received. We had three golf bags and two suitcases, but were given a small car that barely fit us. Additionally, we paid €40 for the option to return the car before 8:00 AM, but we were far from the only ones dropping off cars at that time, which made it feel like nothing more than a money-making scheme.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 208
9/19/24

Pros: When I picked the car up, everything was fine.

Cons: When I returned the car I was scammed out of almost 300 euro for damage I didn’t cause.

Canada
Fiat Panda
9/19/24

Pros: Good car. Good price.

Cons: Spent an hour waiting to return because there was one agent dealing with an angry customer. Too many people were protesting about damage charges. Made me wonder what was going on. Happy my insurance was through Discover Cars.

United Kingdom
Hyundai i10
9/18/24

Pros: Friendly

Cons: A bit slow

United Kingdom
Seat Arona
9/4/24

Cons: They are awful people who’s number 1 priority is to scam customers out of more and more money.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 308 STW
8/8/24

Pros: Value for money, older car is ok as it was in good condition and still had android mobile. Car drop off was quickish even with 6 people before me.

Cons: 20 minute wait for a shuttle on arrival, 40 minutes to wait for pickup and contract, 8am opening was cutting it fine for my flight, open earlier without charging.

Austria
Peugeot 308 STW
7/30/24

Pros: everything fine; for reimbursement of the damange i was asked a final invoice, hopefully the receipt for payment of 370 we got is sufficient

United Arab Emirates
Peugeot 308 STW
7/21/24

Cons: Car had 11 listed damage points when picked up and staff managed to find a twelfth in seconds at drop off. Clearly a way of making money by charging unsuspecting clients for damage and then not fixing the damage. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Portugal
Volkswagen Up
7/19/24

Cons: Scammers. Charged me 300€ for miniscule 3mm scratch which was one of 20 imperfections on low quality car. They obviously never repair the car,but keep milking unsuspecting customers. They have a hyper detailed pre rental inspection , listing the dozens of flaws with car..I now realise in retrospect this is to bamboozle customers with litany of problems so who can tell whether my so called damage was not on it previously. Scoundrels.

Netherlands
Renault Megane
6/28/24

Cons: We had a check in time 09:50, and were told by Surprice to return car 2 hours before, but when we arrived at 07:30, although there was a girl who could recieve the car, she told me that before 08:00 there would be €40 charge. We waited till 08:00, a major minus point for customer relations.

Ireland
Peugeot 308 STW
6/25/24

Cons: I didn’t like what I fet like was a clear attempt to extort money from me when I returned the car by your agent showing me the tiniest mark on the paint work which he said wasn’t there previously. I would have had to pay €280 except I thankfully had a photo of the damage when I picked up the car. So much so I reminded the agent what I said to him when I was picking up the car. I said “god bless your eyesight becuse I can barely see that”. Just take photos of all existing damage

United Kingdom

United Kingdom
Seat Ibiza
6/17/24

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: I had already provided my flight arrival time and no one was there to pick me and others up in the designated area. The car itself was dirty on the outside. The petrol was 1/4 full which meant that I had to stop as soon as I got on the freeway to fill the car up. At one point, the car started to spit out water whilst using the air conditioning. I messaged on the WhatsApp help line and no one got back to me. I will not be booking with Surprice again. Their office is also further away than expect

Ireland

5/9/23

Pros: Directions to shuttle were clear and precise. Wait time was short. Shuttle bus driver was very nice and helpful. Desk staff were very efficient and clear on all charges. Car was in immaculate condition and I fully understood the rental terms. Price was also very reasonable. I picked surprice because their working hours were later than the other companies but I would definitely go with them again.

United Kingdom
Toyota Yaris
4/5/22

Pros: Good car

Cons: Very heavy deposit £1800! unless you want to use their insurance which I’m sure I paid extra for when I booked it but was forced to pay more money. When I said I was unaware of it , I was flashed a piece of paper with small writing on . Of coarse we all want to spend our lives reading fine print and what choice is there once I’m stood there in another country at the beginning of a holiday? Got me by the bollocks

United Kingdom
Renault Captur
11/14/21

Pros: Two Reasons 1. The pick up at the airport car park was on time and driver was very pleasant 2. The attendant at the Car hire firm reception desk was very friendly and helpful

Peugeot 308 STW
10/20/21

Cons: Their contactability

United Kingdom
Fiat Panda
10/19/21

Cons: There were so many dents and scratches on the car and on returning the car it took nearly 1 hour because nobody could put the deposit of €1559 back on my credit card so I had to leave my Bank Account details for them to do a bank transfer the next day. I couldn't wait any longer because we would have missed the plane!

United Kingdom
Renault Clio
10/11/21

Pros: Very efficient and ease of making the booking. Excellent feedback and communication. No pressure with not requiring expensive insurance. My own was accepted. Definitely the best experience and service I have received from a car rental company.

Cons: Nothing really. Prices a bit high at the moment, probably because of COVID.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 308 STW
9/18/21

Pros: The people were friendly enough- but the overall service and what they can offer you is rubbish.

Cons: Couldn’t reach anyone via the phone when we needed to enquire about dropping the car back early- so had to drive back to the airport (30 mins) just to ask. When I told them the car wasn’t it great condition on drop off they didn’t seem too care.

Netherlands
Citroen C3
9/2/21

Cons: I received a crappy car, paid a fortune extra as insurance because otherwise I had to block EUR 1845 on my creditcard that had a credit limit left of EUR 1500, It said outside the airport or shuttle service but for the shuttle service before 8.00 AM it was EUR 35 extra for a 10 minutes drive

Ireland
VW Touran 5+2
8/30/21

Pros: The car was new

Cons: Firstly the shuttle bus was really difficult to find. No rep and no help from anyone. The pick up was too from the airport. it took 1 hour 20 mins to get checked in with only 1 customer ahead of me. Staff had no booking information and very disorganized. Will defiantly NEVER use Surprice again

United Kingdom
Mercedes Benz C Class
7/30/21

Renault Megane
7/3/21

Cons: The car was awful a very old car with very poor lights,high mileage,spongy suspensionand poor bodywork. Rear parcel shelf was held in position with self tapping screws. Not at all what I expected and had to put up with this awful car for 3 weeks!!

Netherlands
Toyota Yaris
6/22/21

Pros: I liked the matter of fact approach and didn't feel like they were looking to get me for something small. Much better than the rating implied, was pleasantly surprised.

Cons: During pickup I spent a lot of time waiting for documents that could've been made available days before. Seemed unnecessary.

United Kingdom
Volkswagen Up 3d
6/18/21

Pros: Very friendly and genuinely helpful. Thank you to the team who treated us with a good service.

Cons: Was a bit slow for whatever reasons. It feels like the system needs to be updated and streamlined as there was a bit of waiting around.

United Kingdom
VW Touran 5+2
6/18/21

Pros: The shuttle driver helped with loading my suitcase, which I appreciated, as I’m currently pregnant. The rest of the staff was also very helpful.

Germany
Volkswagen Up 3d
5/14/21

Pros: All the service aside from finding the car rental station was perfect and very nice! Thank you so much!

Cons: It would be great if there was a clear marking in the Airport that it is necessary to go outside of the building, where to go and find Sur Price car and that there is a shuttle service to the car rental station. I had to ask for this a lot until I found it.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 208
2/6/21

Pros: Jesse was great

Cons: Nothing

United Kingdom
Fiat Panda
10/19/20

Pros: good service, car in excellent condition, easy to communicate with staff who had excellent English. Pick up from airport was very easy, and so was the return to the airport, despite being earlier than planned! Less than 10 minutes from the airport

Cons: I had ordered a car with four doors and I ended up with a car with two doors. This was fine since there was only two of us. I also asked for full tank and it was a 1/4 full and therefore probably lost about 10 Euros. Awaiting email regarding the total cost of Via Verde tolls during our 12 day trip.

Cons: Picking up the car took quite a while.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 308 STW
9/6/20

Pros: No waiting for shuttle service. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Fuel policy wasn't full to full. Tank was provided 3/8 full, so needed refueling fairly quickly and difficult to return with the same, so we ended up over fuelling trying to guess how much we would need to get return the car from our destination. This is probably by design but not ideal for the customer.

United Kingdom
VW Touran 5+2
9/1/20

Pros: Disgusting service, I would never ever use this company again

Cons: No customer service skills at all

Portugal
Renault Captur
7/28/20

France
Fiat 500
7/23/20

Pros: The workers were friendly overall.

Cons: They have absolutely ZERO support other than email which takes them 2 days to answer. So, if you have an emergency or if the car breaks down or you have an accodent, you have no way of contacting them.

VW Touran 5+2
3/22/20

Pros: Cheerful helpful staff

Cons: Hidden additional tax for crossing border into Spain.. This should be more up front

United Kingdom
Renault Captur
2/25/20

Pros: Very helpful. Easy to find and shuttle took just a few mins to arrive. I had messed up and thought I could cover the insurance on my Amex. They worked it out for me so I had to take the full insurance but was still not that expensive, and they were really polite and helpful explaining it all, and even gave me a free upgrade as I was now paying so much more, but it did clearly say no amex on my rental, so was totally my fault, I just hadn't noticed!

Cons: Being there at 7.45am and sitting outside the gates until they "open at 8" did seem a bit churlish. Given the UK flights are all around 10 and 11 am, I'd suggest 7.30 would just get rid of some of those very stressed Brits first thing!

United Kingdom
Seat Ibiza
11/19/19

Pros: Fairly efficient and straight forward.

Cons: We live part of the year in the Algarve and are therefore regular travellers to Faro. We regularly use Discover Cars to book car hire and are generally very satisfied, however, the price the SurPrice charge for a second driver would have been greater that the entire cost of the car hire contract and therefore we wont be using them again.

United Kingdom
Toyota Yaris
11/6/19

Cons: The policy of half full to half full is designed to,rip off the hirer. Please do full to full as was originally agreed when I hired the vehicle on line. Please don't change the rules at the desk.

United Kingdom
Peugeot 108
9/19/19

Cons: We were charged €200 for a very small dent in the door. He tried to charge more but when we refused to pay it he dropped it to €200. We did not have time to argue as our flight was due. He told us to claim it back off our insurance. This had never happened before and we rent cars on every holiday.

United Kingdom
VW Polo
8/9/19

Cons: The staff were unhelpful, the car I was offered during booking was unavailable and the 'similar' car was not even close. I was required to pay the total excess on the car via credit card, attempted to pay via debit and was refused repeatedly. was then forced to pay for their insurance, which apparently had to be taken by credit card but they were eventually somehow able to process it on my debit.

United Kingdom
Toyota Yaris
8/4/19

Pros: Car was fine, when we eventually got it.

Cons: Long wait at airport for shuttle bus, over an hour. We got on the 4th time it arrived. Long wait at the rental desk when we collected the car, and the same when we returned it. Long queue for shuttle so we called a taxi for fear of missing our flight. They need more shuttle buses and more staff. Everyone was complaining. I would never use Surprice again.

United Kingdom

United Kingdom
Fiat 500
7/15/19

Cons: I was not happy with Surprice charging me an additional 35E out of hours when dropping the car off as I did not request it. I got there early waiting for the office to open when a member of staff opened up and asked us to come in. If I had known that, I would rather have stayed outside the gate. So beware of returning your car early .

Pros: Picking the car up was a little time consuming but return was excellent. Transit very good too. A good service and goood price.

VW Golf
4/21/19

Pros: Dropping off the car was much better, 100%, than picking up the car!

Cons: Pick up at the airport - there was several people waiting to be picked up by the car agency and we had to wait. Unfortunately, there was an impatient client, and he was not polite to the driver, trying to tell him how to do his job. Uncomfortable situation We had paid $15.00 a day for a GPS, and we did not receive proper instructions how to use it. They were unable to help us. We never used the GPS. It was a challenge for us to navigate in Portugal!

United Kingdom
VW Golf
3/28/19

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, pleasant to deal with. Very cheap deal.

Cons: Time taken to actually get the car in the first place - took about 25/30 minutes messing around with paperwork when it could easily have been done in 5. The ridiculous car given to me (a bright yellow Nissan Juke)

Pros: good people at the office

Cons: its not in the airport area. We were brought to the airport but not to the departures door. Instead, we were dropped off quite a distance away (for two old people with heavy bags) from the terminal. The company should have been able to bring us to the door.

Peugeot 108
1/7/19

Pros: nothing

Cons: very difficult location to find with map with wrong instructions given for return. nearly missed flight and had to leave it in the airport for extra 25 euros after having paid 100 euros for tom tom because I would have never found my way back from there. All this after renting cars for 20 years from Faro. Plus, car was very dirty and staff rude.

Cons: nothing to not like

Sweden
Seat Ibiza
1/3/19

Pros: They were quick and helpful getting us on the road and the car was in good condition.

Cons: They locked €2000 for the duration of our trip and did not give us that money back until a week after returning the car. They said it was just a pre-authorisation and nothing to worry about. They never said that we wouldn't be able to use that money the whole trip! They need to tell people that they are freezing that huge amount!!! We usually use that much for our trip. I imagine they must f*ck a lot of people over.

Ireland
Peugeot 108
11/29/18

Cons: I had to hang around for 20-30 minutes to get back to the airport. There were not enough staff present or they were doing other things

United Kingdom
Ford Fiesta
11/20/18

Pros: Quick transfer.

Cons: Charged €30 to clean the car!! Yes it was sandy inside, but I've NEVER been charged for the 20+ cars I've rented. We felt trapped, away from the airport with only their transfer bus as an option and zero negotiation on the cleaning charge. VERY small print using obscure language, BEWARE! It WAS good value until the charge was slapped on.

United Kingdom
Ford Focus
11/4/18

Pros: Peugeot 2008- decent car, very clean.

Cons: Only the price of booster seat hire. Almost as much as the car!

United States of America (USA)
Toyota Yaris
9/26/18

Pros: The car was in good condition.

Cons: I told them I had purchased insurance online, and they said they didn't know anything about that. They said Discover was a broker and I paid a broker fee, so I chose to purchase insurance again to avoid issues driving in a foreign country. My flight arrived late, so the attendant didn't seem super pleased to be dealing with a check-in. Incredibly difficult to find info late at night for the shuttle to get to the pick-up location. My car seat was soaked because the window was left open.

Belgium
VW Polo
9/5/18

Cons: ARNAQUE !!! véhicule choisi sur votre site pas n'est pas disponible chez eux --> choix d'un autre véhicule mais à un autre prix ( + cher). Différents autres suppléments pas prévus dans le contrat de base - ils savent que nous sommes coincés sur place donc ils tentent d'en profiter. Finalement, nous avons rompu le contrat et avons prix un taxi. Nous avons trouvé un loueur de véhicule à Lagos qui travaille sans carte VISA et donc le prix affiché est le prix réel.

United Kingdom
Nissan Qashqai
9/4/18

Cons: The fact that on returning the car the woman virtually blackmailed me in to agreeing that supposed minor scratches were caused By us despite the fact that on picking up the car she said ‘don’t worry about any minor scratches it’s only deep scratches and dents we charge for.’ There were no scratches , just lines in the dust the car had on it. And when I cleaned an area to show her that they were not scratches she went right over the car determined to find some damage! She then went on to

United Kingdom
Fiat 500
9/4/18

Pros: Return was fine as not a busy time of day

Cons: A bun fight to get on the bus. No system, far too many people. After 2 pickups and still not being able to get on the bus, we ended up paying a taxi 20€ to get us to the depot. Also no paperwork at the checkin counter caused anothe delay. Stressful start to the holiday. Also tank 50% full. We booked full to full

United Kingdom
VW Polo
7/28/18

Cons: Late for drop-off even though I paid an additional £25.00 to drop-off early. This was very poor service, considering the proximity to our return flight departure timing. The rep I dealt with in the office was good, but the overall manager was overly short, rude and abrupt with two other clients whilst I was there, and this set a very bad impression.

United Kingdom

VW Golf

7/18/18

Pros: Great customer service, they always answered at the desk when we called with a problem or a question!

Cons: The ride to and from the airport by the shuttle. We had to wait for a long time before the shuttle came. Children were seated in the shuttle without seatbelts, because the driver wanted to fit as many as possible. The driver drove too fast and it did not feel safe.
