27 Car Rental Brands at Bologna Airport (BLQ)

Unfairly charged 700 euros, claiming there was a small dent on the rear bumper. If it was a newly caused damage, there should be mud or paint marks. During the driving process, there was absolutely no instance of reversing into anything.

Rented cars multiple times in Europe, and this was the most disappointing experience. Avoid renting from this company at all costs! We rented two cars without glass insurance, and during the return process, there was a tiny scratch on the windshield, smaller than a grain of rice. You could hardly notice it, but the inspector spotted it immediately, which felt very suspicious as if they were intentionally looking for it. They ended up charging us 180 Euros. Absolutely do not rent from them—such a scam!

No me dieron un coche del segmento contratado (habia pedido un SUV y me dieron un compacto familiar); tampoco reclame otro vehiculo. La atencion en el mostrador fue muy buena. Pese a aportar el seguro del coche que choco con el nuestro cuando estaba aparcado tuve que abonar el coste estimado de la reparacion.

Over 40 minutes to collect car. Insurance that was pre-purchased we were told was invalid so had to pay again. Card machine would not accept 2 x business credit cards for this payment so had to use personal debit card. We have attempted to get a refund for the initial pre-purchased insurance but have been told on numerous occasions that the booking cannot be found. Terrible customer service!

The pickup point n Bologna airport was difficult to locate. The staff at the pickup desk disputed that my booking included the one-way fee even though the contract clearly stated it did. They tried to charge me an additional one-way fee. This held up the booking by 30 mins.

This was my first time renting a car abroad, so to be cautious, I chose to pay at the counter. Fortunately, the staff had a good attitude! Picking up the car was smooth overall. However, the waiting time was quite long—regardless of having a reservation, you still need to pick a number onsite and wait in line, which took about an hour before it was my turn. This is why I deducted one point. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the car matched the model I reserved, and it was barely a year old with just 10,000 kilometers on it—lucky me! The driving experience was excellent overall, with ample power and convenient navigation using wireless CarPlay. At the end, I refueled near the airport and returned the car; all I had to do was hand the keys to the staff in the parking garage and sign the confirmation, then I was good to go. Overall, it was a great experience.

The car wasn’t clean fron the outside and Inhad to wait for about an hour to pickup the car as there was only 1 representative serving Avis, Budget and 1 additional rental company + they kept advising on getting additional insurance on top of the one purchased from EasyRentCars claiming that there would be lots of hassle and admin fees in case anything happened.

El coche tenía muchos golpes de chapa y arañazos pero estaban todos apuntados en la hoja de entrega del vehículo. Tenía el aviso de "cambio de aceite motor necesario" en la pantalla y el personal de Goldcar me dijo que no pasaba nada; esto no me gustó, no me da seguridad sobre el mantenimiento que ha llevado el vehículo. Con 88.882 km el coche estaba bastante machacado, la dirección se notaba con alguna holgura... Además la reserva era para un Q2 o categoría similar y me ofrecieron un Ford Puma (el que cogí) o un Fiat.... Son del mismo tamaño pero no es la categoría de Audi.

L’hôtesse d’accueil était très agressive car nous avons refusé de faire une assurance chez elle car nous avions pris l’assurance complète déjà avt de partir chez AXA... Nous avions vraiment l’impression qu’elle était payée au nombre d’assurances qu’elle faisait.... Nous avons tenus bon et elle hésitait même à nous louer la voiture !!! Un comble vu que de notre côté, tout était payé et que nous étions en règle d’assurance.....

The member of staff I dealt with was rude and pushy. She tried to sell me an additional insurance when I had already purchased a similar one through the Easyrentcars website. She implied that the insurance I had purchased was unlikely to pay out, in case of an accident. Only at the end she explained that what she was offering was optional. Moreover nobody came out to check the car with me and I was left to find the car by myself. They were instead very thorough in checking the car on my return. I won't use this car rental company again

The staff in Bologna had a very bad attitude. I just took the keys and went to the parking lot and found that the tire pressure indicator was abnormal. I told the staff that we needed to change the car or fix the tire. The attitude was very bad and they would not change or repair the tire. They left directly. In the end, we spent 19 euros to repair the tire, and there was indeed a leak.

Picking up the car from the parking lot on the first floor was easy, but returning it was difficult! When returning the car, the GPS only guided us to the second-floor parking lot, and we couldn't navigate to the first-floor return point (which was also the pickup point). We ended up walking to the office on the first floor (accessible by stairs on foot, but not by car), even running to the airport counter seeking help, but were refused everywhere due to busyness. In particular, the people at the first-floor office, who were just a few steps away from our temporarily parked car on the second floor, refused to come over and guide us. Our flight was about to depart, so we had no choice but to leave it on the second floor. In the end, we were charged a 48 Euro parking fee...

Booking, car, drop off all very good. Staff at Maggiore counter trying hard but understaffed, failing systems and lost paper work resulted in a wait of nearly an hour before we got the keys. Then they were clearly under instruction to sell insurance extras, which annoyed customers and caused even longer delays.
