Great service, great choice of cars, great prices…read more Brought a friend who was looking for a car rental in the area here. The guy and his family are totally happy with their choice, driving their brand new Opel (rented till beginning of September). The Enterprise office and the parking lot are next to the Alicante train station. Very convenient if you arrive in the city by train. They are not in the Alicante airport yet but I understand an office will open there soon. The cars don't have any rent-a-car stickers on them. Can be useful as thieves often target rented cars in tourist areas. Order online in advance. Recommended.

I realize that there are many people here that may have had a bad experience with Drivalia, but my…read moreexperience is different. My wife and I traveled to Italy on July 16 and the morning we were to leave, we had to suddenly change a few plans, which required us to rent a car in Florence. We were prepared for the worst, after reading other's reviews, and it was a bit chaotic in the Drivalia office at the airport but we were pleasantly surprised by the brand new Nissan Qashqai they had for us with only 58km on it. Honestly, the staff in the office was a bit abrupt, maybe because there were so many people pissed off because they didn't have a car for them, but we were pleased. Reading about the driving in Italy, we were prepared for a real hellscape of a ride, but it wasn't too bad, really. Sure, the road rules are a bit different than what I'm used to but after 20 minutes on the road, all was fine. We had to drive to a small town called Umbria a few hours east and the roads were challenging in some places, but the views were breath taking. Reminder: the Italians don't drive like most people here in the U.S., but when they come up close behind you, just slow down, turn on your blinker, and move over, they will pass and all is ok. Take it easy around the many, many curves, because someone is coming faster and probably a bit in your lane, from the other direction. After a week in Urbania, we drove to Rimini on the east coast to turn in the car and catch a train to our next destination. We were a bit stressed because the office didn't open until 9am and we had to get across town by 945 for the train and had no idea how we were going to make it. We got to the office about 10 minutes till 9 and the very nice man opened early to take our car and actually drove us several blocks to the train station so we could get to the central station on time. A couple of women waiting for the train, who spoke no English (and we spoke only enough Italian to order coffee) made sure we got on the right train. I cannot stress enough how helpful the gentleman in the Drivalia office was and how kind and helpful everyone we met in Italy was. I only wish I could remember the man's name. I don't know what experience everyone who has given this company one star has had, but our experience was vastly different. And the car they had for us was really nice.

I'm reading some terrible reviews about Drivalia. Unfortunately, I'd already hired the car and only…read moresaw these comments afterwards. When I went to collect my hire car in Mallorca, I witnessed more than one row and argument with various customers who were waiting to collect their cars. There were long queues and the staff were extremely aggressive. My paid booking was given to another customer, so I had to wait nearly three hours for a replacement car. Please DO NOT hire a car from this dreadful company. They're scammers! If you're interested in reading the rest of the complaint I submitted, please do carry on reading. 1. Problems with vehicle collection and delays: We turned up to collect the car we'd booked, but the staff told us it wasn't available because it had been handed over to another customer. There was a vehicle awaiting its MOT, and after they decided to release it for our hire, we had to wait over two hours before we could leave. Furthermore, as we did not take out the company's optional insurance, we were required to pay a deposit of €1,700. 2. Irregularities on return and unjustified charges for damage: Upon returning the car to the Drivalia office, we spent over an hour waiting to be attended to and to catch the courtesy shuttle bus to the airport. The employee who carried out the vehicle inspection dragged the process out excessively and, in the end, charged us €363.60 for alleged damage to the alloy wheels on the left-hand side. 2. Irregularities in the return process and unjustified charges for damage: When we returned the car to the Drivalia office, we spent over an hour waiting to be attended to and to catch the courtesy shuttle bus to the airport. The member of staff who carried out the vehicle inspection took an excessive amount of time with the process and, ultimately, charged us €363.60 for alleged damage to the alloy wheels on the left-hand side. We immediately presented evidence in the form of photographs taken at the time of collection, but the staff member argued that they were neither clear nor sufficient. Our argument is that the vehicle already had over 50,000 kilometres on the clock when we collected it. Furthermore, the initial inspection was carried out at night (in the dark) and it defies all logic that the car would have multiple visible scratches on the right-hand side whilst they are attempting to blame us for any marks on the left-hand side. 3. Coercion and manipulation by staff: The third complaint, and perhaps the most serious, is that the employee was fully aware that we would miss our flight if we continued to argue. I made it clear to him that the situation was extremely unpleasant and that we felt deceived and manipulated, as our use of the complimentary airport bus was made conditional upon our acceptance of the charges imposed. This was a thoroughly dishonest approach.

They greeted us on time at the airport. There was no queue, just us! Cliff was extremely friendly too! The car we hired was clean and modern. The price was excellent, only 360 euros for 2 weeks. Highly recommend this friendly family firm!

Returning the car was equally painless, just park back at departures and was met at the arranged time.
