Too many surprises!
Pros: Nice car. Return process was efficient
Cons: Waited in line a long time! Had to pay extras Kayak did not quote me! Cost me an extra $100! Walked into the rental car area and my car wasn't there. I had to track someone down and was finally given a different car!

pushy insurance additions
Cons: The woman at the desk in the Rome airport insisted I added on insurance. I said no several times. She then proceeded to add on just a "little insurance" that wound us costing me an extra $150 euros. I did not even realize until drove out of the lot!

Good experience, although there was a little confu
Pros: Drop off was extremely efficient and I got a good price on the car
Cons: They tried to upsell me, then they sent me to the wrong car and I had to switch cars. They also charged me about 50 euros to refill the half tank of gas, which seems a little high to me. But overall a good experience.

Do Not Use Budget Rental in Rome!
Pros: The vehicle was clean, comfortable and large enough for our bags +5 people.
Cons: The individual I meet when picking up my car from the Budget Rental Car in Rome was dishonest, deceitful, and offensive.When I arrived it was as if I hadn't booked my vehicle already online and was told my car I already booked wasn't available, the price would be $800+ more and that I was required to upgrade my insurance. After 2.5 hours of being lied to, waiting, and 6x different quotes I was finally presented with the closest car to my booking and price I had already confirmed online.

Unorganized and unsafe
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Took almost 2 hours to get the car only to find it had a flat tire. Took another half hour to swap for another car, but also had a leaky tire that we didn't find out about until we left. Had to keep putting air in it. Took over an hour to drop off the car at the end of the trip because the paperwork was a mess. Will complain to budget.

An hour-long attempt to upsell us to a vehicle we didn't want or need
Pros: All the customer service representatives were very friendly!
Cons: We spent nearly an hour with the agent trying to sell us insurance we kept saying we didn't want. Then I asked about switching to an automatic. When it was apparent that the automatic transmission car was going to cost about 400 euro more, we said no forget it, that we'd go with what we had reserved. But he kept making tweaks and changes to the deal to try to get us to go with the bigger car (seriously, after a translatlantic flight and NO sleep, who wants to spend an hour with someone trying to upsell you?). Finally I said, I just want the car I reserved. And he said, ok, we'll give you the bigger car for the same price. What??? I suspect the car I reserved wasn't even available so the whole thing had been a charade to get us to get the bigger vehicle. And only it wasn't exactly the same price I had reserved it at. We had a heck of a time with a 9-passenger vehicle trying to get through some of the narrow streets and ended up scratching a bumper. All in all, I would avoid Budget/Avis at all costs!

Over priced not what I was quoted
Pros: I really only liked that there was a car avliable
Cons: First, I reserved a Bmw 5 series but received a huge Volvo. Not the end of the world but the car was quite larger then was convient due to driving the malfunction coast.
Second, union return I was charged 370 euro which is about $410. I was quoted $259 after taxes I believe. I did request insurance at 15 a day for four days. The insurance factored in should've brought my total closer to $320. Can you explain to me why I was charged so much more then my quote?
Thank you

Vehicle not available
Cons: The vehicle which I reserved in May, nor anything similar, was not available when I went to pick it up in Rome on June 27th. I lost 2 hours of my stay in Rome the day before and another 2 hours on the 27th waiting for the issue to be resolved. I rented a car from Budget for one day while in Florence without any issues. I will not take a chance on Hertz again.

Horrible Experience
Pros: They are off site and didn't provide shuttle info, the shuttle driver wouldn't let me ride because the booking agency and rental car company have different names (Ace and Gold Star), and they refused to rent a car to me in the end because I didn't bring my international license (which no company in Italy has ever asked for). I paid nearly 90 Euros for additional insurance that had the wrong days listed, and it was a third party company so they charged me even though the car reservation was denied and canceled. Overall it was a horrible experience. They deserve negative stars and you should stop including them on your website.

Scam
Pros: Absolutely nothing
Cons: First they are not ACE in Rome, they are Goldcar but no where is this indicated on kayak or rental papers. Second, they car I rented already had a warning light on but no manual to indicate what was the problem (or to even realize that was a warning light until pointed out by friend). Third I received an email after return stating they were charging nearly 500 Euros for unspecified damages. Nothing said (and nothing was said at all) at return indicated that this would be forthcoming or that there was a problem that I could have discussed in person at time of return. I have already started the process of contesting this including contacting a lawyer. I recommend that Kayak seriously contemplate discontinuing their association with this company or require them to be much more forthcoming about the information and stipulations that are imposed upon renters by this company.

This company is Goldcar
Pros: I refused to rent from them after previous experience.
Cons: Goldcar were the worst company I have ever rented from. If I had realized Ace was just a front for them I would never have rented. Turned up and was informed I would have to pay €110 extra because I didn't have a International Drivers License. After my last experience renting with Goldcar I knew this wouldn't be the last hidden fee they would try to put on me. Stood in the queue for an hour and there was only five people in front of me. Left the desk within two minutes and hired a car from the Europe Car desk. I suggest that you book with a different provider and pay less in the long run than Ace/Goldcar's multiple add ons afterwards.

NEVER AGAIN
Pros: I didn't t like the experience at all.
I have been scammed by this company, and like me at least another 10 Americans that used kayak for the reservation.
We where forced to buy extra insurance coverage for the car with the excuse of missing international driving license, and if you don't buyed it no car. On $ 120 dollars reservation, I had to pay almost another 200 euros for the car. On Easter holidays all the others companies where booked up and you bob t have other choice that accept the extras double cost of my rental car.
I was flying stand by and the day I returned the car I was uneble to leave Italy for the fly conditions, so I had to book a new car for 1 extra day and I did with Sicily di Car and i wasn't t charged extra money for insurance or deposit on the full thank return.
ALSO THERE ISN T A LAW IN ITALY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DRIVING LICENCSE , they give me the car without any problem or extra charge.
So I'm here now to ask you to solve this problem between you PRICE LINE AND ACE RENTAL CAR .
Is my intention to report you this FRAUDOLENT car rental company, and I will also dispute the charge on my credit card.
I am here for future explanations and waiting from you for news.

POOR PICK UP, DOES NOT LIVE UP TO THE SERVICE IT OFFERS
Cons: We reserved a car for 5 adults and 3 pieces of luggage. We ended up with a car that held 1 piece of luggage in the trunk,the rest had to go on the back seats,so that meant no one could sit in back. Also nightmare to find at airport,we where quoted one price of $426. for 20 days, we informed Ace that we would only need the car for 19 days,we ended up paying $493.99 somethings wrong with this picture.

Cons: My reservation was not held for me so I needed to pay for a much larger and more expensive vehicle that I didn't need. Also, when I figured out that I needed to extend my rental reservation for another day, I had to make nearly 30 phone calls over 3 days just to get someone to pick up their phone and talk to me. Once the call was finally answered I was not helped at all and ended up paying a large late fee. I am unlikely to use Goldcar or Kayak again.

6 Jul 2017
Pros: They lied about requiring an international driver's license in an attempt to get additional insurance from me. None of the other agencies required that. Additionally, Ace Car Rental doesn't exist, they are a broker and don't disclose that clearly in their communications. I had to ask several people before finally finding an agency who had my reservation. It was a nightmare and I ended up canceling and renting from a different agency.

Horrible and totally unprofessional.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: They did not give me the car they advertised. I booked a BMW 2 series COUPE or similar. When I reached they offered me a VW golf. The man on the counter argued with me about giving out 5 door cars. A coupe is NEVER a five door!! And are you kidding me with a golf? How are the two cars even comparable? Or similar? I asked him if he had anything similar to the car advertised. He said no and since they were still going to charge me I had to go with the car. Also it's been 4 days now and the hold on my card hasn't been lifted. I never expected for kayak to advertised such lying and cheating vendors. Or at least verify the truthfulness behind what it's vendors were offering. Instead we as customers get stuck in foreign lands with bad deals. Extremely disappointing. Never expected this from KAyak or Avis

Chaos at pick-up
Pros: Great little car (Fiat Panda) to drive through narrow Tuscan city streets.
Cons: Pick-up was chaos: We had booked the car at Dollar, but no Dollar was to be found at the pick-up in the airport in Rome (we were not aware that Dollar was a Hertz company, nor were we informed). The queue to pick up the car was very long, and it took approx. 1.5 hours before it was our turn. Overall, a very poor car pick-up experience.
