Rent from 121carhiere in Sicily

We rent a car from them for a week in Sicily paid deposit £14 when booked the rest of the balance after when we returned the car.After many bad reviews from people we was not sure which company we have to use as most of them got more bad as good reviews.We decide to rent with them and that was good choice as was easy and without any problem.When we get Sicily we got brand new Peugeot 208 diesel with 6,000 km on clock which was very economical and drove perfect.On collection of the car we checked the body condition with one of the Staff and marked all small dents and scratches as was a few of them,same was when we drooped the car again check out with Staff and the sign in NO NEW DAMAGE.At collection time they hold 1200 Euro on my credit card but money was released just after when we brought car back and paid for rent.All with the Rent was ok without any strees.:)

Sicily car hire 121

I booked online with a price comparison site. Actually I didn't book the first time but came back on another day and noticed that 121 was still the cheapest. I was a bit wary having not neard of them but thought I'd give it a try. It was good that everything was easy to book, and the detail very clear, including responsibilities of both parties. Arriving at the airport the handover was very easy and because the website had warned that the credit card would be used as indemnity I was prepared for that and had taken out the additional insurance (which fortunately I did not need, though I haven't had final confirmation that all is in order having had to return the car before the office opened). I was also a little worred about drop off as we had to be at the airport by 5.00 for the pre flight check in (Ryanair at Trapani) but the drop box facility worked well. Also at that time in the morning there were no petrol stations open and we had to drive from very near Palermo (100km) but the petrol was to return at the same level as it went out (which was 7/8 full) so this clearly a problem which is anticipated. The car had about 27k on the clock but was well presented and drove well (again no problems). As a result of having had no problems I can say that this was a very good deal at a very reasonable price. Clearly I have no idea (thank goodness) how effective things would be if something did go wrong.

best deal

this was easily the best deal I coudl find on cars in Italy. The car itself exceeded my expectation. was brand new and unmmarked, the service (via AVIS) was godo and professional, so overall a very good experience

CAR HIRE (BUDGET) AT PISA

EASY TRANSFER FROM AIRPORT TO HIRE DESK AREA. WAS NICE TO BE GIVEN A CHOICE OF CAR EITHER FIAT 500 or VW UP (5 DOOR). CHOSED THE VW UP LOVELY DRIVE AND PLENTY OR ROOM FOR LUGGAGE. RETURN OF CAR NO PROBLEM AND HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL SERVICE. CAR DROVE LOVELY AND IT FITTED IN WITH OTHER ITALIAN CARS ON THE ROAD BUT NOT SO SURE ABOUT THE CRAZYNESS OF THE ITALIANS DRIVING TECHNIQUES. MOST WERE ALL TO KEEN TO OVERTAKE ON BENDS AND DRIVE RIGHT UP TO YOUR REAR BUMPER HOOTING AWAY LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW.

Everything went smoothly

We rented a car for the week, at Naples Airport. The price was extremely good, and the overall service was excellent. The only quibbles we had were that the car was supposed to have air conditioning and didn't, but the weather was cool so it was no problem. Otherwise, everythng went smoothly. Communications were clear and everything was as it was supposed to be.

Brilliant Torri

Great car for the price. Took about 15 minutes and we had the key. Easy to find the car in the car park and very easy to find on our return.

Good Service, Good car, Good deal

I searched a number of different sites and 121 was one of the cheapest. Easy to book, no hidden extras, and fast efficient service at the Budget desk at Pisa airport. Collected a 4 door punto ( which was better car than i expected to get for price)which was very low mileage. Quick, easy drop off on way home. Would definitely recommend 121 and will certainly use them again.

quick service

great feeling coming off the plane only with hand baggage as not to wait for suitcase as we walked straight to the hire desk ,10 mins and we were gone , but unfortunately there are queues and after all your on holiday, returned the car full and upon inspection there was none of this suspicous damage that you were going to have to pay for ,an odd mark here,and a scratch there, this is one of my pet hates, take out the xtra car insurance prior so its safer and cheaper , dont buy it at the desk all in all we have used his site 4 times and never had a problem, but never let your guard down with rental companies , thats honest other than that brill experience ,happy travel ....travellers

Car hire for Lake Como

We needed a comfortable car for 3 long-legged (and 1 short legged) person and were provided with a Peugeot 508 diesel by 121's rental partner Maggiore at Milan Malpensa airport. It was an excellent car - in all but one respect (more later) - with very good air con, boot capacity, handling etc. The Maggiore staff were extremely helpful, sorting out the child locks (we needed them off), and letting us park in their area when we were at the airport to pick up a late arriving guest. There were no hidden extras, as promised. :-) Our only reservation is that driving around the narrow, windy roads of Lake Como in such a big car was rather hair-raising! The car hire website couldn't have known that was what we would be doing for most of the time, so it's our mistake, but we would recommend smaller cars for Lake Como! We got very good mileage from the car and it was wonderful on the wider Swiss roads and to & from Milan!

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
