My comments are only about the booking experience so far - which has been excellent. Competitively priced, with clear options. I have yet to pickup the car, so hoping that will all go smoothly

Drivalia car rental

The booking with Stress Free car rentals was easy quick with no problems. But the car rental company Drivalia which we have used for years and 6 times this year have a few new staff members and the same staff member dealt with us on return of the vehicle in July and August and on both occasions went to a small light scuff one on underside of wheel arch 1" in size and the second time scuff on wheel arch moulding but bodywork in the area untouched. Neither mark was noticed on pick up. Euros 265 and 350. I have my own annual excess insurance and rental companies don't seem to like this.

Car upgrade scam

Car was not available at pickup. They forced an upgrade to fit baggage in that would have worked for the car we ordered. This doubled the cost. The rental company Noleggiare in Venice Italy also charged for crossing a border which was explicitly ruled out in the agreement we signed with stressfreecar rental. Absolutely appalling service at checking the car back in again as they tried to charge for a miniscule mark( only visible if the light reflected weirdly) on a car that had done 63000 Kms. We will never use either again. Take heed, use a reputable international brand.

Dear Ian,

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback.

We're sorry to hear about your experience at pickup and return with Noleggiare in Venice. To clarify our role: StressFreeCarRental.com is a booking platform and price comparison service — we are not the rental company. The rental agreement itself, including vehicle allocation at the desk, any additional charges such as cross-border fees, and any assessment of vehicle condition at return, is between you and the rental supplier directly, governed by their terms.

We're unable to locate a specific booking under this review, as no booking reference or name has been provided, so we can't comment on the individual circumstances described. If you would like us to look into what happened, please email help@stressfreecarrental.com with your booking reference and we'll review it.

We'd also encourage you to reflect your experience of our booking platform in this review, rather than the rental experience with the supplier, and update it accordingly if you feel that's a fairer representation.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Easy forms to fill, no hidden costs. Costumer service really good, everything explain clearly and was very helpful with any questions I had. Showed me around the car and was more tgen happy to show me the buttons. Friendly, easy and polite. The car was nice. Nice model and a smooth ride. Would highly recommend.

Top customer service

The guy at the desk was so polite and kind, I was very stressed about making it on time as my flight was delayed but he was reassuring and overall just provided me with an amazing customer service. Really impressed with it all.
