Review of Zest Car Rental


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's not often I give a 5* review but…

It's not often I give a 5* review but this one is deserving. Arrived at Lamezia Airport (Calabria) to pick up our car. Warmly greeted by the lady and gentleman at the desk under ItalyCarRent. We had a good deal with an additional driver free. They upgraded our car to an almost new Peugeot. Explained about returning it clean etc and the paperwork showed 2 marks which to be honest we couldn't see. Mid way through our hire I discovered that our return time of 18.00 on the day of departure was going to be impossible due to a work Zoom which was finishing too late to make that deadline. I emailed the number which was responded by an English team and they referred us to Calabria. Rang that number and again excellent English spoken. They agreed to extend our return time by up to 90 minutes at no extra charge. On our return journey yesterday we encountered a lot of traffic and were delayed an additional 30 mnutes due to Samhain celebrations en route. Arrived and were again warmly greeted. The car was checked out and within minutes we were on our way into the Airport to find our plane delayed by 45 minutes so all ended well. I always check Trustpilot before booking and generally we use another car hire for Italy but this was a good deal, particularly we extra free driver. So really want to thank the team at Lamezia Terme Airport and say book with confidence.
