Review of autoone.it


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

€300 for a scratch less than 1 cm

I rented a car with pepecars (via Surprice / AutoOne) and the experience was terrible. At car return in Bari at 21:40, a staff member pointed to a scratch on the door edge, less than 1 cm. In my photos it is almost invisible, yet I was forced to sign a €300 charge, being told that “the money would be taken anyway.”

The car was returned with full fuel, 5,716 km, and in good condition. The alleged damage was minimal and does not justify such a high cost.

Afterwards I checked reviews on Google Maps and other platforms, and many customers had the exact same problem. This clearly shows a repeated pattern that leaves customers with no defense.

Even if the initial price looks cheap, the final cost is much higher because of these abusive charges. My advice: avoid AutoOne completely.

Gentile cliente,

ci dispiace leggere quanto da lei scritto, ma riteniamo doveroso precisare alcuni punti fondamentali.

AutoOne è unicamente fornitore del veicolo al nostro partner Surprice. Il nostro servizio si limita a questo e non comprende altri aspetti organizzativi legati al servizio di noleggio al pubblico. La sua recensione, così come formulata, non rappresenta correttamente il nostro ruolo né rispecchia i fatti in modo oggettivo.

Per questo motivo, la riteniamo non veritiera e dannosa per la nostra reputazione. La invitiamo formalmente a rimuoverla quanto prima. E, se ritiene, di scriverla nelle pagine corrette. In caso contrario, ci riserviamo di intraprendere le opportune azioni legali a tutela della nostra immagine, specialmente in presenza di contenuti diffamatori o illeciti.

Cordiali saluti.

€300 for a scratch under 1 cm

I booked a car with Surprice / AutoOne through a broker. At car return in Bari, at 21:40, a staff member claimed there was a scratch on the door edge, less than 1 cm. In my own photos it is barely visible, yet I was forced to sign for a €300 charge, with the explanation that “the money would be taken anyway.”
This is not an isolated case. Many reviews on Google Maps and other platforms describe the same pattern. It feels like a systematic practice, leaving customers with no defense.

The car was returned full of fuel, with 5,716 km, and in good condition. Such a tiny mark does not justify such a high cost.

Even if the initial prices look cheap, the real cost becomes much higher because of these abusive charges. My advice: avoid this provider.
