Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 290 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the incredibly friendly staff and the clean, comfortable new vehicles that make traveling around the region smooth and enjoyable. People consistently mention that the collection process at the airport is remarkably quick, efficient, and straightforward for everyone involved. However, some reviewers were not happy with occasional waiting times and having to take a shuttle bus to reach the off-site rental location away from the terminal. A few other people also felt that unexpected disputes regarding minor vehicle scratches and potential extra charges caused unnecessary frustration during their holiday trips.

I had a very good experience with ECH

I had a very good experience with ECH. The service was friendly, professional, and efficient from start to finish. The rental process was smooth, the car was clean and in excellent condition, and everything was exactly as promised. I would definitely recommend ECH to anyone looking for a reliable car rental company. Thank you for the great service!

★☆☆☆☆ Absolute Scam-Like Business Practices

Avoid this company at all costs.

I booked a car expecting airport pickup in Bologna. Only a few days before my trip, I received an email informing me that I would need to take a shuttle bus to an off-airport location because they do not actually have an office at the airport. This was never made sufficiently clear during the booking process.

To make matters worse, their business model appears to be designed to penalise customers for circumstances that are often outside their control. You must collect the car within two hours of the reservation time, and there is no practical way to adjust the pickup time if your flight is delayed.

I was only one hour late and had already informed them that I was on my way. At no point did anyone warn me that I would lose my reservation if I arrived slightly outside their arbitrary time window.

When I finally reached their office, I was told that my reservation had expired. The car I had booked was still sitting in their car park, completely unused, but I was told I could not have it under my existing reservation. Instead, I would have to make a completely new booking at a significantly higher price because it would no longer qualify as an online reservation.

So let me summarise:

They kept all the money I had already paid.
The car was still available.
They refused to honour the reservation.
They tried to charge me even more for the exact same car.

This is one of the most customer-unfriendly experiences I have ever had with a car rental company. The entire process feels designed to maximise penalties and additional charges rather than help customers who are travelling and dealing with possible flight delays.

I will never use this company again, and I strongly recommend that others stay away unless they are prepared to accept the risk of losing their entire reservation and payment over a minor delay.

1/5 stars. The car existed. That's the only positive thing I can say.

588 reviews and an average score of 4.6 what a joke.

Incredibly bad customer service

Incredibly bad customer service. We wanted to extend our car hire by 3 hours. Phone calls went to voice mail or were cut off. Sent an email no response. Finally got through and told very busy so send a WhatsApp. Nothing heard for an hour so further calls - after 2 hours were given a price of EUR50. For second car hired from SRC 3 hour extension was free after one simple call. While car was OK, customer service was terrible so suggest avoid EHC.

I booked a Toyota Proace City Verso…

I booked a Toyota Proace City Verso rental car in the SVMR category: a car suitable for seven adults.
Upon delivery, I was given a Dacia Jogger station wagon in a 5+2 configuration with the back row seats only suitable for children.
I immediately pointed out the difference, but was told there were no other cars available.
The journey I took was therefore uncomfortable.
