Quality service and rental fleet
24 September 2026Returning the car and dealing with a genuine and well informed agent was the best experience I have ever had at a car rental company. He was prompt, friendly, courteous, and professional. New cars, quality service, and friendly staff.

Excellent service experience
5 September 2026Excellent service in booking, making changes through live chat, and at the resort. No problems at all. It was a fabulous rental experience with a new SUV and friendly staff. The young man who picked me up from the airport was polite and friendly. The service was excellent from start to finish. Very pleased with the fast delivery and return service.

Effortless return process
2 August 2026Paperwork to pickup the car was a little slow, making it too dark to check the car properly, but otherwise the car itself was nice and paid a fair price for it. We has it booked for half a month. I was genuinely impressed by the effortless service of the staff at return. Overall, we are quite satisfied with our car rental experience. Congratulations to the staff.

Great price & service
24 June 2026We booked the car at almost half the price here than we did on another online portal before. We waited one hour for the car, but the company compensated us by waiving the need to fill the tank. No complaints nonetheless. Very friendly staff and the car was great. Highly recommended.

Reliable repeat service
19 June 2026The overall experience was good and I received the service I am used to with Surprice. I only wish they had a better selection of larger automatic vehicles, as the wagon was a major adjustment for my tall family. I have used them four times this year for work and will certainly book again.

Quick resolution
6 May 2026Good price and friendly efficient service. Nice and kind counter staff. Easy pickup and drop-off with no complications. We had an air-conditioning problem, but when we called, the agency was pleasant and solved them very quickly. Customers should be asked if they know how to operate the specific rental car. Great experience, fast and hassle free.

Professional staff
11 April 2026We got a bigger car, pickup was delayed by system issues, but staff were lovely and drop-off was smooth. We were travelling with our 2 small kids and needed child seats for them, only 1 was available at the agency but they somehow arranged another. I really liked their supportive attitude of the staff. A great service and rental experience altogether.

Helpful staff and value
26 March 2026Good office, nice people, great car, and good online price. The desk agent was the most helpful I have ever had at a rental agency. We had a fun road trip that lasted for 10 days in Dalmatia. Booking was also easy and the add-ons were really helpful since it was a long drive and we needed to add multiple drivers. Thanks for an affordable quote and an immaculate service.

Smooth rental & hassle free process
15 March 2026Very friendly desk staff, very quick process, and quick return. Really smooth booking process, a good car with ample space for us and the luggage, clear instructions to the supplier branch, and hassle-free return. Good value for money and overall easy experience.

Useful travel advice
12 February 2026The car was in very good condition and perfect for our needs. The agent was very kind and gave useful information about travelling to the Croatian islands. A very helpful and friendly man at the drop-off brought us our camera lens that we forgot in the car to the airport. I would happily use.
