Car rental at Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" Airport

Every car hire desk ranked by Counterwise Score

Rome's main airport, on the coast about 30 km west of the city centre. The airport-listed rental companies have their desks in Office Tower 2, a short walk from arrivals through the covered walkways (follow the "Car Rental" signs), with the cars in the multilevel car park next to it. Many smaller firms are based off-airport and collect customers by shuttle, usually from the departures level. Rome's historic centre is a camera-controlled limited-traffic zone (ZTL): fines can arrive months later, and some rental firms add a handling fee.

Top rated: Flizzr 7.9

Red flag: Several reviews from the last three months say the desk refused the car, or demanded much more cover money, because a physical direct-bank or non-traditional card was judged unacceptable even though it was used for the booking. Reviewers say this was not clear when booking. Recent Trustpilot pages report similar card disputes at this desk.

Travellers had to rent from a competitor. Broker pages confirm the deposit needs a credit card, and some reviewers say they were not told this at booking.

Which car rental desk has the lowest rating at Rome Fiumicino Airport?

Surprice has the lowest Counterwise Score at Rome Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" Airport: 1.9/10 (Poor). Main red flag from travellers: Dozens of reviews, including many from the last 12 months, say cards were refused at the counter (non-embossed, Visa, Amex, debit, online-bank cards) and then accepted once the desk's own insurance was bought, at a cost often several times the rental price. Some say the card rules were not clear at booking..

How is the Counterwise Score calculated?

The Counterwise Score (0 to 10) blends two things. 70% is an AI analysis of recent traveller reviews of that specific desk and of web reports, scored on five weighted sub-scores: deposit & damage disputes (30%), counter upselling (20%), booking honoured (20%), queue time (15%) and car condition (15%). 30% is the desk's star ratings on review platforms, rescaled against all desks we rate. Recent reviews count more than old ones, and desks with few reviews are pulled toward the average of their airport or station. Rankings are independent: affiliate commissions never change a score or a position.
