Cleaning Fee

Virtuo will find a way to charge you. They hit me with a £90 cleaning fee, allegedly for "very dirty conditions," backed by a single photo of some crumbs sent a full week after the rental.

Taking legal action against Virtuo

Standard response to previous review. Their system is flawed. I have reported my identity theft and virtuo to the police.
Virtuo remain uncontactable. Can't reach them by phone. They ignore repeated emails. I have started legal action against this company.

Absolutely great experience with Virto

Everything was handled online through the app, which made the whole process very smooth and convenient. The app provided clear information and step-by-step guidance for the rental, including the car’s location in the car park, the initial inspection, and the return process.

I really appreciated that no credit card was required, and I was able to pay easily with Apple Pay. There was also no need to go to any rental desk — the car was ready in the car park right in front of the terminal at Nice Airport. The parking fee was reimbursed afterwards without any issue.

The car was practically brand new, very clean, and had modern equipment, including wireless CarPlay. I also liked the option to add zero excess insurance and extra kilometres. The deposit was returned quickly, as it was only a card pre-authorisation.

Overall, it was a great experience during our holiday in Provence, and I can highly recommend Virtuo.

Virtuo: The AI slop of car rentals.

Do not use Virtuo unless you’re 100% confident nothing will go wrong. If you need support, the app doesn’t work. You will be stuck talking to a chatbot in an infinite loop with no way to talk to a real person. I was stuck in a cold car park unable to access our car, which ultimately meant I had to cancel our Airbnb and find alternative accommodation at my expense, with no refund for my Airbnb.

Virtuo are beyond useless. It’s the AI slop of car rental. Go with a company with real people not chatbots.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your feedback.

After reviewing your account, we noticed that the required documents (driving licence and identity document) were not submitted in their valid original format prior to the start of your rental, which is necessary to validate your profile.

We had also sent you an email before the beginning of your booking regarding this requirement. However, instead of the requested documents, we received a photo of your driving licence, which unfortunately cannot be accepted for verification purposes.

As a result, your profile could not be validated in time, which is why access to the vehicle could not be granted.

We are sorry for the inconvenience and regret that you were unable to proceed with your rental.

Kind regards,
Virtuo Customer Support

I’d give 0 of I could

I’d give 0 of I could. Wrongly got a debt company to chase me on 2024, who then apologised and said they closed the account. Now received same chasing emails in 2026 only again to be told they were incorrect and they have closed my account. Incompetent and broken cars. Please do not use or do so at your peril

Hi Helen,

We are sorry to read your review and understand your frustration regarding the debt collection correspondence you received.

To clarify, the matter you refer to relates to a legacy account with Virtuo Technologies, a company that has since entered liquidation. While the Virtuo brand continues to operate, the business is now carried out by a different legal entity, and we do not manage the debts or claims relating to the former company.

We appreciate that receiving further correspondence regarding a matter you believed to be resolved was concerning. Following our review, we have provided you with clarification regarding our position and the appropriate party to contact should you wish to challenge the claim.

Kind regards.

Avoid Virtuo: €200 Charged Without Evidence

I rented a car from Virtuo at Nice Airport on May 16. Due to a malfunction in their app, I was unable to upload photos at the start of the rental.

Despite having no proof that I caused any damage, Virtuo charged me €200 for a tiny scratch. The only evidence they provided was photos taken three days before my rental began, which does not prove that I was responsible.

Although I exchanged several emails with them and had previously rented from Virtuo without any issues, they refused to refund the charge.

Hello Eve,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We would like to clarify a few points regarding your experience. Our records show that the check-in inspection was successfully made available through the app at the start of your rental and that no damage was reported in the area concerned. We also have no record of any issue being reported to us that would have prevented you from completing the initial inspection.

Following the end of the rental, the check-out inspection and return photographs identified damage in the same area. As this damage was not recorded during check-in but was present at check-out, it was attributed to the rental period in accordance with our rental terms and our standard vehicle assessment process.

We understand that you may disagree with this outcome. However, the decision was based on the documented condition of the vehicle before and after the rental, as well as the information recorded in the app during your check-in process.

We appreciate your previous rentals with Virtuo and regret that this experience did not meet your expectations.

Kind regards,
Virtuo Team

I started using Virtuo 3.5 years ago in…

I started using Virtuo 3.5 years ago in Paris and had two seamless experiences. This past weekend I used Virtuo in Paris for the third time. Upon picking up the car, it had clearly not been cleaned — had a very dirty exterior and had clearly not been vacuumed or wiped down in the interior. Additionally, upon exiting the car park I had to pay €30. While Virtuo noted on pick up instructions this could happen and I’d be reimbursed, I would expect Virtuo to have a better solution to this. I submitted a reimbursement request and still have not heard back from customer service 2 days later. Customer service is an AI bot which is incredibly frustrating. The prices are comparable to big name rental companies and this experience was much less convenient and pleasant than I’ve had with them. Unfortunately, I will not be renting from Virtuo again.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We are sincerely sorry that your vehicle was not available as expected and that this situation forced you to make alternative travel arrangements at the last minute, especially while travelling with your young child.

We completely understand how frustrating and stressful this must have been, and we regret that we did not provide the experience you were entitled to expect from us.

Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams, as situations like this fall far below the standard of service we aim to deliver.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
The Virtuo Team

Great experience

Great experience. I loved how reactive the customer service is. We had a credit card issue to solve and the support was very helpful and unblocked the situation for us. The overall experience from first to last step was good. The app is very useful and makes it easy for you as it is very flexible.

Great rental experience with Virtuo

Great rental experience with Virtuo. Huge choice of cars, reasonable prices, and they are honest about the deposit with no fake damage charges. The only downside is that some cars could have more options like ambient lighting. Overall, highly recommended!
