Im gesamten waren wir mit Locauto…

Im gesamten waren wir mit Locauto zufrieden aber es reicht leider nicht für 5 Sterne. Die Mitarbeiter in Palermo und Catania waren sehr freundlich. Das Auto (Jeep Renegade) war in einem ausgezeichneten Zustand sowie auch die Bereifungen. Aber da gibt es noch ein wenig Luft nach oben. Bei der Abholung wurden wir nicht von einem Mitarbeiter begleitet der uns den Wagen vorstellte und uns die Bedieneinheiten erklärte (fündig wurden wir zb. in Google wo die Lautstärke vom Radio eingestellt wird (auf der Rückseite im Lenkrad)). Das Auto haben wir über Booking.com gebucht mit einer "Versicherung Komplettschutz". Bei der Abholung wurde uns die "don't worry" empfohlen weil der Komplettschutz nicht alles abdecken würde. Schlussendlich haben wir uns dazu überreden lassen und diese Versicherung gewählt. Aber da wäre ein preisliches Entgegenkommen schon schön gewesen wenn man jetzt doppelt versichert ist. Und zuletzt der Abgabeort in Catania. Der Abgabeort im Link ("www locautorent.com en car-rental locations sicily catania airport/") stimmt nicht. Der befindet sich im Parkhaus gegenüber.
Trotz allem würden wir Locauto weiter empfehlen weil alles im Gesamten gepasst hat.

Google Translate:
Overall, we were satisfied with Locauto, though it falls just short of a 5-star rating. The staff in Palermo and Catania were very friendly. The car (a Jeep Renegade) was in excellent condition, as were the tires. However, there is still some room for improvement. At pickup, no staff member accompanied us to introduce the car or explain the controls (for instance, we had to use Google to figure out how to adjust the radio volume—it’s located on the back of the steering wheel). We had booked the car via Booking.com with "comprehensive insurance coverage." Upon pickup, we were advised to get the "Don't Worry" package because the comprehensive coverage supposedly didn't cover everything. We eventually let ourselves be persuaded to add this insurance. However, a price concession would have been appreciated given that we ended up with double coverage. Finally, regarding the drop-off location in Catania: the location shown in the link (locautorent.com en car-rental locations sicily catania airport ) is incorrect; the actual drop-off point is in the parking garage opposite.
Despite these issues, we would still recommend Locauto, as the overall experience was positive.

Service and Quick delivery and return

Service and Quick delivery and return. Car in excellent State and as good as new.
It was a suprise that the price that you book gets a other dimension when you want a insurance and fuel option pakket. The price is then like all the other car rentals.

Mixed emotions about the service, not exactly satisfied with the car.

After great experience with Locauto Catania city branch, we used Locauto again, this time in Palermo. Car took a sweet time to get ready for pick-up because of the baby seat, even though we ordered that before on-line. Gentleman on the counter was a little pushy about their overprices inaurance. Lady who introduced the car for is was nice and helpful. Main downside for us was the car itself. We ordered an Opel Corsa and got MG ZS, an SUV. This might seem like an upgrade on paper but in Sicilian cities, not so much. Essentially worse fuel economy and smaller trunk than my own VW Golf. Even though the car was modern, phone cannot be connected for Android auto without physical USB cable, which is astonishing in 2026. Also Android Auto disconnected occasionally, not very practical in traffic. Drop-off in Palermo Airport was quick and efficient, all good in this regard.

Dear Martin,Thank you for choosing Locauto again for your trip to Palermo and for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that our team member at car presentation was helpful and that your return process at Palermo Airport was quick and efficient.
Regarding child seats: while child seats can be requested in advance during the booking process, specific sizes and final fits cannot be guaranteed prior to arrival. For safety and compliance reasons, the exact seat type is verified at the counter in real time, which can occasionally cause a brief wait during pickup.
Regarding the vehicle, when a reserved category is unavailable, our policy is to provide a complimentary upgrade to a higher vehicle category, such as an SUV. We are sorry to hear that this category was not ideal for your driving needs in Sicily and did not meet your expectations. Please note that onboard features—such as Android Auto connectivity and physical port requirements—are determined directly by the vehicle manufacturer.

We deeply value your comments to continuously refine our services and fleet operations. We sincerely hope to have another opportunity in the future to welcome you back and restore your complete confidence in Locauto.

The man who checked out our rental car in Palermo was quite rude

The man who checked in our car in Catania was lovely. So was the woman who helped us to adjust our reservation timing. Car was clean and drove well. Price was fair too

Don't rely on your phone for payment!

The experience was pretty straight forward but a bit officious. We nearly came unstuck when we had to pay for the car. My partner had our credit card activated on her phone but the car rentals company wouldn't accept that as a form of payment. Luckily I had my money travel card which worked but it pretty much wiped out the cash I had for the holiday. This may well be SOP but we didn't know and it nearly ruined our holiday. That said, the car was new, clean and straightforward so not complaints on that score.

Regarding our payment policy, we would like to remind you that Locauto requires a physical credit or debit card with the cardholder's name and numbers embossed/printed on it, as stated in our terms and conditions on locautorent.com. We will share your feedback with our team to improve our service, and we hope to have another opportunity to regain your trust in the future.

Rented a VW Tiguan from the Palermo Notarbartolo branch. The staff were very friendly and helpful — they explained everything clearly and the pickup was quick and easy. Returning the car at Palermo Airport was just as smooth. Thank you for making the trip stress-free!
