Rome Fiumicino Budget — chaotic terminal, orderly desk
The arrivals hall was mayhem, but Budget's counter was calm and organised. Clear damage documentation and no upsell pressure. Car had 40,000km but ran perfectly.

Our midday arrival met a 35-minute line and a Ford Focus with a few honest Roman scrapes, plus an awkward explanation that crossing into Switzerland would trigger an extra €65 fee.

The counter was slick and the Audi A3 upgrade was real rather than theoretical, but expect a chunky card pre-authorisation and a persistent pitch for tyre-and-glass cover at €17/day.

Staff clearly marked existing bumper rash, explained the full-to-full fuel rule properly, and released a tidy Jeep Renegade in under 20 minutes — exactly the sort of competent airport rental most travellers want.

Long queue, thorough damage check, and a deposit that maxed our credit card. But the Fiat 500 was perfect for Rome parking and we got it back without dispute.
