Skarent Reviews 

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!. They are SCAMMERS. They try to make you sign the contract without checking the car. You return the car at the port and upon returning the car, the person at the port starts shouting at you because they need to close when in reality we returned the car at the agreed time. The security deposit was CHARGED and NOT blocked as they advised and it was NEVER REFUNDED. We contacted them a lot of times about it and they always come up with an excuse. PLEASE AVOID, THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. SCAMMERS!!!!

We hired a car in Sicily from Skarent through Discover Cars. Upon meeting the agents from whom we were to pick up the car from, they tried to force us to buy additional insurance from their end even though we explained multiple times that we are fully covered and showed them our sales & insurance contract with Discover Cars. They didn't event want to look at our sales agreement with Discover Cars. They said they will charge us for any damages external or internal from the 1,000 euro deposit we left with them through card, even though we have already bought insurance from the car rental website. The agents also avoided going around the car with us to mark any dents and scratches prior to signing the contract. They told us the car was already checked and had no scratches. Of course this was not true, and we had to oblige them to check the car with us ourselves. We rented the car from Sicily, and the agents barely spoke any English or Italian, they just kept speaking in front of us between themselves in Arabic.

The experience was truly horrible and uncomfortable. We only avoided getting scammed because the sales contract with Discover Cars clearly stated that we should refuse buying additional insurance covers from agents if offered, as we are already fully covered.
