So bad
Virtuo later charged me €200 for a tiny scratch without proof that I caused it. The only evidence provided was photos taken three days before my rental. Despite several emails, they refused to refund the charge.

Terrible experience
A few days in, the battery completely died. Virtuo towed the car but didn’t replace the battery—just “repaired” it. They made us travel an hour to pick it up again and refused to cover the taxi. The next day, same issue: dead battery. We had to rent a new car from another agency to finish our trip.
After the trip, they had the audacity to charge us for all 10 days, even though we barely had a working car. We went back and forth over email trying to get a refund, but they wouldn’t budge. I eventually had to file a credit card chargeback to get my money back.
Roadside assistance? Outsourced to a ghost company (hlpy) that took hours to respond, botched tickets, and left us stranded—twice.
Also, no physical key. You rely entirely on their glitchy app, which often doesn’t unlock the car unless you toggle airplane mode or reboot your phone. Tow truck drivers had no idea what to do with a keyless car.
Bottom line: Do not use Virtuo. It’s unreliable, unresponsive, and a nightmare to deal with.
Plus jamais
Grosse déception dés la deuxième location
Cerise sur le gâteau, j’ai pris une amende pour excès de vitesse de moins de 5km/h et Virtuo m’a facturé 35 euros de « frais de dossier » (qui correspondent au transfert de mes coordonnées à la police, soit un mail qui doit prendre 5min à rédiger et envoyer). C’est plus cher qu’une journée de location et quasiment le même prix que l’amende en elle-même, ce que je trouve un peu abusif.
Bref c’était une expérience intéressante mais trop de mauvaises surprises, j’ai supprimé mon compte et j’irai voir chez la concurrence pour les prochaines fois.
Disappointing Experience
There’s no longer the convenience, branding, or experience that made Virtuo stand out. It feels like a completely different platform, and it was disappointing to realize that the original service has been discontinued without clear communication.
If you were a fan of Virtuo’s streamlined approach and premium service, prepare for a very different—and far more generic—experience now.
