23 Sep 2025 ALD Automotive Italia S.r.l.AGCM fines ALD Automotive Italia €5m over damage charges in long-term car rental €5m
According to the AGCM, ALD Automotive Italia gave long-term rental customers insufficient information about the optional liability-limitation service and about the criteria for assessing damage on return, and charged damage as unreported even where it was not visible to the naked eye for an average consumer or did not result from an incident. The authority imposed a fine of 5,000,000 EUR and prohibited continuation.
Return inspection reports and damage criteria must be transparent in advance, and customers must not be blamed for failing to report damage that is invisible.

11 Jun 2024 an Italian car manufacturer and its service and spare parts companyAGCM fines car manufacturer €6m over origin claims and spare parts failings €6m
The manufacturer presented Italy in its advertising as the place of production of its vehicles of two brands, although they are built by Chinese manufacturers and only undergo finishing work in Italy (vehicles of the core brand were assembled in Italy only until 2010); in addition, the manufacturer and its service and spare parts company did not make sufficient spare parts available and failed to provide adequate after-sales service. The AGCM imposed 3,000,000 EUR on the manufacturer and a further 3,000,000 EUR jointly and severally on the manufacturer and the service and spare parts company, a total of 6,000,000 EUR.
Origin claims in advertising must match the actual place of production, and anyone selling vehicles must actually organise spare parts and after-sales service.
