Trenitalia & Maggiore Rental Car Deal?

Hi all! I have stumbled upon a rental car deal that seems too good to be true and I hoped someone could tell me whether I'm missing something important.

Trenitalia's website shows an offer that when you purchase a train ticket, you get a discount on a rental from Maggiore (I know some folks are dubious of them, but bear in mind our current rental reservation is from Dollar and frankly, Maggiore sounds like it may be better).

So I went to Maggiore's site through this promo link and found a rate for an Automatic (sadly necessary) that is almost $190 cheaper than I was able to find anywhere else. It includes the one way drop off fee, collision waiver, admin fees, and is a better vehicle than we currently have reserved.

We are planning on taking the train from Florence to Milan at the end of our trip, so it sounds like if we purchase that ticket, we would qualify for the offer.

So the question is -- what am I missing???? And has anyone done this before? The rate is the "Noleggio Facile." I can't seem to find any information that contradicts my current understanding.

Here is the promo site: https://trenitalia.maggiore.it/en/

Thank you all for your advice!!!!

I haven't done what you are asking but we did one year rent a car from Maggiore. We picked it up in Catania and returned it there as well. This was in the mid-2000s and we paid about $500CAD for a 7 day rental period. Satisfactory in every way.

I just reserved a car rental through autoeurope at Milan Malpensa. $70 zero deductible for 5 days from Sicily by Car. Well over 100 less than any one else.
