Both pickup and return were very fast and extremely convenient! This is my favorite company. Since we speak Italian, the process was even quicker.

Note that Thrifty's operations are actually handled by the Hertz counter. There are a lot of people, and you need to take a number and wait to be called. There's a ticket machine at the entrance where you enter your last name, and it will show up on the screen. Just wait for your number to be called.

Has Thrifty been acquired by Hertz? When picking up the car in Milan, Thrifty orders were handled at the Hertz counter, basically, it was a Hertz booking. Hertz is very inefficient, took a long time in line, and it took two hours to get the car. The originally booked Ford C-Max was unavailable, so Hertz gave us a Nissan Qashqai for free. In Italy, you are allowed to drive to other developed Western European countries (UK, Germany, Switzerland, etc.). We added one additional driver; with taxes and service fees, the total cost was quite high, nearly half the original rental fee. I have a very poor impression of Hertz. Back in 2016, I rented a car in Brisbane, and Hertz charged more for an upgrade because the car I originally booked was unavailable. I didn't expect to book a car with Thrifty only to end up with Hertz again.

On arrival I was informed that my choice was unavailable as the vehicle was no longer part of their fleet. I was offered a Fiat 500 convertible to replace it. This vehicle was not in my view "similar" to the Cascada I had paid for. I needed a larger car for the amount of luggage and passengers I was carrying. I am extremely disappointed with the service i received and have paid too much for the vehicle i drove which was a Fiat 500L.
