Very satisfied

Satisfied. They promote insurance but don’t enforce it, just mention it.

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.

The store is quite small and a bit hard to find, better to use Google Maps first. Reception service at the store was pretty good. Initially, we were given a Viano, but it was too big and we were afraid to drive it. They nicely switched it for us. The car pick-up service at the parking lot was also very nice.

Everything went really well. Just make sure to inspect the car before you take it and mark with x everywhere it has scratches (even if minor ones). They didn't have the Fiat so gave me a better and bigger VW. Car was in great shape. Can't complain, everything went very smooth. They tried selling me a gps, but the car had CarPlay so no reason for u to get it either, if you own an iphone and have data.
