Satisfactory

I initially thought renting a car in Italy would be complicated. But Hertz made it very simple. When asked if I needed additional insurance, I declined and they didn’t push it further. Driving in Italian cities can be challenging as people drive fast and don’t follow rules. However, I enjoyed driving on Italian highways; everyone drives fast but follows the rules, similar to Northern Europe.

When picking up the car, we found its condition unsatisfactory, primarily due to high mileage. We expressed our concerns to the rental company and Hertz replaced it, which we appreciated. However, there was an issue with being forced to buy insurance at the store. Even though we had already purchased it on QEEQ, they insisted. This was frustrating.

It was terrible picking up the car. When we arrived at 10pm with pregnant wife and 2 under 4 it made no difference and we were 26th in the queue with the car rental place closing at 12pm. How can they not see that they would need more than 2 staff working. People were going crazy. We ended up having to spent £550 to get a car!

Ticket system at the desk had run out of paper leaving numerous customers confused about how to queue. Staff didn’t seem particularly interested in resolving the problem. Once being served, I was processed quickly and efficiently.

Great price, quick and easy booking process.
