The staff at Hertz in Rome Airport were helpful, guiding and arranging a vehicle swap. Even though the originally reserved higher-class vehicle was not available, they provided us with a Peugeot 3008.

The staff were friendly and patient in explaining everything in detail, always wearing a smile and did not try to sell any additional products.

Received fines two months later, found many similar cases online

The service attitude was average. They insisted we rent snow chains, which added 60 euros to the total cost. They scared us by saying we would be fined if caught by the police without them. When we wanted to store our luggage for a few hours when returning the car, they refused.

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!
