Poor customer service attitude, deliberately made things difficult!

For the second part of our trip, we rented a car. With the experience from the first part, everything went very smoothly. We rented the same model as before but found it too big, so we asked the rental company for a smaller one. Returning the car was very convenient; we drove to the parking lot, and the staff just checked the fuel gauge to complete the return. It was very quick.

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.

I like the Fiat 500 because of gas mileage, ease of handling and parking. In Hertz’ purchase of their new fleet, there is no Bluetooth available in the cars and no option for a sunroof. It’s disappointing that the company has opted for the cheaper line of these automobiles. With modern use of navigation systems on smart phones, Bluetooth should really be available as a standard feature.

Usually easy to book but when searching only for a city location, it usually turns up the airport locations which makes the search rather tedious.

Hertz upgraded us to a bigger better car, but in Italy that can be a curse with small roads. We were told that that if we didn't take the bigger car we would have to downgrade to a smaller vehicle than the one we booked which would not have suited us. Also the counter staff member was very pushy trying to sell the roadside assistance & return empty option and blantantly lied about the price of diesel near the airport

Fabulous value
