CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON HERTZ AT ROME FIUMICINO AIRPORT, FCO

Had to communicate back and forth; the car model was not correct, and they couldn't provide the booked car in the end.

Car was good but had problem with it constantly turning off. Also the windscreen washing liquid container was empty

Good platform. Good price

Received two charges of 31 euros each four months after returning home. I got a parking ticket in Sorrento, Italy, and paid it in cash on the spot. I suspect someone is stealing money. Be very careful when parking a rental car in Italy, they're desperate for money now.

Consistently excellent: car condition, service attitude, and the staff even helped with luggage. Great!

Hertz wouldn’t rent to me. I contacted them ahead of time to see if they would accept my temporary license and they said they would. Upon arrival they told me they wouldn’t accept it and so they couldn’t rent to me. I ended up renting from a different company.

No cars available and charged me for insurance. I won't rent from them again even if it's cheap.

Extremely inefficient, it took almost an hour to get the car. They kept trying to upsell model upgrades and additional charges for swapping between two cars (we rented two cars). European and American customers seemed to go through much faster.

Not crowded, no queues

Usually, if there are no similar vehicles available, other companies provide the same or a higher class car. Hertz replaced my Mercedes C-Class with an Audi Q3 and told me they were the same class, which was very unsatisfactory.

The waiting time in line was too long... but the service attitude was great.

With Hertz, there were quite a few people, but it was still manageable.

Like: I got an unbelievably low rate through easy rent cars.com and the car was almost exactly what we wanted.
Dislike: The horn in the car didn’t work and in Italy you definitely need a horn. The car company REALLY REALLY should give EVERYONE quick briefing on driving in Italy (ZTL zones, camera surveillance and ticketing, etc) even if it’s just a 3x5 size explaining in the drivers language what mostly is different in traffic laws for Italy. It could even be written by former car rental customers.

When returning the car, we were required to fill up the tank. After doing so, the fuel gauge still didn't show full, and they charged us without explanation. Fortunately, we noticed and went back to dispute it. We took the staff to the gas station, filled the tank again, and the gauge still showed one bar less, causing us to waste money on extra fuel, as the automatic machine didn't give change. Going back again for a refund wasted a lot of our time.

Picking up the car had some minor issues, and dropping it off was difficult due to the location and the terrible weather.

Terrible service

Second time I used Hertz and found the service below average and the amount of time for picking up car way too long.

The service attitude was very poor, and they couldn't solve the problem at all.

There were a lot of people in line, waited for about an hour.

Hertz rental company has a cold attitude towards Chinese people, not as good as Avis! When picking up and returning the car, no one interacts with you much, and they don't even provide receipt documents. Moreover, they didn't inform me about DEF for the diesel car, causing me to worry for a long time and pay an extra 15 euros for AdBlue.

I had a 4 PM reservation to pick up the car. I arrived at the counter at 3:30 PM, but they made me wait in line with non-reserved customers. I didn't get the car until 6:30 PM.
