Rome - Siena - Como - Venice - Florence - Rome

The car pickup process took two hours. The actual pickup was in an underground garage with dim lighting, making it impossible to see small scratches on the car.

Extremely slow service, didn't even provide the Chinese translation.

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.

No repeated upselling of extra charges. Both rental and return processes were very quick. The staff were all friendly and enthusiastic.

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
