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.

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

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.

The car wasnt in the greatest shape. The pick up took inordinately long and had me visiting multiple desks! Also, I paid extra for a GPS system (that turned out to be inbuilt) in the car but had not been updated! It kept on misdirecting me and I had to use google maps on my phone

Easy to use.

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