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.

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.

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

The car wasn’t very clean, with some noises here and the there.
