EXCELLENT

When picking up the car, a female staff member was deliberately making things difficult for us with a very bad attitude. Even though it was our turn, she intentionally allowed the foreigners behind us to go first. We had to find another female staff member who just started her shift to successfully rent the car. However, during the rental process, the staff member with the bad attitude tried to stop her colleague from assisting us. The staff member inspecting the car when returning it was nice, and the one handling the paperwork was acceptable. (No Chinese service available)

Has Thrifty been acquired by Hertz? When picking up the car in Milan, Thrifty orders were handled at the Hertz counter, basically, it was a Hertz booking. Hertz is very inefficient, took a long time in line, and it took two hours to get the car. The originally booked Ford C-Max was unavailable, so Hertz gave us a Nissan Qashqai for free. In Italy, you are allowed to drive to other developed Western European countries (UK, Germany, Switzerland, etc.). We added one additional driver; with taxes and service fees, the total cost was quite high, nearly half the original rental fee. I have a very poor impression of Hertz. Back in 2016, I rented a car in Brisbane, and Hertz charged more for an upgrade because the car I originally booked was unavailable. I didn't expect to book a car with Thrifty only to end up with Hertz again.

I booked an SUV but was given a 7-seater instead.

Using Hertz for car renting in US a great pleasure.Italy is a totally different story.Customer service is very poor.My car broke down 40 minutes after pick up.Getting in touch with someone who at list speaks some english is almost impossible.After being stranded in the middle of nowhere for several long hours we finally got "road assistance".They simply picked they broken car and .....left us on the street with the luggage and kids in the dark.Next day,we got condition report claiming that we broke the driver side mirror with the pictures dated two weeks before we even arrived to Milan.To be even more confident.....they photoshoped my signature below....Really hard to believe,i know,but this is what my family had to come accross with.Stay away....or at list be extrimely carefull.... At the end,got the full invoice,like i used the vehicle the entire time...
