They didn't have the Focus I wanted. At first, they gave me an MG4, which I declined. Then they offered a Jeep Avenger. I thought it was a sedan where I could hide luggage, but all the cars turned out to be hatchbacks. Thankfully, the trunk had a black cover so luggage inside wasn't visible from outside.

Pretty good. The car pickup, return, and deposit refund were all very quick.

The service is quite mature and the reception was very quick.

The Hertz location is quite large, clean, and well-lit. The process of picking up and returning the car is quick. Just be aware that Italian English has some accent and intonation quirks, so you might need a moment to understand, haha.

The staff were very helpful, I couldn’t fault them. The car was in good condition, it did have quite a number of dents and scratches and the air conditioning did not work. We were in Italy during summer and at 35 degrees temperatures it got very hot and sweaty in the car. The car wasn’t as clean as I would have expected it to be either. Otherwise mechanically the car was sound. Overall it was a good driving experience in Europe.
