" Car was not left in designated spot had to spend some time locating it,very annoying.t While refueling the vehicle a mechanic noticed that the tyres were worn and that the tyre pressure was half the required safe amount as this was just before I returned the car means that I was driving an unsafe car for the whole period of rental,this disregard of safety put myself and my entire family at risk which is totally reckless. The car I booked was an opel insignia estate I was initially offered an alfa romeo saloon which was totally unsuitable and I was then offered a audi A4 estate which was an improvement but was too small for 5 adults plus luggage.The service was friendly but very slow despite the fact that I registered my details on line.

" We rent a car from September 28 to October 8, and still waiting our reserved 200 eur. Car is unbroken, we made a photo before rent and after, because we know about cheatings especial in Italy. We are still waiting our money, so yet our feedback is negative, maybe it will change. "
" Great rate and discounted when the car was cheaper a week later. "
" We rented from Hertz and were given a firelfy car. We arrived late anight and my wife was three months pregnant so I was eager to get to the hotel. On inspection of the car we found it had a number of scratches and also a wing mirror held together with tape. Also the car smelled of smoke and felt like a work vehicle. I decided to take the car as i knew we were not planning on large drives. Also there was a number of people collecting cars and I didn't want to wait any longer. "
" Because of travelling of 6 people and some luggage I ordered Ford Galaxy (7 seats car) . Upon reaching Herz i was given Ford C-Max. never seen that car inside - after trying to pack, figured out this is 5+2 car w/o any luggage space. Returned to Herz - asked why is small car in place of Galaxy. I have 2 options then - opel vivaro (huge bus, totally not for small roads) vs opel zafira - same 5+2 seater, but a litle bit bigger. This was sad, but we chose Zafira. Also we needed child seat, which rent for 7 days was 140eur like for a new one to buy (last year in Italy for 10 days we payed 50EUR for that in different company). But Herz after all the mess with car size gave child seat for free. "
" Very easy to deal with "
" the employee tried to frighten me into taking their excess insurance even though i had my auto europe insurance. He said" that's fine, but they are very difficult to claim from if anything goes wrong" The Car I received was a good car and we had no issues with it - it was just the attitude of the Hertz employee that bothered me. "
" I've got new taxes in rent office (booster, add.driver) and the super insurance was expensive. Angry that can't see all of taxes when booking a car. "
" I've got new taxes in rent office (booster, add.driver) and the super insurance was expensive. Angry that can't see all of taxes when booking a car. The car was really good and new (C-Max with only 5500 km) "
" I was mislead into signing two excess charge waivers at additional expense "
" 1. There was no car available at pick-up time. I had to wait for more than 3 hours to get a car. 2. After car return I was charged without notification additional 30 euros. 3. Absolutely no response from customer support. I've written several letters to Hertz customer service to get more information about their unauthorized transaction, but there's still no reply (a week has passed). "
" Site is easy to use and I could repeat. No option was available however to add extra driver or select winter tyres which is what we really wanted (rafter than snow chains) so we opted for an SUV. See below "
" While I don't believe I have ever managed to receive the example car when making a booking in this case we opted for an SUV (example car was a jeep renegade). We received an Opel Zafira instead - which is not an SUV. When driving up mountains in winter ( which we told the hertz people at desk we were doing) it is definetly not the same. we were simply told however it is the same class. What is expectedly disappointing is that we did not choose the cheapest supplier but instead the one with the best rating. "

" Excellent service and price "
" At the time of collection the lady on the desk could do with a course in customer service. On the contrary at the time of return the lady at the kiosk was extremely courteous. "
" I had no problem with Auto Europe. The problem I have is that they advertise one car type, and then substitute an alternative within their definition of similar class. I would never have booked a Fiat Panda. "
" I booked an Opel Corsa Automatic/ and was given a Fiat Panda which they say is a similar car, but definitely not as good. The air conditioning was totally useless, if it existed at all. It did not have climate control, just an ordinary heater. We did not find it comfortable for long journeys. I have driven the Opel Corsa before, and it is a far superior car. "
" I have used Auto Europe a number of times and have not had any problems with them. I would have no problem recommending them to a friend. "
" At the time when i was collecting the car the Hertz staff member brought to my attention that there was a charge of ?92.16 if the car was returned empty of fuel. I told her i would be returning it full of fuel (which i did) and she said that would be ok. Then to my shock and surprise on Monday 04/07/2016, i notice that hertz had charged my credit card for ?92.16. This is not what i had agreed with them at any time in my meeting with the Hertz staff member. The Hertz staff member also tried very hard to sell me excess insurance i explained that i had super cover with Auto Europe. I eventually had to insist that i did not require any insurance. "
" I asked for manual car, but they gave me automatic. They told me that they didn't have one. "
" Everything worked fine. What is surprising is no company has fees for long term rentals. I rented the car for 60 days I would have expected a much higher discount whereas I ended up paying the same as if I rented the car for a week. "

" It took the Hertz people approx. 1 hour to serve 6 people in the queue in front of me on Sat July 2 early afternoon - an extremely frustrating experience. There were 3 to 4 people behind the desk - one lady served 1 customer during this time, then put her hand up to signal she was not serving any more people, and spent the rest of her time looking at her screen. The process this office uses seems antiquated - a lot of paperwork and copying/faxing going on. In addition, the attitude seems to be poor - slow pace of work with little enthusiasm. When I eventually got to the desk I was served reasonably efficiently, but I felt extremely frustrated by the whole Hertz experience. To make matters worse, they have some operational excellence awards "
" Had a bit of a mess up with my reservations resulting in 2 reservations being made at once, money charged for both, later refunded but Autoeurope made me go through unnecessary complications. "
" Crazy insurance charges at the place of pick up - 1.8 times the amount of the whole rent itself!! "
" While I was satisfied with your rates and service, the car hire provider hertz Comiso you host was less than reputable in my experience "
" Hertz at Comiso seemed disorganised when I collected the car. hertz delayed the return handover by minutely analysing the car despite our need to catch our flight and decided that 3 minor marks on the rear bumper constituted a fee of 450 to repair. "
" It was not made clear I would need 2 credit cards to receive the car I had booked "
" Staff were very helpful, but the process was very slow "
" V good "
" I booked 2 day in Rome with refundable excess with supercover. But gave me the voucher only basic cover with hertz. Cost me another 60 euro supercover with hertz in desk. Auto Europe gave only 79 euro out of 110.01 to Hertz which I have paid during booking. ( around 30% commission). They have added 23% vat on all the charges. Finally I have paid 279 for my rental instead of 110.01. Very disappointing. "
" Generally positive "
" I was disappointed with the Hertz product in that the car was badly marked and damaged on multiple points across the vehicle. So much so that it was difficult to log them all on the damage sheet and the staff were quite blaze saying it was up to me to note all the damage (much of which the dispatcher had not noted on the contract) to avoid being charged on return. it made the hire process quite drawn out and stressful, not what i would have expected from Hertz! "
" If my next car hire experience in January 2016 is as good as this one I will certainly be a regular returning customer. "
" A local office is only as good as it's local staff. In this case they were good humoured, courteous and efficient. One could expect no better. "
" Herta say I damaged their car when it was already damaged when I collected it. You may use my full name. "

" Due to a family bereavement we'd to cut short our holiday so we only had the car for 1 day before having to return the car back . However we are being charged for 10 days hire . I feel this is very unfair in light of the circumstances we found ourselves in . Very difficult to contact Auto Europe , no answer on the 1800 number and email response has been terse and short in that they are stating no come back due to terms and conditions . "
" i have used autoeurope twice recently and service very good no issues with them "
" i booked hertz because i thought they would be better than firefly etc but no, car not checked before me i noticed some issues and reported them and they found more after i returned the car of, scratches i hadnt seen. it shouldn't be my job to check a car, i have used europcar recently and all damage was noted at the start. i am expecting a big bill from hertz, sadly. "
" look at they way things are explained by your local dealer "
" i asked for extra driver explained that i had full insurance and did not need any extra i asked to pay for it before i took the car and she said no i pay on return. they blocked 400 euro on my card i asked why they said it was for extra driver i said that i only have to pay 90 plus tax for the driver they said yes. when i returned the car they charged me 298 this was for the driver plus insurance which i had told them i did not need if i was allowed to pay at the beginning this would not have happened. i feel that the girl new this that is why she would not let me pay. i have always used HERTZ but don't think i will use them again.

" My experience with auto Europe was very good - as always. My experience with the rental company less-so. "
" Shocked by the quality of car Hertz supplied. VW Golf with 70K kms in very poor repair. Engine failed within 24hrs and went into limp home mode. Hertz very unhelpful with replacement. Required that I drove (at max 50 KM/h) to the nearest airport. And then tried to downgrade us from a Golf to a Punto. After 4hrs of travel / waiting we got a similar class car (Brava) with 98K kms and some frontal damage which they insisted was cosmetic (the front headlights projected very little light). Overall: We were made to feel like it was our fault / problem. I would not rush back to Hertz again. My previous experience with AutoEurope and Goldcar was so much better. "
" "Wheel damage and windscreen breakage not covered but you can cover it for 6 per day" This is the sort of stuff we have to encounter when we rent in Italy. This should be made clearer at the time of booking. The staff try an sell us things we don't want: upgrade to BMW; extra insurance etc. We could have done without this sort of hassle. Also confusion over whether to leave back full or empty. Other than than it was an improvement on previous experiences with other companies Thanks you. "
