From Milan, Italy to Marseille, France

Terrible service, arbitrary charges, unclear explanations. I was charged an extra 30 euros for refueling service just because I returned the car with about 5% less fuel, without any prior or on-site notice. I even mentioned the fuel issue when returning the car. Additionally, there were several unexplained charges of tens of euros, which was completely unexpected.

Overall service was very good

Never choose Hertz for car rentals. The queue is long, and any foreign member can cut in line ahead of you. The wait is at least half an hour, and their attitude is terrible. In my many times renting cars abroad, this was the worst experience. Most importantly, they didn't give me the car I booked. I reserved an Alfa Romeo Giulia, but they gave me a Volkswagen Touran instead, claiming it was an upgrade. There were only two adults, so why would we need an MPV? If it hadn't been raining, and my wife and kids hadn't been waiting for an hour and a half, and since it was past the free cancellation period due to the long wait, I would have canceled the order.

The car was replaced, but it was still okay, same level.

The car pickup process was very quick. After checking the documents and papers, I could pick up the car in the parking lot myself, which was very convenient. I recommend using Google Maps for directions to the store. The Milan train station store is easy to find. I returned the car at the Verona train station where the store is at the gas station.
