Cons:I paid twice for insurance. The one that I bought wasn't good enough for Herd, and it wanted to charge credit card 8 times more than the car rent value.

Cons:The location did not have any cars in the face of multiple reservations given how many people were waiting outside the office. They told us cars were being brought from another location and it would be 30 minutes. This was not true. We waited over two hours for a car and would have waited longer if other people hadn’t canceled out of frustration in front of us. It got to the point that people were renting cars from other places on the spot, and canceling this reservation due to poor management. If you look on Google reviews, this location is littered with the same complaint I am describing. This is not a one-off event. I would caution anyone from renting from this location.

Pros:Location in terminal.
Cons:Horrific experience with Hertz in Rome Fiumicino. Rented a car that had a tire blown as soon as I started driving it. Called the Hertz location in Fiumicino and no answer. Called multiple times, but no answer. Had to call the US number only to get transferred to Road Side assistance for Canada? Ended up changing the tire myself then drove to my hotel. Kept calling Hertz in Rome (total of 8 times that day) but no answer. Tried calling Naples (no answer), Milano (no answer) and Salerno (answered but told me I wasn't covered because Hertz had franchised their business in Italy?). Suggested I pay for the flat myself and be on my way. In order to salvage my trip, I did just that. Only to find that the tire had prior damage in two places and it was unlikely that it could withstand another "patch" job. Nevertheless, I paid the fee for just that and tried to get ahold of Rome Hertz another 14 times over 4 days. No answer! The car sat parked because the newly patched tire went flat again! Seriously, I can't make this stuff up. Called the US again without help as they simply said I needed to deal directly with Rome Hertz only. I used Twitter to get a road side assistance number for Italy and the towed the car finally, while I had 5 days left on my rental. They refused to take me to Hertz to get a replacement saying I needed to pay a taxi for that (I was 60 miles away from the nearest location). I simply told them to keep the car and I would deal with it upon my return to Rome via another means. When I got to Rome, they had the nerve to charge me for a one way drop off charge in addition to my full contracted rate. NEVER AGAIN WILL I RENT FROM HERTZ/DOLLAR/THRIFY.

Cons:I guess dollar thrifty and hertz are one company now. Staff was friendly but car was not ready. We finally got one loaded up and headed out. About half way to our destination we turned on the ac/heater. It only worked on high and then we got blown away. Also the stale odor of cigarettes started to permeate the car. The next day I took the car to another dollar location and exchanged it. The line was long and there were two people working. (Customers from other agencies were in and out and we barely moved.) A third person finally came out but one of the two left so still at two. When I got to the counter the gentleman was great. He could not apologize enough. . I could tell he was shocked about the smoke smell) The lady who was checking returned cars also was very nice and apologized also. It took too much time. It would have been nice for a reduction of the rate. The second car was much nicer so it might have been an upgrade
