Fees were entirely different from what we expected
Cons: We prepaid for this reservation--or so we thought. Upon arrival, we discovered that the costs were actually much higher than anticipated. There seemed to be several reasons/excuses for this. Insurance coverage--which we would normally decline, but seemed like a good idea in Italy--was outrageously expensive. We were also charged for an "additional driver" even though we are a legally married couple (it's unclear whether the fact that we are both male played into that). We were in a hurry, and so had to accept all these fees in order to get to our destination on time.
slow service
Cons: Had to wait 20 minutes at the counter before getting the car
Wasn't charged the rate quoted
Pros: Nothing. Worst car rental experience to date unfortunately
Cons: Was charged close to 400 euro even though my quote was for 275 usd. People at the pickup spoke limited English and refused to answer questions when asked about the price. Added GPS even though I asked to have it removed. Waited an hour just to rent the car and there were a ton of people also boiling and yelling making the situation quite chaotic
Pros: Pick-up in Brindisi was good. Car was perfectly fine.

Pros: The car rental desk was at the terminal, and the staff worked quickly, which was good.
Cons: All car rentals are obstacle courses of fees and extras, insurance scams and credit card holds, upgrades and upsells, etc. The system is ripe for disruption. This was only slightly more so. Hard upsells, billed in dif currency, I had to argue to get out of the most comprehensive policy, etc.
The best car rental experience I've ever had
Pros: I declined insurance since my US credit card covers it. There was no resistance at all. There were no other extra charges either, like it is typical of all foreign rental cars... Pick up and drop off was so fast too. It was such a pleasurable experience!!!
Outstanding kindness!
Pros: The guys at the desk went above and beyond to help us. Highly recommended!
Price quoted was NOT the price charged
Pros: Smooth drive in a clean & fuel friendly vehicle. Plenty of space.
Cons: The car that I was given wasn't in the same car class as what was reserved, so I paid a great deal more for a car I did not ask for.
All ok
Cons: Hard to know if it was a thrifty rental or Hertz ? A little confusing on car return
Service at brindisi was excelent.
Pros: Service, car maintenance
Pros: A good car with a good service.

Parking is also a potential issue for large cars so make your life easier and go for a smaller vehicle.
