Brilliant - yes a huge help thanks. Luckily the area I'm looking at is just on the bottom of the montegiorgio square so I can align it with google earth and check all is well.Thanks again!Brancusi

Answer to: Hertz Breakdown
Sun, 06/21/2009 - 13:43

Hertz should deliver a new car.  I had a breakdown with them in Le Marche a few weeks ago and after a lot of arguing they agreed that they should be doing this. In my case they couldn't deliver one in time (the car broke down on a Saturday night and we needed one on Sunday AM to get to the airport) and they agreed to refund the taxi fare with a limit of 400 Euro on the cost. The taxi was 140 Euro to Ancona and one email to the UK office sorted out an immediate refund.I would say however that their first response was to wash their hands of it and say it wasn't their problem, it took a lot of pushing and reading parts of the contract to them before they agreed they should be doing more to help!Good luck ...brancusi

Thanks all!We spent a few days getting in touch with more agents and have at last been impressed with one who has come up with a viewing list of plenty of property - any of which quite frankly looks suitable at first glance! We've booked the flights and hopefully will find somethig this time ... we've been looking for a couple of years now in other areas and at last I feel we're looking in the right place for our budget.Thanks especially to Elicat - I've been drawing up a list of questions and the one about any financial interest for the agent (or solicitor) isn't one I had thought of...Will report back if we find something...b
