Hertz outrageous fuel charges at Treviso warning
Booked a Fiat Panda through our Ryanair booking, only £20 per day which is pretty good I reckon. Unfortunately Hertz require that you bring the car back full. Due to the petrol station near the airport being closed, I bought mine back 80% full. The cost of the fuel would have been about €10 I reckon, and I expected to pay…

Hi, I've got some Latvian notes left from a trip last year - I found them again recently and tried to change them at the Post Office but was told that they can't exchange Lats any more as they've gone over to the Euro.
