can try to help you, but in general in Europe when you reserve a bigger or more expensive car, like fullsize automatics or minivans automatic, and its not prepaid, they will cancel you reservation, and not honor it, even its not canceled, they only keep these cars for prepaid reservations.
I always make these reservations, than contact the rental to confirm is reserved. Never had problems.

I mean Italy is not a third world country, are you telling me that a reservation with a confirmation number is basically nothing? There's no consumer affairs in the EU to hold them accountable?

This is exactly what I did, in fact when I first made the reservation I didn't get a confirmation number in the email that confirmed my reservation, I called they said a confirmation number will only be issued after they confirm they will have that vehicle at the location. Sure enough later I got an email with a confirmation number. How can they cancel just so? Is it all European car rentals that do this, or just Thrifty?

Just spoke to an agent in Israel regarding prices in summer, he beat any other agent by $15 a day, for a Mazda 5. I think he is only an agent for Hertz - worth a try.
His number is (+972)0527617828

just called the number....first off he doesnty speak english really, but thats not a big deal
he is charging 27$ a day and noach got me for this tues for a week for 19 (then another 27 for airport and 12 for shabb)

and orbitz etc have tons of hidden fees.

the only other option can really be if u get lucky on budget.co.uk a lot of times ull find good deals

Yes he beat the Noach guy by $15 a day. Maybe thats just for big cars. I did ask Noach if he can match, he told me I should have lots of hatzlacha with that other guy! So I did.
