There was no dropoff charge. The counter people at both places were very friendly and helpful. But there are usually only one or two on duty at a time so be patient when calling. It takes a while for them to finish with the walk-ins and pickup the phone. These two, as well as Camp Darby, are not listed on the civilian websites.   Cherry C.

I had to list it that I was returning it to Pordionae (15 K from Aviano.) When I picked up the car I spoke to the folks in Mestri and they had the base listed so I returned it there....no problem....again cheaper..

I love the way everyone jumps on a problem to help someone. I found one (Europcar) on the web listed as "Vicenza" but do not know if that's the Camp Elderle location. And, the price quoted is $50 plus/minus more than the same thing at Hertz, although apparently no Hertz on Base. Guess I won't know the answer to this question without talking to them.   Leland Senior Member Username: Leland Post Number: 5949 Registered: 05-2006 Posted From: 98.218.147.237 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 05:41 pm:    Hey, we've got two people agreeing on something. That is (a) unusual around here, and (b) encouraging as to its factual basis. I, for one, am happy.   William Yates Advanced Member Username: Byates Post Number: 167 Registered: 11-2006 Posted From: 68.159.109.76 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 05:39 pm:    I did't see his post, I was trying the number on Skype on my iPhone   Leland Senior Member Username: Leland Post Number: 5947 Registered: 05-2006 Posted From: 98.218.147.237 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 05:34 pm:    William, that is the same number as George gave, but with the Italy country code (39) added. So it should work - or at least two out of two experts agree.   William Yates Advanced Member Username: Byates Post Number: 166 Registered: 11-2006 Posted From: 68.159.109.76 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 05:27 pm:    Someone listed this skype number, try it. +39 0444-505916 I tried it and it rings but it is after hours now.   George Downer Intermediate Member Username: George_d Post Number: 88 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 98.166.130.196 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 05:18 pm:    Here’s a phone number for EuropCar that I got off the web: 0444-505916 or DSN 634-8019. We called them when we arrived in Ramstein. We had three or four days before the medevac bus left for Vicenza, so we had a little lead time. Yes, EuropCar is in the PX complex, an easy walk from lodging.   Barbara Patterson Member Username: Bap Post Number: 34 Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 70.178.250.156 Posted on Monday, March 15, 2010 - 03:56 pm:    George, or anyone How do you reserve a car at Vicenza? I understand there is Europcar at the PX.
