A pocket sized device, Hertz Mobile Wi-Fi enables customers to
enjoy fully secure 24/7 internet connectivity anywhere in
Italy. Thanks to the mobile
network provided by Wind, Hertz customers can browse at high speed
(up to 21 Mbps) with unlimited data traffic for downloading and
uploading. Customers can connect up to eight devices at the same
time, such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and mini game
consoles.
They can also considerably reduce the cost of calls and texts
thanks to some popular and free mobile apps available on Google
Play and Apple stores, as well as get all the benefits of an
"always on" internet connection during their holiday or business
trip. Hertz Mobile Wi-Fi is easily rechargeable in the car by USB
and also through a mobile charger provided at the time of
rental.
The Hertz Mobile Wi-Fi service is currently available from the
Hertz locations in Rome Fiumicino, Milan Malpensa, Bergamo Airport,
Pisa Airport and Catania Airport. In the next few months, the
device will also be available for rental in other Italian locations
and airports. For the first 7 days, the unit rental is 8 euros a day (plus VAT and airport taxes), for a
maximum charge of 56 euros (plus VAT
and airport taxes).
