re: Best pocket wifi to use in Europe?

Okay, I recently changed cell plans (for a lot of boring reasons I won’t go into here), and now Verizon wants to charge me $10/day to activate in Europe plus I’m drawing from my existing data allocation. Seeing as I really like to use maps, search food/drink recs on the fly, etc, I am concerned with insufficient data for my upcoming long road trip through s Italy/Sicily.
So Expresso will rent a pocket wi-fi hotspot with unlimited data for 65 euros for the duration of my trip. I can pick it up at FCO upon arrival and return it to a drop box at the airport 24/7. This is for 11 days of useage, so it’s quite a bit cheaper than the daily pass on my existing plan. (Existing phone is not jail broken, so I can’t simply swap sims for a local prepaid card).
Anyone have experience with Expresso? If I’m overlooking another obvious solution, please tell me.

I pay the $10. Think of it as $4/day premium to use your phone normally.
Google Maps can save an area offline so it won’t use data every time you open it.
