I just got home today. Let me share my experience of renting a car in Italy for your reference. I picked up the car on October 6th and returned it on the 28th, a total of 22 days. I rented from AVIS for a total of 374.6 euros. They tried to sell me insurance, but I refused and said I would take responsibility for any issues. They didn't force me to buy the insurance in the end. They pre-authorized 94.86 euros on my card as a deposit. I booked a BMW 3 series, but they gave me a BMW X1 with navigation. I had heard about people getting downgraded cars before, so I didn't expect much and didn't argue about getting the X1. When I picked up the car, there were noticeable scratches on the front and back. I asked the AVIS staff to record them before I drove off, and they used a yellow marker to mark them on the contract, then circled and signed them with a black pen. The gas tank was not full, and they marked it with a stamp. The car wasn't very clean when I picked it up. When I returned the car, I made sure it was relatively clean. I told the person who received the car that all the scratches were old and showed him the previous markings. I also said that I take good care of the car, and he said I was a good renter . He told me there were no issues and I could leave. I was still worried about any potential problems, so I took new photos of the car from all angles with the date displayed. It's only been a few days since I returned the car, so I don't know if there will be any issues ? Italy Q&A

Today I went to the Colosseum and met a dishonest volunteer. I had changed my online appointment for a skip-the-line ticket and asked him where to queue. He said that the Colosseum was full and it would take 2 hours to enter, unless you joined a group and paid 64 euros to enter quickly. I didn't believe him and asked the staff on site. I was able to enter the venue without queuing very smoothly. So everyone be careful. However, the tourists who queued for 2 hours in the sun on site were really amazing ? Italy Q&A

I have an order to pick up the car in Florence in the morning and then go to Tuscany to play for a day. Because the car agency closes at 6 o'clock, I am worried that I will not be able to return the car on time, so I have arranged to return the car the next morning. But this will have an overnight problem. My landlord in Florence said that most car agencies in the city have cooperative parking lots. I can park the car there that night and go to the agency the next day to handle the procedures. Is that right? Are there any places to park overnight ? Italy Q&A

About the case of being charged about 100 euros more when picking up the car, please pay attention to whether you have paid for a full tank of oil. We usually think that you should get the car with a full tank of oil and return it with a full tank of oil, but the counter is not happy unless they charge you a little extra, so they will not tell you and then charge you for a full tank of oil. If you have already paid this money, do not go to refuel when returning the car. The money will not be refunded. If you have not picked up the car yet, you can refuse and ask the counter to change the terms ? Italy Q&A

The time of travel may not be in the peak season for tourists. It also has something to do with going to pick up the car early. In April, I rented a car in Switzerland and booked a Jeep Compass. They gave me a Volvo S40. I saw that my friends often upgrade when they drive in Europe, so I thought it was normal. It's really hard to explain why the automatic is automatically given a manual. If you can't drive a manual, what should you do? The price is also different.. ? Italy Q&A

Could you please tell me if Avis and Budget are the same company in Italy?

I am in Rome now. In the subway, I met a pickpocket. There were three or four people in a group. They took advantage of getting on the car to separate us three people. Two of them blocked our sight to look at the small bag (all of which were small bags slung in front of us) with their clothes, trying to open the zipper to steal money. My companion, because her hand was always holding the small bag, only opened half of the zipper, which was discovered by her. I felt someone touching my small bag and found that the zipper had been opened when I looked down. The pickpocket also tried to talk to me, distracting my attention. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and there was no loss ? Italy Q&A

Hello everyone, could you please tell me if you have rented a GPS when you went to the Dolomites and Amalfi? I find it hard to search for cable car stations, lakes, hiking starting points. Or should I download Google offline maps as soon as possible? I am now waiting for a connecting flight at an airport in Russia, and when I adjust the GPS, I find that many places cannot be searched. I'm also afraid that there will be no signal in the mountains and I can't use Google online maps ? Italy Q&A

If you haven't picked up the car yet, you can cancel it. If you booked with Avis at Rome Fiumicino, hurry up and cancel. They don't have the car model you booked, their service attitude is poor, and they automatically add insurance through 'upgrading the car model' without your consent. When I went to pick up the car on the 10th, I had to wait for at least two hours, at least! They can give you all the annoying things you can think of when renting a car. The most annoying thing is that I booked an Audi A3, but they claimed to upgrade me and gave me a two-door Fiat 500c instead! How can anyone travel with two large suitcases in a two-door car? Before I got the car, they kept saying it's similar to an Audi and definitely enough. After waiting for two hours, I finally got the car. Do I have to return it and wait for another two hours ?

I just returned to my country, and overall it was safe and sound. I didn't encounter any thieves, and my car was also in good condition. First of all, the safety education is quite sufficient, and the journey was like fighting monsters, but in reality it wasn't that scary. Italy's famous attractions not only have police, but also armored vehicles and armed soldiers, making it difficult to imagine how thieves and scammers would operate. Secondly, don't be tempted to park on the roadside. I always use paid parking lots, and there are people watching over them in Pisa. In addition, Italy may have an average economic situation, which is reflected not only in prices, but also in the scarcity of black people. Even in the capital Rome, there are slightly more black people, but even they look down on Italy. Finally, let's talk about ztl. Italy's historic districts are relatively small and essentially tourist attractions, so parking outside the ztl will not cause much inconvenience ? Italy Q&A

For buses that don't stop or announce the stations, how do you ensure you don't get off at the wrong stop? It seems that in Italy, buses don't announce the stations and only stop when someone needs to get on or off, and you have to press a red button to signal that you want to get off... The method of counting the stations and listening for announcements doesn't work, so do you rely on the driver to call out the stops? But what if you don't speak Italian and the bus is crowded? Looking out for landmarks? You need to have landmarks to look at, and it's hard to see them when it's dark or when the bus is crowded... So the only thing I can think of is to look at the GPS location on the map... Do you have any clever tricks for this ? Italy Q&A
