First of all, you have to make sure you get caught, because they don't seem to have as many cameras stuck on as we do. basically, you might not get caught running a red light.

After being photographed for evidence, the fine will be sent to the rental car company. The rental car company will charge a few tens of euros to your reserved credit card information at the time. The fine will be sent to the home address you reserved when renting the car. According to the fine, go to the bank to pay. Of course, not all red light violations will be captured, it depends on luck. The fine is very likely to be sent to you half a year later, so it's best to check your credit card records. If you receive a fine, the rental car company will first deduct a processing fee, generally around forty to fifty euros.

Just wait for the fine ticket! If you don't get a ticket, you can buy lottery tickets.

Can anyone tell me how to handle the ZTL area in Florence? My friend dropped me off at the city center hotel at around 9:20 this morning, and they will pick me up at 9:20 this evening.

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

Excuse me, I have arrived in Switzerland today and I carelessly forgot to bring my original driver's license. Is there anyone still in China (preferably Beijing) who can bring it to me? I will be in Milan from 925 to 927, or in Florence. I'm afraid international express delivery may not be reliable in terms of time. My driver's license is in Beijing, so it would be best if I have a friend from Beijing. Thank you very much! I will give a 200 red envelope as a reward if successful! ? 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

Can anyone tell me if you have received a fine notice from the car rental company after returning the car? They said I was fined for speeding, but they didn't say how much, and then the customer service asked me to wait for a registered letter from the post office, but I don't even know if the mailing address provided by the car rental company is correct... What do you guys usually do in this situation ? 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

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
