Watch out for fake police, don't be alone on the road, and if someone claiming to be a police officer asks to check your passport, don't give it to them. If you do, they'll ask for money or else they won't return it. Be cautious of well-dressed Indians at tourist attractions who claim to offer free flowers, tours, and then ask for money. Consider buying some luxury items for your wife, as airport tax refunds are cheaper.

Google map navigation, pay attention not to enter ZTL area, don't drive too slowly, that's ok.

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

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

The enthusiasm of the people of Sicily, Italy, is a passionate and unrestrained one. In Rome, the enthusiasm you see is a refined routine. For example, when you go to a restaurant, the waiter will recommend two special dishes for the day. When you ask what they are, he will tell you about the volcano beef and swan roasted fish... The prices are all on the menu. Each dish is about 25 euros, not bad, right? When you're halfway through the meal, they will bring you a glass of ice wine, telling you it's complimentary, and shake hands with you... As for the swan roasted fish, they will enthusiastically ask if you need help opening it. I firmly say no, but they will still help you open it as if they didn't hear me... Let's talk about the bill. When you pay, they will tell you it's 293 euros, plus a 10% service charge, and fish is charged by weight (the fish is at most 1.5 pounds, and the beef is only the size of a fist, definitely not 2 pounds), and the water before the meal is 10 euros. Also, when taking a taxi, make sure to use the meter... And there are a lot of pickpockets there, so be careful of women wearing scarves. Even if you put your bag in front of you, it won't help. They will use the scarf to block your line of sight... They usually work in groups... Even so, Italy is still very, very beautiful. It feels like walking in a historical museum, and shopping is also very enjoyable... Wishing friends a pleasant journey ? Italy Q&A

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

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

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
