Don't you pay special attention to whether a hotel has a parking lot, whether it is charged, and how much it is charged when booking a hotel? This is one of the basic expenses of Road trip and a screening condition for booking a hotel.

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

Where is convenient to park in Florence? Florence is a city in Italy known for its rich history, art, and architecture. There are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. However, parking in the city center can be challenging, especially during peak tourist season. One option for parking in the city center is to use a public garage. There are several public garages located throughout the city, and many of them offer 24-hour service. Some popular public garages in Florence include the Piazza della Signoria Garage, the Piazza Santa Croce Garage, and the Piazza del Duomo Garage. Another option for parking in Florence is to use a private garage. Private garages are usually more expensive than public garages, but they may offer more convenience and security. Some private garages in Florence include the Garage dell'Opera, the Garage delle Cascine, and the Garage di Santa Maria Novella. Street parking is also an option in Florence, but it can be difficult to find a spot, especially in the city center. Street parking is usually limited to certain times of day or certain areas of the city, so it's important to check the signs and pay attention to any restrictions. In summary, there are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. While parking in the city center can be challenging, there are several convenient and secure options available ? Italy Q&A

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

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

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 ?
