Can anyone rent a Benz GLA from Europcar? Is there a built-in navigation system? If I didn't choose to pay for GPS when renting the car, will the rental company give me the car with a built-in navigation system ?

Google Maps is much more reliable than GPS.

But remember to bring a phone holder, otherwise it's quite annoying.

The navigation on the GLA doesn't work, and it doesn't have a touchscreen.

If not specified, this item can be added in general. The car version needs to be explored, but it is definitely better than the mobile phone.

Don't rent a GPS, your cell phone can handle it...

Today rented a car at avis, the rental fee was more than 300 euros, a Benz E series, because my friend said that buying insurance at the counter, if there is a problem, using this insurance will be more convenient. I said I wanted a higher grade insurance, but when the bill came out in the end, the insurance for 8 days was more than 400 euros, and I finally needed to pay more than 900 euros in total. Is this normal? If you continue to rent a car in the future, will it be okay to choose the super insurance on the app ? 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

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

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 ?

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
