By the way, I am renting a car from Europcar. I heard that after returning the car, the key should be put in the mailbox. Do you know that ?

Not very likely, is it?

I've encountered it a few times, but it's different for different companies and regions!

"Depends on the time period. Return the car outside of working hours and throw it into the mailbox."

Can anyone tell me if you have received a fine notice from the car rental company after returning the car?

I took two rental cars, ending in Rome, Florence, and Venice. Then from Venice to Milan. Can all of the ZTLs be bought back online? What is the website? I'm going back to my country tomorrow. I want to take care of these things before I leave, as I've heard that the fines sent back after I leave are quite heavy, hundreds of euros. But do I need to have the time when I rented the car and the license plate number? ? 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

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

I will drive to Pompeii-Sorrento-Amalfi by myself tomorrow and return the car in Naples at night.

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

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
