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

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

On the Italian highway, I observed that the speed limit on the primary highway is 130, while the other roads are 110. Almost all cars are driving at 130/140. I kept getting overtaken and was forced to drive fast as well. It's strange that there are very few speed cameras. I only saw a few electronic speed signs in some places, showing the current speed. I don't know if I will be fined for speeding ? Italy Q&A

Today, I was charged 100 euros more for oil by Herzt. I argued with him for a long time, saying that you would not deduct the money when you returned it in full. But when I went back, the car was not parked there and it left. Have you ever encountered this ? Italy Q&A

Friends, have any of you rented a car from Avis in Italy? I rented a car in Florence and bought full insurance. Just 1 kilometer after driving off, I smelled something burning, and Avis gave me a new contract and a new car. Today I found out that they charged me 1445 euros for the previous car, even though I had full insurance. Has anyone else experienced this situation ? Italy Q&A

Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I have a question to ask: a few days ago, I bought tickets for the Uffizi Gallery on Fliggy, and two days later I received a confirmation email. However, I had booked a slot for 2 PM, but the merchant had booked one for 8 AM. I admit that I clicked on the afternoon option first, but there was a box below the comment box that still had 8 AM in it, so I cannot change or refund the booking. I was wondering if the morning tickets can be used in the afternoon? Because I will still be in Rome on the morning of September 25th ? Italy Q&A

My pick-up point is also near the Milan Cathedral. After picking up the car, I will leave Milan directly and go to Cinque Terre. In this case, should I be able to avoid ZTL?

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

About the case of being charged about 100 euros more when picking up the car, please pay attention to whether you have paid for a full tank of oil. We usually think that you should get the car with a full tank of oil and return it with a full tank of oil, but the counter is not happy unless they charge you a little extra, so they will not tell you and then charge you for a full tank of oil. If you have already paid this money, do not go to refuel when returning the car. The money will not be refunded. If you have not picked up the car yet, you can refuse and ask the counter to change the terms ? 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

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.
