We are told it's about one month.

It varies from company to company, and it's also related to whether you have ever rented a car from the company. I have rented cars more frequently in Europe, and in most cases, the deposit is unfrozen within a few days. Sometimes it's even unfrozen on the same day.

Check with the rental car company. I rented from Europcar in Milan and the deposit was refunded on the day I returned the car.

Can everyone please tell me, when self-service fueling, after selecting the oil gun cabinet position number and inserting the credit card and entering the password, the maximum fueling fee will be displayed, and then 20L of fuel will be added. After fueling, the fueling host will print out the bill. Now the problem is that I have received two fee reminders on my credit card text message, the first one is the maximum fueling fee before, and the second one is the actual fueling fee. So, should the first fee be a pre-authorization ? 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
