Is it better to rent a car for Road trip or take public transportation in Santorini? If 4 people are Road trip, they can only rent an SUV. Are the roads only suitable for small cars? We will stay 1 night in Oia and 1 night in Fira for 3 days and 2 nights. Renting a car should be more convenient, right ? Greece Q&A

By the way, when I picked up the car from Thifty/Hertz in Santorini, I swiped 500 euros. I originally thought it was a pre-authorisation deposit, but later found that the bank recorded it as the amount of consumption. Is this normal? Will a refund be made when the car is changed later ? Greece Q&A

When driving on the holy island, I was given a car with less than 3/4 of a tank of gas. When returning the car at the airport, the young man acted silly and filled it up. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation? Will the car rental company refund some of the gas money ? Greece Q&A

Can anyone on the Holy Island take a photo of the contact information for a boat company that goes out to watch the sunset? It would be best if it's not from the internet, but from a local yacht's contact information, because we're not sure which day we can have free time, so we can only book a yacht to watch the sunset one day in advance or on the same day ?

Today we returned the car in Fira. We had agreed to return the car before 18:00 on the contract, but when we arrived at SIXT at 5:30, it was already closed. We had to walk to the next store to ask someone to borrow a phone to call at around 6 o'clock. They told us to park the car in the parking lot about 200 meters ahead, and then leave the car key under the seat without locking the car. It's too insecure, so I'm just going to leave the car there and return the key when the store opens at 9 o'clock tomorrow. Have you ever encountered this situation ? Greece Q&A

Benedetti said that it seemed that the measures announced by Italy were just for the people to see, and the most severe epidemic prevention policies of the Ministry of Health were also meaningless. And the countries he had passed by recently all adopted health and epidemic prevention screening systems, but Rome did not encounter health quarantine, let alone the staff not wearing masks, let alone protective clothing. Italian media pointed out that in terms of preventive measures against the spread of the new crown virus, not only Rome, but also many Schengen countries in the EU, the situation was basically the same. Most EU member states' airports did not even have the simplest temperature checks, and local residents hardly saw anyone wearing masks ? Italy Q&A

We arrived in Paris on the 13th and stayed for 6 days, then drove to Fontainebleau, Lyon, Nice, Monaco, Genoa, Florence, and arrived in Rome yesterday. We were on edge the whole way... First of all, the temperature here is not hot. The wind is quite cold. We have to wear down jackets and woolen hats to keep warm. It is not recommended to drive in the city of Paris. It is difficult to find parking spaces on the road surface. The entrances and exits of underground parking lots are too narrow and difficult to find. Navigation mainly relies on the map built into the Apple phone, which is actually a collaboration with Tom Tom and is very accurate. The maps we downloaded at home are not very reliable, including Google Maps. We were misled several times, even guided to a snow-covered mountain road at night. Maybe it's because we didn't enter the address accurately. Remember to enter the postal code of the region. Google Play needs to be installed to have offline maps, so you must have wireless WiFi. The high-speed rail here is very fast. France is 130 and Italy is 110. I think this is the lowest speed. There will always be cars following me to drive. After all, the car company gave me a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz E200 station wagon, black German license plate, which is too eye-catching. This caused me to park in the underground garage and dare not park on the road, for fear that my car windows would be broken and my bag would be stolen. All overtaking must be done from the left side, and then the left lane must be given up. It is forbidden to occupy the left lane for a long time. Right-hand overtaking is strictly prohibited, which is very dangerous! Highways need to prepare some 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0.5 euro banknotes and coins in advance. Do not enter the electronic payment channel by mistake. France and Italy have many dark tunnels that are relatively narrow. Overtaking and turning do not slow down. It feels like you're driving a race car, so small cars are popular here. Their control performance is good. Remember not to rent big cars! My Mercedes-Benz is too long, and the city control is really a bit difficult. Those streets, tunnels, and parking lot passages are really narrow! Bring fewer luggage when you go out ? France Q&A
