Hello everyone, I just asked a seller on Taobao about the shipping of a Vodafone phone card. The customer service said they can only ship it 5 days before departure. Since this card needs to receive signals, it can be shipped now, but it cannot be answered. Is this the case ? Italy Q&A

Parking on the side of the road is color-coded, although I haven't been there yet. But I've read a lot of travel guides. But last time someone in the group asked about self-service payment, and it was still a little different from what was shown in the travel guide ? 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

Not just look at consumption or not, but look at whether the final consumption is recorded. Pre-authorization and recording are different. Pre-authorization is to temporarily deduct part of the amount and may return it to you. Actual recording is to clearly consume. It is best to call the credit card customer service to inquire about which pre-authorizations are still available now and whether the problem amount has been recorded ? Italy Q&A

Thank you for your response. I just inquired about the mobile phone card sold on Taobao not supporting text messaging. According to the prompt, if entering a restricted area while driving, you need to purchase a pass from a local convenience store and send it to the traffic management department. I wonder how other travelers who have been there handled this situation ? Italy Q&A

Self-service payment is not difficult. It's best to watch others operate when they are in front of you. However, it seems that no one will come to deal with it or post a note even if it is overdue. Today we arrived in Florence. We drove to Michelangelo Square to watch the sunset, which was extremely beautiful. There is a large parking lot on Michelangelo Square. The first hour is 1 euro and the second hour and after is 2 euros ? Italy Q&A

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

How to refuel when driving in Italy? As a general rule, it is best to fill up your tank when you see a sign indicating the next service station. This will ensure that you have enough fuel to reach your destination without having to stop along the way. In Italy, gas stations are typically open from 6:30am to 11:00pm, but some may have slightly different hours. Look for a sign that says "benzina" or "petrol" to find the gas station. When refueling, make sure to pull up to the pump and insert your fuel card or pay with cash at the pump. Some gas stations may also accept credit or debit cards. It's important to note that in Italy, fuel is sold in liters, not gallons. The standard unleaded gasoline in Italy is called "benzina senza piombo" (lead-free gasoline), but some gas stations may also offer premium gasoline called "benzina alta qualità" (high-quality gasoline). Additionally, some areas in Italy may have higher fuel prices than others, so it's a good idea to fill up when you see a good price. In summary, when driving in Italy, it's best to fill up your tank when you see a sign indicating the next service station, make sure to insert your fuel card or pay with cash at the pump, and be aware that fuel is sold in liters and may have different prices in different areas ?

Where is convenient to park in Florence? Florence is a city in Italy known for its rich history, art, and architecture. There are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. However, parking in the city center can be challenging, especially during peak tourist season. One option for parking in the city center is to use a public garage. There are several public garages located throughout the city, and many of them offer 24-hour service. Some popular public garages in Florence include the Piazza della Signoria Garage, the Piazza Santa Croce Garage, and the Piazza del Duomo Garage. Another option for parking in Florence is to use a private garage. Private garages are usually more expensive than public garages, but they may offer more convenience and security. Some private garages in Florence include the Garage dell'Opera, the Garage delle Cascine, and the Garage di Santa Maria Novella. Street parking is also an option in Florence, but it can be difficult to find a spot, especially in the city center. Street parking is usually limited to certain times of day or certain areas of the city, so it's important to check the signs and pay attention to any restrictions. In summary, there are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. While parking in the city center can be challenging, there are several convenient and secure options available ? Italy Q&A
