isola del sud, Italy Road trip Q&A

Milan's ZTL is not scary. You can spend 5 euros to buy a ticket tied to the license plate number. Florence is the one that gives me a headache. I clearly checked the route to Piazza Michelangelo and it was not within the ZTL range, but as I drove, I found those white circles everywhere. I didn't know how to proceed. In the end, I still drove into it. But I didn't see any cameras, and I don't know if I actually entered illegally ? Italy Q&A

Could you please tell me if Avis and Budget are the same company in Italy? I booked a car to be picked up at Termini Station, but the map shows that it's actually 1.2km away from the station at an Avis location. Is this the case for Budget as well? I saw someone say that Budget is actually located inside the station ? Italy Q&A

The first toll booth after leaving Malpensa airport heading towards Verona. After inserting the credit card, it was spit out after a while but the arm did not rise. The second time it was inserted and waited for a long time but nothing happened and the card was ejected. At this time, the "recipt request" button was pressed, waited for a while and the receipt came out, and the arm also rose. I don't know what's going on. Does this receipt indicate that we have successfully paid ? Italy Q&A

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

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

The time of travel may not be in the peak season for tourists. It also has something to do with going to pick up the car early. In April, I rented a car in Switzerland and booked a Jeep Compass. They gave me a Volvo S40. I saw that my friends often upgrade when they drive in Europe, so I thought it was normal. It's really hard to explain why the automatic is automatically given a manual. If you can't drive a manual, what should you do? The price is also different.. ? Italy Q&A

Today I went to the Colosseum and met a dishonest volunteer. I had changed my online appointment for a skip-the-line ticket and asked him where to queue. He said that the Colosseum was full and it would take 2 hours to enter, unless you joined a group and paid 64 euros to enter quickly. I didn't believe him and asked the staff on site. I was able to enter the venue without queuing very smoothly. So everyone be careful. However, the tourists who queued for 2 hours in the sun on site were really amazing ? Italy Q&A

The translation and certification handled by the consulate is the translated certification, while the notary public is the notarized document. These are two different things. Italy only requires translation and certification, while some countries require an oath translation, and some countries require notarization and certification or double certification. These all need to be clearly understood by oneself. If you go to multiple countries, it doesn't make much sense to get one either. Be careful and try not to run into the police ? 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

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

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

Hello everyone! I just visited Cinque Terre on July 29th. It was very difficult to find a parking space (I don't know if it's because it's the weekend). I suggest it's more convenient to take a train from La Spezia to visit Cinque Terre. Trains from La Spezia to Levanto run every half an hour and stop at all five villages. We drove to Riomaggiore first and bought tickets there for 16 euros per person, which allowed unlimited rides all day, including buses and restroom fees. Among the five villages, Manarola has the best scenery. It is said that the night view is also special, but we didn't plan our time well and left Cinque Terre before it got dark. We arrived around 10 am and left around 8 pm, spending about ten hours. We visited all five villages, and the scenery was quite similar. Monterosso, the northernmost village, is mainly a beach resort. Vernazza, Manarola, and Riomaggiore are similar, while Corniglia, after getting off the train, requires a bus ride to reach the top of the town. After 8 pm, the train back to La Spezia runs every hour. I hope my experience can be helpful to friends who are planning to visit Cinque Terre. ? 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
