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
There's a road out of town from Florence hertz that avoids the ztl. Will the car tell me if I can leave town before 9 without restrictions? Can the fiat 500l run 500km on a full tank of gas? Thank you ? Italy Q&A

Can you please ask me if I need to reapply for Italian embassy certification in Milan after obtaining international driver's license recognition?

Friends, today I took the expressway from Catania to Taormina. I took the ticket at the entrance of Catania, but when I came out of the toll gate of Taormina, I took the wrong way and came out without paying. What should I do? Can I still go to the exit of Taormina to make up for it? Should I pay at the expressway exit of Messina tomorrow? Is the payment made the next day valid ? 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
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
Avis returned the car at night, not overdue, the car was in good condition, and returned with a full tank of gas. The next day, I was fined over 200 euros, and on the fourth day, I was fined over 20 euros. I only paid a deposit of 180 euros, and I feel like the car rental company can just charge my credit card as they please. Has anyone else experienced this ? 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
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
