My pick-up point is also near the Milan Cathedral. After picking up the car, I will leave Milan directly and go to Cinque Terre. In this case, should I be able to avoid ZTL? ZTL generally restricts vehicles with non-local license plates from entering. If it is a local vehicle, does it not have any restrictions ? Italy Q&A

Friends, have any of you rented a car from Avis in Italy? I rented a car in Florence and bought full insurance. Just 1 kilometer after driving off, I smelled something burning, and Avis gave me a new contract and a new car. Today I found out that they charged me 1445 euros for the previous car, even though I had full insurance. Has anyone else experienced this situation ? Italy Q&A

May I ask you a question? We took the expressway from Naples to Rome, which should be A1. We got on from the northern entrance of Naples, and the lane we took did not have a Telepass sign, nor did it have a horizontal bar blocking it. But when we pressed the button to take the card, no card came out. There was a long line of cars behind us, so we had to get on the expressway and go to Rome. As a result, we got a ticket, which should be a fine. The normal expressway fee from Naples to Rome should have been paid at the exit manned by staff. We still have to pay more than 60 euros at another place ourselves, because we don't think we took the wrong lane. So I wrote an email to Telepass's website to appeal, but more than 10 days have passed and we still haven't received a response. The ticket says we must pay within 15 days, otherwise there will be a fine. May I ask if you have encountered a similar situation and what should we do next? Thank you ? 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

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

Excuse me, I have arrived in Switzerland today and I carelessly forgot to bring my original driver's license. Is there anyone still in China (preferably Beijing) who can bring it to me? I will be in Milan from 925 to 927, or in Florence. I'm afraid international express delivery may not be reliable in terms of time. My driver's license is in Beijing, so it would be best if I have a friend from Beijing. Thank you very much! I will give a 200 red envelope as a reward if successful! ? Italy Q&A

Help! Just now on the highway in Italy from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to Cinque Terre, when I gave my card, no one collected the money when I exited the highway. I pressed the button for a staff member, and she said something (I couldn't hear clearly) and then opened the gate for me to pass through. Do I need to make up for the payment ? Italy Q&A

Encountered a frustrating situation again, in the parking lot of San Gimignano, took the card to park, when I came out and inserted the card for payment, but it didn't show anything, couldn't calculate the fee, I was so anxious and frustrated, couldn't figure it out after half a day of trying, had to reverse the car back to the parking space, and then went to ask a foreigner for help. Later, I realized that I had inserted the card in the wrong direction, and I didn't know if it was upside down or front and back reversed ? Italy Q&A

Our hotel is in the city center of Florence, we drove directly in, the hotel said they would help us park in the parking lot, 24 euros a day. Then we filled out a form to notify the police our car number. It is said that in this way we don't have to worry about the problem of ZTL zone. Do you have any friends who know this situation ?

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

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
