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

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?

I took two rental cars, ending in Rome, Florence, and Venice. Then from Venice to Milan. Can all of the ZTLs be bought back online? What is the website? I'm going back to my country tomorrow. I want to take care of these things before I leave, as I've heard that the fines sent back after I leave are quite heavy, hundreds of euros. But do I need to have the time when I rented the car and the license plate number? ? 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 ?

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

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

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

On the Italian highway, I observed that the speed limit on the primary highway is 130, while the other roads are 110. Almost all cars are driving at 130/140. I kept getting overtaken and was forced to drive fast as well. It's strange that there are very few speed cameras. I only saw a few electronic speed signs in some places, showing the current speed. I don't know if I will be fined for speeding ? Italy Q&A

I just returned to my country, and overall it was safe and sound. I didn't encounter any thieves, and my car was also in good condition. First of all, the safety education is quite sufficient, and the journey was like fighting monsters, but in reality it wasn't that scary. Italy's famous attractions not only have police, but also armored vehicles and armed soldiers, making it difficult to imagine how thieves and scammers would operate. Secondly, don't be tempted to park on the roadside. I always use paid parking lots, and there are people watching over them in Pisa. In addition, Italy may have an average economic situation, which is reflected not only in prices, but also in the scarcity of black people. Even in the capital Rome, there are slightly more black people, but even they look down on Italy. Finally, let's talk about ztl. Italy's historic districts are relatively small and essentially tourist attractions, so parking outside the ztl will not cause much inconvenience ? Italy Q&A
