tourner à droite, Italy Road trip 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? 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

I am in Rome now. In the subway, I met a pickpocket. There were three or four people in a group. They took advantage of getting on the car to separate us three people. Two of them blocked our sight to look at the small bag (all of which were small bags slung in front of us) with their clothes, trying to open the zipper to steal money. My companion, because her hand was always holding the small bag, only opened half of the zipper, which was discovered by her. I felt someone touching my small bag and found that the zipper had been opened when I looked down. The pickpocket also tried to talk to me, distracting my attention. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and there was no loss ? 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

The enthusiasm of the people of Sicily, Italy, is a passionate and unrestrained one. In Rome, the enthusiasm you see is a refined routine. For example, when you go to a restaurant, the waiter will recommend two special dishes for the day. When you ask what they are, he will tell you about the volcano beef and swan roasted fish... The prices are all on the menu. Each dish is about 25 euros, not bad, right? When you're halfway through the meal, they will bring you a glass of ice wine, telling you it's complimentary, and shake hands with you... As for the swan roasted fish, they will enthusiastically ask if you need help opening it. I firmly say no, but they will still help you open it as if they didn't hear me... Let's talk about the bill. When you pay, they will tell you it's 293 euros, plus a 10% service charge, and fish is charged by weight (the fish is at most 1.5 pounds, and the beef is only the size of a fist, definitely not 2 pounds), and the water before the meal is 10 euros. Also, when taking a taxi, make sure to use the meter... And there are a lot of pickpockets there, so be careful of women wearing scarves. Even if you put your bag in front of you, it won't help. They will use the scarf to block your line of sight... They usually work in groups... Even so, Italy is still very, very beautiful. It feels like walking in a historical museum, and shopping is also very enjoyable... Wishing friends a pleasant journey ? 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

It is possible that after accepting an order, the driver cancels and then someone else accepts it, and then cancels again... In the end, someone will accept the order. I called twice and both times it was a seven-seater Mercedes-Benz that accepted the order. I wonder if it is more expensive than taking a taxi. It costs over 30 euros to go from Rome train station to the Borghese Gallery ? Italy Q&A

I have a question. I arrived at the Rome train station today and wanted to scout ahead, but I didn't see the car rental counter! Also, I saw that I have to go to the seventh floor of a nearby building to rent a car. Does anyone know where to go to complete the procedures and pick up the car? It's really chaotic with a child. Thank you, everyone ? 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

Has anyone rented a Peugeot 3008? Is the luggage easy to put in? Is the size of Italian cars different from domestic cars? I'm hesitating between choosing an A4 Avant or a Peugeot 3008. Although it may not be the same model in the end, I'm still undecided, after all, the price difference is quite large ? 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

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

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
