From Venice to Montalcino...best way to travel?
Hello,
My husband and I will be traveling from Venice to Montalcino in July. We would like to rent a car near Montalcino so we can explore Tuscany. I don't believe that there is a car rental place in Montalcino so I'm not sure where the best place to rent a car would be:
1. What is the best way to get from Venice to Montalcino?
2. Where would be the best place (town) to rent a car?
Thanks!

You could rent the car in Venice in Piazzale Roma and drive from there. Or take the train to Chiusi and pick up the car there.
In the smaller towns, check on the car rental agency's opening hours. They may well close in the afternoons.

You could pick up a car in Siena. Take the train from Venice to Siena (you will have to change in Florence). There's a Hertz within walking distance of the train station in Siena. book through AutoEurope (just select the location near the train station). It's a fairly easy drive from Siena to Montalcino (closer than Chiusi - less than an hour drive).
Car rental companies in small towns will close from 12:30 or 1:00 until 3:30 or 4:00. They will close at 1 on Saturday and will be closed Sunday.
