Would you recommend picking up our rental car early to visit Carmona from Sevilla?

It was my plan to pick up our rental car at the end of our 5 night stay in Sevilla. We would have it for 12 days. I am wondering if we should pick it up two days earlier, the rental would be for a full two weeks and we could take a day trip to Carmona, Italica. We are staying in an apartment in the Santa Cruz neighborhood while in Spain and one of the comments was about parking for about 10 euros per day.

There isn't much information about visiting Carmona on Fodors so I'm hoping for comments regarding whether we should add a visit to Carmona by car to our itinerary. We will be driving in the direction of Jerez after Sevilla so a visit to Carmona would take us too far out of our way.

Thanks for any comments, Deborah

Hardly worth it - just take the bus to Carmona, Line M-124, it's not far:

We came back from Seville a week ago.
I highly recommend a visit to Italica... it was much more interesting and beautiful than we expected.
Only 30 min. By bus from Seville.

"Buses depart every half-hour from the Plaza de Armas station for the twenty-minute ride. The Casal Bus goes to Santiponce, which departs from Bus number is M-172. Stay on the bus until it reaches the area outside the Italica entrance. "
I found the above on the net..

we walked to the bus station and asked for the timetable at the Information booth.
The bus we took was number 170 ... it stopped many times - took 35 minutes..
On the way back, bus 172 took 25 minutes.
Santiponce is a nice small town , sort of a suburb of Seville.
Italica is a gem...just pick a nice day ..it is all in the open.
