Having read more than one post about the horrors of dropping off a rental car at Rome airport, I see that we can also turn it in at Terni (then, presumably, take a train /bus to FCO.) Has anyone done this? Or are we being overly concerned about the hassle of dropping it off at FCO? We are seniors, for whatever that's worth. Please give me your opinions.<BR>Thanks, James

It's not that big of a deal to drop off at FCO. The sign is small and it's on the left JUST past the airport Hilton. We missed it the first time and had no problem circling around. Just drive slow and keep an eye out. Other drivers may get irritated, but your talking five minutes, not like they're behind you on some mountain road for an hour. Don't stress about it.

Have done both. The train from Terni requires a change at Orta. The rental returns are quite cleverly hidden at FCO, but, as the above poster notes, so what. Just make the circle again.

James, It is not hard--just stay left.<BR>The parking garages on the left are your destination--really rather obvious.

ohoh

Since we picked up our car there, we knew where the return would be. It was VERY convenient! We returned our car at FCO and then took a taxi into town to spent the last 3 nights in Rome. Wouldn't have dared to drive a car in that city!

If you have trouble finding the spot, just stop any ask the numerous sky caps, police, airport workers, etc. It's Italy - everyone driver is irritated *before* they get in the car, and stopping on the road is what all the Italians do anyway.<BR><BR>Nothing could compare to the hassle to have to drive into Rome.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. Now we're ready to go! James
