car rental in Florence
Heading to Florence in two weeks woot woot!!! Hoping someone please has some info about car rental in Florence. I'd like to find a car rental agency close to the SMN Train station as we will be arriving and departing via train. Planning on taking a day trip from Florence to Siena, through Chianti etc. Also does anyone have any tips on must see places along the drive.
Thank you so much in advance! |
Most car rental agencies, plus the brokers like Kemwel and AutoEurope, will have offices at or near the train station. I always use AutoEurope. Be aware that a single-day rental will likely cost you as much as a 3-day rental will, and that you should definitely arrange the rental here in the USA, not in Italy.

ok thanks I am definately going to arrange the rental from the US. Bummer that is will cost that much although I suppose it's less than a tour as we have no ther way of getting around Siena etc. Thank you

we rented from hertz - its across the street from the train station. be sure to get a neverlost or use the navigation system in your cellphone/PDA as the routing out of florence was a bear for us.

Hi rg,
I think that it would be easier if you were to take the SITA bus from Florence (near SMN) to downtown Siena. about 1:30 hr You could also visit San Gimignano. http://www.sangimignano.net/tourist-...-timetable.php ((I)) |
I just booked a Florence car rental today and found that Kemwel was ~$80 less for a 2 week rental than Auto Europe. They are the same company, so I went with Kemwel.
