I plan to rent car in Florence for stay in Tuscany and return at Rome airport. I am looking for suggestion on car rental agencies. I can use Hertz, but are there any good local agencies? The rental would be probably for 2 or 3 days.

AutoEurope acts as a bookiing agent for the major car companies so you can check them out.

we used hertz from florence. their local office is just around the corner from the train station. i would advise getting a navigation system if possible.

Both Auto Europe and Kemwell act as booking agents for major car companies.

I just got better deal from Kemwell vs. Auto Europe for our August trip. Halfway through trip we will need a stationwagon for my family and I saved over $300 from Kemwell just for car. I am further saving by picking up in a city (Rome) and returning at Milan's Malpensa airport when we end our trip. Agent said I save on airport taxes on pick up only, not drop off.

Each, however, e-mailed me a voucher so I could lock in price in case it goes up with the weak dollar. Kemwell does not have a deductible as Auto Europe has a $700. With Auto Europe, if you scratch car, they get estimate and take it from the $700 they hold on your credit card.

I also gave the Kemwell agent my hotel address and was given the closest Hertz office for pick up. This agent also e-mailed me the car picture, inside, rear plus she went to Google Map and e-mailed me directions from hotel to office with map!!

Both companies have a deal going on until May 15th where you save a few hundred off car rental.

For your convenience:

Kemwell: 1.800.678.0678

Auto Europe: 1.800.223.5555

Thx Ciaodeb and ira. I booked through Kemwell and it seemed quite easy. They also had hertz cars and Zero deductible.

So glad to hear! Did you get a good price? We have to call tonight to give deposit before sale ends.

I called Kemwell and spoke to an AutoEurope agent. Apparently they are one in the same!
