Parking and early departure in Florence
Have a 7:30 AM flight out of FLR and need to drop off rental car at the airport.
So I would have to leave around 5 AM. While hotels offer parking for about 20 euros, it seems someone would have to retrieve the car for you and they won't do that until at least 8 AM?
One alternative is to stay in Novoli area where there are hotels with parking. They're about 3 km from the town though.

I would turn in the car as soon as you get to Florence and then take a taxi to make your early morning flight. Taxi either to or from airport into Florence centro is 20-30 minutes and I believe it ran about 20 euros each way last year.

Doh, make sense.
Actually, my car rental would be the same whether I return the eve before my departure or on the morning of my departure.
But in order to park it, I'd have to pay about 20 euros anyways.
Or like I said, stay at a hotel way out. But that's not appealing.

Actually, I can return the car the afternoon before the flight at Borgo Ognissanti.
Then I don't have to worry about parking.
How does ZTL work?
If I was returning the car in the city and I wanted to check into the hotel first, to drop off my baggage, and then drive on to the car rental office at Borgo Ognissanti, hotels are telling me I have to give them the car plates so that they can tell the authorities?
I guess there are photo cameras and unless the car is exempted, there will be a ticket issued?
Would the car rental agency be able to get the car exempted as well?

Look at the hand-drawn map.
According to other posts, some agencies are in the red zone and they would get the car exempted.
