Help .... I need to rent a car in or south of florence italy. the rental agency would need to be close to the train station. i will be traveling from venice to florence via rail and then venturing south of florence via the car rental. are there car rental agencies near the train station ?

Your subject line is a bit misleading. You might get more travellers who can answer your question if you titled the post something like 'Car rental location nr Florence train station'.

What is your destination after Florence?

As best as I can tell, not in the station itself.

Attached is a TripAdvisor link from a forum on this subject from 4 yrs ago.

Yes, but you will need to be careful leaving as you need to avoid crossing into the ZTL.

It might be easier to rent a car at the Florence or Pisa airport since you won't have to worry about driving in cities.

Call autoeurope. They will advise on your options for car rental and location.

I agree that you might consider a title that is appropriate - you're looking for help to rent a car, not take a train.
