Which car rental location to pick up from in Florence?
We will pick up a car Monday morning in Florence. There are several choices of office locations--which are best? We're staying in the city itself and We'll need to head S to Siena. (returning car eventually to Pisa Airport to then train to CTerre). Please advise, thank you!

We rented thru Autoeurope and picked our car up at Avis on a street that runs parallel to the Arno; it was easy to head west from there, toward Pisa and Lucca. Siena would be SW, so it should work well from there, also.

Ditto grandmere. Pick up and return your car in the city. I understand there's a 12% surcharge on the whole rental if you pick up or drop off at an airport. Driving out of Florence isn't difficult.

We also rented through AutoEurope and I believe they placed us with Avis. We dropped the car off at that same rental office that I believe 'grandmere' The street name is the Via Borgo Ognissanti. We were arriving from Siena. It was a bit difficult to find when entering the city, but I imagine it would be perfect for departing the city. It is a one-way street that intersects with the bridge you'd need to cross over the river Arno to head south. It would also be a short taxi ride from just about anywhere in central Florence.
