Before heading to Tuscany we will be staying in Florence for a few days. The present plan is to pick up a rental car near the train station, drive it around Tuscany, then return it to the rental office in Florence near the train station and take the train to our next destination, Venice.
This plan sounded very neat but I'm worried about picking up and dropping off the car in the Prohibited Zone of Florence. Does anyone know if the car rental offices have a special pass so that we won't end up with some very expensive traffic tickets??? Would there be an alternate place to pick up the car outside of the Prohibited Zona?
Also I'm wondering if it might be better to drive the car to Venice and drop it off there. It would involve an extra drop off cost, but might be faster and even cheaper than 5 people going by train from Florence to Venice. I'd appreciate your input on this too. Many thanks.
