I’m hoping one of the more logistically inclined members might have some thoughts about where to . . .
We will not be driving for the Venice (duh), Bologna, and Rome segments of our eagerly awaited October trip. After Bologna, we are probably headed to San Gimignano. We plan on a couple of day trips to other towns and at least a couple of winery visits, hence a car rental. Assuming we stay within the wall, I’ve already identified the parking lot closest to the elevator. No ZTL fine for me.
Since we need an automatic, the pickup will almost certainly be in Bologna from Hertz. I checked some towns in Tuscany and none were available. We will rent thru Chase using points to pay because of a bonus available to us. However, if a compelling reason exists to use a rental agency not connected to Chase I’d certainly consider it.
I do not relish driving into Rome. Hertz has a location extremely close to the Orvieto train station and the funicular. I’m thinking we drop off the car and head up to the town for a short visit before getting on the train to Rome. Does this sound reasonable? Any better ideas?
