Advice for a car rental pick up locations in Florence and drop off in Verona

My husband and I are renting a car in Florence, after spending a few days there. Then we are driving through the hill towns and returning the car in Verona. I am wondering if anyone has any advice regarding pick up locations in Florence and drop off locations in Verona. We are staying in Oltrarno in Florence and close to the arena in Verona. Is it easier to pick up and return the car at the airport or are the railway stations just as easy. Based on past experience picking up a car close to the train station in Florence, it was quite crazy getting out of the city. We have not been to Verona before so do not know the area around the train station.

Any advice on airport vs. railway station pick up and drop off in those cities would be appreciated.

then check where the best deal is. Generally picking up at the airport is more expensive (also requires more taxi money).
Where to return the car doesn’t make a difference, but returning at the the Verona airport would require extra effort (time and money) to get to the city center. Villafranca (the town where VRN airport is) is not exactly in Verona. The Verona station is south of the Arena, walkable distance but quite a long walk. Most city car rental offices are at the station.
