car for Florence to San Gimignano then Rome

Hi!
Will be in Florence early June and want to rent a car in Florence ( for 5 people / AUTOMATIC transmission ) to drive first to San Gimignano ( stay over in San G) and then drive the next day to Rome and drop car at Rome airport. This is proving to be rediculously expensive!! Hundreds of dollars for 2 days....
Anyone know any companies that have automatic cars or any ideas? SAn G is not accessible directly by train,

Has anyone done day bus trip from Florence to San G and would you reccommend for 2 adults and 3 young 20's?

Thank you!!
Susie

Good bus service every day.

If the main purpose of this expensive car is to get to San Gimignano, then I'd skip it and take the bus. The benefit of a car would be if you have time to stop at a few more Tuscan towns that are also off the rail line. Two-day car rentals cost more than three-day rentals, to discourage short-term reservations.
