We will be leaving Bologna on a Sunday (Mar 16) and want to rent a car for 3 nights while we stay in an Agriturismo in Valiano, near Montepulciano. We want to return the car in Luca on Mar 19, and do the rest of our trip by train.
It looks like there may not be options to rent a car in Bologna near the train station on a Sunday, so we could take a taxi to the airport (4 people with luggage) to pick up the car then return to Luca.
Another option would be to take the train to Florence and rent the car from there (looks like rental agencies at SNM are open on Sunday) - it would actually take the same time to train/drive to our agriturismo as it would to drive directly from Bologna.
Are there other options I should check out? Is there anywhere else closer to Montepulciano that we could reach by train and pick up a rental car on a Sunday?
If I find a rental agency open in Bologna center on a Sunday, how difficult is it to drive out of the city while avoiding the ZTL?
Thank you.
