Interested in thoughts on this plan for my family of four. We need to get from Venice to just outside of Sienna for second leg of trip. Originally thought we would train to Chiusi and then get rental, but its only a 3.5 hour drive (Google maps) from Venice to our destination in Tuscany. Simply driving saves me four train fares plus station time, etc. A week later, we are traveling from Siena area to Rome. Originally thought about dropping car in Orvieto and then train to Rome. After studying map, however, I am contemplating driving from Siena via the coast and dropping car at Rome airport, approaching Fiumicino from the non-Rome side. Does that make sense and is that a viable option? Finally, we are staying in center of Venice. What would be the easiest car rental location to pick up from? Hate the thought of schlepping four people and bags back to airport! Thanks in advance for well-informed opinions.
