Driving to Florence Airport Mon am Need advice!!

Should I put Europcar's address into my GPS for Florence Airport or just Florence airport? Don't want to get lost and get stressed before arriving to the airport.
Thanks for all of your help! Your thoughts and suggestions were invaluable while traveling! We had an amazing time in Italy! Will post when I get home. Please say some prayers that we make our connections. Waited 12 hours in the Paris airport for the next available flight because we missed our connection due to nasty securiry in Paris!

Thanks again!!!

Directions to Via Palagio degli Spini [you do not go to the terminal]:

From the Autostrada del Sole (A1 / E35) take the exit for the Airport (E11). As soon as you leave the toll plaza you’ll see a gas station on the right. This is the LAST station you will see before you drop off the car. From here just stay on this road until you see IKEA. Take the next right after you see IKEA. Follow that around and look for the Rental Car entry on the right, the 3rd driveway.

There will be a shuttle taking you to the terminal.

So, you're saying put the address
of the car rental? The address you mentioned is their address. Thanks for the landmarks!

To follow N.Kingdom’s direction you must exit the A1 freeway at FIRENZE NORD. Otherwise it’s a different route that takes you there. Where are you coming from?

I'm coming from Quecegrossa --20 min from Castellina di Chianti.
If I put my GPS on, I should be fine--correct???

Thanks!

Enter the directions below. Make sure you select the route option that sends you all the way up to A1 to the FIRENZE NORD exit, then you come back down (SE direction) on the A11 toward Via Palagio degli Spini, which is the street where the Airport Rental Car Center is located (I used Hertz, but all companies are at the center).

Directions from Quercegrossa to Hertz, on via Palagio degli Spini

No ZTL along the way but the speed limit along the Siena-Firenze freeway is 90 km/h (55 mph), while on the A1 (and A11) is 130 km/h (80 mph). Give yourself at least 90 minutes, plus a few extra for refueling.

This is the last Service Station before the rental car return. Maybe you may want to set your GPS to go here first.
