We rented a car in Florence and will drive to hilltowns of the area and stay at Montepulciano as a base town for 3 nights. I have some questions 1) will it be difficult to get out of Florence and not get fined 2) Is Montepulciano a good base to visit the hilltowns? and should we turn our car back after 3 days because our next sites are not car friendly (Pisa and Cinque Terra) or should we just keep it and have more freedom. We leave from Milan.

Yes, there are other choices but that's one of the good ones3) should we turn our car back after 3 days because our next sites are not car friendly (Pisa and Cinque Terra) or should we just keep it and have more freedom?Turn the car in either after Tuscany or after Pisa, definitely before Cinque Terre.
