My husband and I will be visiting Florence/Tuscany in October. We are flying in/out of Rome (using miles) and will then take the train to Florence for 3 days. From there we will take the train to the CT for 2 days. From the CT we will travel to Tuscany and base ourselves in Chianti for 4 days before returning to Rome to spend 2 days and fly home.
We plan to rent a car to use during our time in Tuscany. We will be visiting Pisa, Lucca, Chianti, San Gimignano, and Siena. My original plan was to pick up the car at La Spezia but we are leaving the CT on Sunday and the rental car locations are not open. I'm thinking picking up at Pisa Airport might be best.
What makes sense as far as dropping off before we head back to Rome? Is it better to drop off in Siena or Orvieto or someplace else? I don't really want to drive all the way to Rome so hoping to drop off where we can easily catch the train to Rome.
Are there better options for picking up/dropping off the car and returning to Rome? Ideas are appreciated.
