I know this is a well covered topic but I'm not finding the exact information I'm looking for. I arrive via train in Florence from Rome on Sunday 30 November and am renting a car immediately to drive to Siena. I currently have a car reserved thru Sixt at the train station. I chose to do this as I thought it would be easier and quicker rather than from the airport and adding on the 20 to 30 minutes from station to airport. Online it shows the rental car places open to 1300, which works for me.... assuming this is correct :) I return the car to Florence on Wednesday 3 November.
Now I am wondering with all the traffic and ZTL issues if I am better off taking the extra bus/tram time to and from the airport (from SMN) on rental pickup and return, and instead reserving at the Florence airport?
Also, I searched but did not find the exact directions provided by Robert and others for how to get from SMN rental car outside the city south towards Siena (though I am also thinking of driving first to the American Cemetary and then to Siena), either way eventually down the Chianti route to Siena.
Thank you very much for all information and guidance
