My family of 5 will arrive after midnight at FCO from Barcelona. We would like to rent a car to travel to Florence area for a few days before returning to see Rome.
A few notes: we would like to rent a car due to the flexibility it offers us and cost. The sequence of the trip is set due to tickets that we have in Rome.
Questions:
1) Is there a way to pick up a car in FCO after midnight? My husband would prefer to pick up car straight away so we can travel outside of the Rome airport area before resting for the night. I can't seem to find an option for that. If we can't pick up the rental after midnight, is our only option to stay at an airport hotel and pick up the car in the am?
2) When we return from Florence we would like to drop off the car before our stay in Rome. Do we need to drop off at the Rome airport or are there better places to drop off the car that don't require us to drive in the busy parts of Rome. We are lodging near the Piazza Navona.
Thanks for any tips that you could provide!
