We rented a very small car for travelling in Croatia. We were very surprised at the end of the trip to have a rather large charge attached to our bill SINCE WE WERE OVER 69 YEARS OF AGE!! The car was returned in excellent condition.
When buying a train ticket in Italy be sure to read the fine print. (Since the back of the ticket was printed in 5 languages one can image how small the print was.) Though we had at least four ticket people looking at our train tickets, during the train ride we were charged 30 EUROS each for not having an additional validation!!!! What were we do it? Get off the train??? No, we gave them our credit card, the purser did not speak English, and could not tell us why. HOWEVER WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING OUR MONEY BACK.
