Hi Everyone,
My husband and I would like to hire a car in Florence to explore Tuscany with our base being Montepulciano. We would like to return the car to Le Spezia. Is this possible? Are there any recommendations for a car hire company?
Thanks in advance!

Check Europcar's website. On our trip to Italy, the return location in Florence was very close to the city center, and it was stressful. With that in mind consider your pick up location. I would also suggest that you closely document the vehicle during pick up and take photos of the car. When we returned ours, they tried to charge us for "damages".

I use AutoEurope to see the various options. You should be able to rent in one city and return in another. Get the zero deductible insurance. You’ll be happy when you see how narrow the streets are.

hey hey alkimhealy
check the sites posters have listed. read all the possibilities that are offered of what meets your criteria. what size, automatic/manual,
doors, insurance, take pictures before and after returning (no surprises). when is this trip?
read up about laws/rules to rent & drive the roads, IDP (aaa.com/IDP) is mandatory to drive in italy. some rental agencies may ask some may not but if stopped by "cops" for any reason you will need to show it or get a big fine.
do you have parking at your accomodations, is there a charge, if not how far do you walk with luggage from parking garage?
also look if there is a drop-off fee to return to another location and especially check days/times the rentals are opened and closed,
many close at noon and closed on sundays. have a great trip & enjoy, aloha
