I think I erred by intiating my travel in Italy. I seem to remember hearing that this is something to be avoided if possible.</font>
I avoid renting in Italy. They charge you for theft insurance. I rented twice in MUC, went to Italy and back in order to save money. I always try to get a Diesel. I had good rates with Sixt and National out of MUC. Another time I did the same from Zuerich.
