Follow the signs to car rental drop. Avoid the minute depose' entry and I think you have to go through a gate that will open automatically and you continue in a lane parallel to the minute entry, and then there is a ramp up to this parking area.
Let me know if you want more details.
I am surprised by your post.
There are car check-in desk at T1, but all cars must be returned at T2.
