We want to pick up a car rental on a Sunday, but are having problems finding a company that will do that. We prefer to rent the car in Trento, but would settle for Verona. We would take a train from Venice to Verona or Trento. We cannot pick up the rental car on any day but a Sunday. Any email addresses of car rental companies that WILL allow us to pick up the car on Sunday (July 10)?
We're coming from the USA and time constraints force us to rent a car on a Sunday to drive to my mom's birthplace in Mione di Rumo, and the Margherita Hotel in Marcena, where we will be staying. It's my first visit to my Mom's birthplace and we need a car, because I also want to go to Pellizzano, my grandfather's birthplace. Help! Thanks.
The AVIS office in Piazzale Roma, next to the St Lucia train station in Venice is open on Sundays.
Is that any use to you?
Regards,
Billy
If you go with one of the more well-known companies, they should be able to accommodate you (Avis, Hertz, Budget, etc.). Even though their offices might be closed on Sundays, they can usually have someone at the office waiting for you by appointment (esp. if this is at the airport, train station, etc.). I'm sure we've done that before on the various occasions we've used rental cars in Italy. There are plenty of people wanting to pick up cars on weekends.
God bless AutoEurope. They found us a Sunday rental pickup at Verona Villafranca Airport, and we can drop off the car at the Verona Porta Nuova rail station. We'll take a train from Venice to Verona, and back. I encountered several forum posts bragging about AutoEurope. Add my name to the list of those happy about AutoEurope.
Italy, here we come!!!
Trento was unique to me because it was a small Italian city, and small Italian cities have their distinctive qualities. You don't have the hustle and bustle, noise, pollution of a big city like Rome or Florence. Everything is just a few minutes of walk, which means convenience is a big plus. Feel free to stop and talk to the local people (but unlike the big cities, not many people speak English here). Overall, you feel more relaxed in a city like Trento.
Trento, due to its position on the valley floor, has access to a wide variety of scenery within an hour's drive in any direction. I know this because I've been in every direction!
You have the unsurpassed Dolomites (see my sporting section) and, more so on the western side, some glorious lakes. I stayed at Malcesine, which is an easy and pretty drive away from Trento. Apart from the waterside castle, so loved by Goethe, the main attraction is the Monte Baldo cable car. I had to use a picture off the brochure because, the day I went to see what all the fuss was about, it was impossibly fog ridden and visibility was down to about 200 metres in places. The days after, it was shut for a month for maintenance.
One of the interesting features of this cable car, apart from the 1,650 metres lift, is that the cable car slowly turns so everyone gets a chance to savour the view.
I actually stayed in a hotel just beyond the castle in this picture.
St. Marco church was part of an Agustinian monastery. It was built in Romanesque style and dates from dal 1273. Today's building dates from 1600. The cloister of the monastery now belongs to a bank. I don't know if you can visit it.
The church is located in via S. Marco. Opening times; 7.30 – 11.30 a. m. 3.30 – 7.00 p. m.
This building in the Piazza Duomo with which the foundations of the the Civica tower are believed to be from the year 1000.
The medieval Palazzo Pretorio now houses the Museo Diocesano Tridentino with Flemish tapestries and paintings depicting the Council of Trent.
Open Monday to Saturdays, closed public holidays.
Torre Mirana (Mirana Tower) stands at N°3 Via Belenzani. This house-tower was first called "dal Marcellino" (owned by Marcellino). It was bought by Count Sigismund Thun in the mid XVIth. It is a part of the Palazzo Thun complex. It is now the seat of the commune of Trento.
