A tiny two-seater is perfect to drive through narrow streets, and to park it just about anywhere you want.
Smart drivers are not very well considered by other drivers in Italy - they say they drive Smart as a motorbike -.
Anyway you will found lots of multi-coloured Smart in Florence.
If you want to experience Florence by car, or better if you want to visit the countryside, rental agencies are located around Borgo Ognissanti area.
Autoeurope (www.autoeurope.com) should be the cheapest one, but I'm not quite sure they have Smart car available.
For Smart car:

OUCH! Everyone who lives in FLorence complains about having the most expensive taxis in Italy. Part of the problem is that the city is so smalland thus fares are elevated to compensate for the short-haul fares they get.
You cannot hail a taxi on the street.
You must go to a taxi stand OR call a taxi, the number os 055 4242 or 055 4390. Remember that the meter starts from the moment the taxi gets the call, so it is not unusual for him to arrive with 5 or 6 Euros already on the meter. There are also supplememntal charges for luggage and at night and on Sunday.
There is a 10 % reduction for ladies travelling at night in taxis, how easy it is to access this concession I cant tell you.
The service is overall excellent, but pricey.
Average cost for a taxi to the airport from the city center (no traffic) about 15 to 20 Euros. It takes about 15 minutes, it is only 7 KM to the ariport from the Duomo.
