We are hiring a car thru Hertz to travel to Perugia and would like to know which is the easiest location to pickup our hire car from. Either Via Maso Finiguerra, 33 or Via del Sansovino. As we are 1st time drivers in Italy we are a little daunted by driving in Florence so the less complicated pickup location would be appreciated.
Before you even think of driving anywhere in Italy, make sure you know about the somewhat unusual driving rules here - look at the FAQs on the subject on the upper right hand side of this page.
The Via Finiguerra is much the most convenient for anybody in the historic center - but I've been driving in Florence for almost 50 years.
If I were you, I wouldn't dream of using either office you mention. I would pay the extra money to go to the airport and pick up the car there. The airport is a two minute drive from the Autostrada A-1, which will take you south towards Perugia.
If you use either Via Finiguerra or Via del Sansovino, it will be a bit of a struggle to get to the autostrada, and there is always a chance you will violate the dreaded ZTL rules.
Absolutely and of course Perugia has a ZTL as well. The following article explains the ZTL and also talks of other driving regulations that you need to know about before driving in Italy:
