> SlowTrav > Italy > Instructions for Visitors > Driving Chiusi Train Station - Car RentalsFrom the Slow Travel Forums (thread) If you don't want to pickup your rental car in Rome, a good option is to take the train to Chiusi and pickup the car there. AutoEurope, the broker that many Slow Travelers use, books for Europcar and Avis. Both have offices near the train station in Chiusi. It is difficult to find the Avis Office, so be sure you have the exact address, directions and their phone number if you are picking up from them. The Europecar office is close to the train station, but have the address and directions. Below I am copied some comments about Chiusi rental car offices that were posted on our Slow Travel forums.
Hertz OfficeTrishmael posts: There is a Hertz office across the street from the station (Piazze Dante). Europcar OfficeAndrew posts: Auto Europe says the Europcar office on Via Cassia Aurelia is "Chiusi Downtown," but it's really Chiusi Scalo, near the train station. Avis OfficeSL Jones posts: There is an Avis office "in the vicinity" of the station, but definitely not across the street (there is a sign indicating that the office is 600 meters down the street from the station, but that is not correct). Here is how you get to the Avis office on Via Molise:
Even though there is, allegedly, a pedestrian walkway under the rail yard that would allow you to walk to the Avis office, I can't imagine negotiating it with baggage (or without, for that matter). If you have access to a phone, I recommend calling the Avis office. They will probably come over and pick you up. They drove me back to the station after I dropped off my rental. They are very aware of the current difficulties with their location. The very helpful agent told me that they are trying to find a location for an office nearer the station. |
