Why
you should hire a car
In Tuscany public transport is very
much designed to serve the locals who have very different
needs to tourists.
Often in country towns (such as Montepulciano)
due to the local geography, the train station can be
a 15-minute drive from the town centre and taxis must
be ordered in advance to meet the train.
In the case of buses, usually there
will be one very early in the morning at 5.30 or 6.00,
perhaps another at lunch time and then returning in
the evening, if you miss that one returning………
Therefore, at 'InTuscany', we do not
recommend rural holidays with out a hire car. To try
and get around using the local transport system can
lead to many long afternoons in the freezing cold or
blistering heat (depending on the season)waiting around
in train stations and at bus stops, frustrating attempts
to understand convoluted time tables and at the end
of it all the distinct possibility of a strike.
If you think what you have spent on
your tickets to arrive in Italy and your accommodation
and how little time you will have here, why not stretch
your budget to the cost of a hire car and ensure that
your holiday is completely hassle free.
Driving here is not as difficult as
one might think and mainly the horror stories are from
parts of Italy in the south, below Rome. Generally,
in Tuscany people are courteous and considerate and
obey the road code. As long as you stay in the slow
lane unless overtaking and allow people who would like
to overtake you to do so you should have an easy time
of it.
Driving and parking in the country
areas is not only easy but visually a delight as the
country side is so beautiful and with a car you can
go places that public transport cannot get to conveniently.
Many people worry about remembering
which side of the road to be on but there is an easy
solution to this: When in doubt think to your self 'Am
I, the driver, in the middle of the road with the passenger
between me and the curb ?' If the answer is yes then
no matter where you are you are in the world you are
on the correct side of the road.
Otherwise, the alternative is to confine
your holiday to the city centers, which are after all
beautiful in them selves.
