You will definitely need a car to enjoy a stay in our area, otherwise it will be impossible for you to explore the towns and villages and the beautiful countryside around here. There is only one bus with a limited circuit, and the nearest railway station is a 45-minute drive from Castelmuzio.

The car rental business is extremely competitive, much like the airlines. What is the best/least expensive today may not be the same as tomorrow. Here is a strategy we suggest you use to find a car rental that will best meet your needs.

Obtain bids from as many companies as you want. Our guests frequently use AutoEurope, Europcar, Thrifty, NOVA, among others. Even after you have made your reservation, keep checking on the rates from all the companies—you may find that a rental special or rate drop has occurred since you made your reservation. Be certain you are comparing apples with apples as you compare the rates you obtain. Often you will find a company’s bid does not include all the costs and will seem much lower, but in the end it really is not. Be certain to include in your request additional drivers, a car return in a city other than the one where you picked up the car, GPS unit, etc.

With AutoEurope, a car rental brokerage firm, they claim to beat any rate you find. Here is the website to submit a bid if you find a lower bid.
When arriving on a Saturday, be certain that the car rental agency office is open at the time of your arrival. Pay particular attention to a car rental in Chiusi as many of the offices there close for the day after lunch. If your travel plans will not allow you to get to Chiusi before the car rental agencies close, you can do one of several things.

• Check to see if the agencies in a larger city, such as Arezzo or Florence, stay open later.
• Pick-up the car at the airport and drive from there directly to Castelmuzio.
• Rent your car from a local Italian car rental company such as Caroti. Contact them to negotiate a rate, and if you are successful in obtaining a rate that you like, ask them meet you with the car at the railway station at your arrival time. They are usually able to do this until 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and even on Sunday as well. You must ask them where you can drop-off the car. Because Caroti is a local company, there will be fewer locations where you can return the car.
