ITALY Readers's Tips - Several people on this board have suggested dropping cars off in Orvieto and then taking the train into Rome to avoid the traffic.If you'd prefer a location actually in Rome, we dropped our rental off at a underground parking garage next the Borghese gardens, Via del Galoppatoio 33.It was just a short cab ride to our hotel near the Pantheon.For what it's worth, we came in midday on a weekday and traffic wasn't a big deal, but you have to keep your eyes peeled for the garage entrance and rental car sign; ours was Hertz. PS Dropping off in Orvieto gives you an excuse to explore this very charming city.

Many thanks for your suggestion.We are planning to see Orvieto so that will work out very well. What is the best way to tour the isle of Capri.I'd like to see the highlghts and the Blue Grotto.

If there's 46 of you, the wonderful old taxi's that hang around near the quay are surprisingly cheap for a days hire (nowhere near the ripoff that you'd expect.'m sure others will have been more recently and can give a current price. regards Ian
