A little help blues?

[Teabag Express]

Was thinking about flying in to Lyon France and renting a car to drive to varese Italy to watch my girlfriend race in the worlds for rowing.

Can I rent a car in France and drop it off in Italy? Anyone ever done this / know roughly how much I can expect to pay? Would I be better of just taking the bus?

Advice like that doesn't come for free im afraid mate and a few pics of your girlfriend could go some way to paying the debt...... ;-)

On a serious note, don't see why you cant arrange to do that and the best of luck to your misses.

Given the way that Italian men and more specifically French women drive, I would most definitely get the bus, otherwise your hire car will have more dents than the England squad's reputations.
Plus you can drink yourself senseless and watch the scenery roll by.

You can do it but one way hire can be expensive. How are you getting back?

Haha - as for pics they'll be on the internet due to it being worlds ;) so I'll let you do some research.

Thanks for the replies, I was just figuring since I've never been to Italy/France id try and make a trip out of it instead of spending it at the rowing course everyday. Didn't consider the implications of a one-way rental I'll have to consider that 1. Drinking on a bus sounds nice but I've also never done that.

The train could be an option maybe?
It seems you can go through Geneva to Varese with a stop or two for about £120

It's a great drive mate, I did it from lake Garda to Nimes the year before last, some superb roads/views through the alps.

Was thinking it would be a nice drive. A bus id be at the mercy of potentially having a mare to sit next to.

It's a good drive.

Somewhere between Italy and France in June
