Hi,

4 days until I am in Florence, and I need an automatic car - not much choice online that can be confirmed instantly - and I leave tmmrw.

Will I get ripped off just turning up and hiring one at the airport?
Are the rates high when you just turn up? (I will be there 4 days
before I need a car - so would pre-book one at the airport for 4 days hence).

swines in Australia wanted something like 5000 Aus dollars as a damage waiver !!! i wasn't told about this fee before I left and struggled to come up with the cash. nearly didn't hire it but as I had to travel from Sidney to Brisbane I thought I'd better cough up.
Shat my self when I got caught in a violent storm on the drive up. stone chips, dents and cracked the windscreen from HAILSTONES
They never even checked it over

Def book before you go.

Type "car hire Florence" into Google and it gives pages of companies.

Always pre-booked with EuropCar when I worked in Rome.
Stay out of the "fast" lane, no matter what you are driving

Try using google and typing 'Florence airport car hire' that should give you some options to book on-line.
