This is the point I would make.
At first, everything you do when driving abroad, is done consciously and very deliberately, so it's a bit stressful, but you will get used to this quickly.
You'll still find yourself concentrating more than at home, but you'll relax into it, although in my case, not enough to have music playing.
I prefer full to full fuel policies although that might initially look more expensive. However, you'll end up leaving gallons in the tank if you take full to empty so the saving isn't that great.
Others may think otherwise, and I'd be interested to hear different views.
I hired cars in Italy and Miami last year. The latter included excess cover, but I bought my own cover for Italy and it was fine.
I bought an annual policy from

Finally, if you have a portable satnav, take it with you. If you don't, download Navmii or another highly rated app for your phone and make sure you have the right map. The car hire company will rent you a satnav, but it's way too expensive.
Have fun :thumbsup:
