Bamaman - my Barclaycard has primary coverage whenever I'm out of the country. I think that's pretty typical for "world" cards. But I have the "mandatory cdw in Italy" problem. Ireland is specifically excluded by the card but Italy is not. I'm going to have to spend some time on the phone to get answers. I'll post what I discover.
FlyBoy - I haven't driven in Italy, but I've certainly heard the stories. I plan to pick up the car away from the big city (Orvieto train station) and drive through the countryside to Siena (Pienza, Montelcino,...) before dropping the car in Florence. Mostly countryside driving - so hopefully not too traumatic! I've done lots of driving in Europe and am used to narrow roads and fast cars (perhaps I'll have a different view after experiencing Italy ).
