After getting cheap Ryanair flights to Pisa, we found a great little apartment that would suit the four of us down to the ground. Luckily it was well within our budget. The only problem was that it would be a bit of a trek from the airport to our accomodation. It was then that the idea of car hire crossed our minds-with the extra money we saved on flights and accomodation, we could afford to splash out. We checked around the internet and found Argus Car Hire to be offering the best offers. Like a price comparison site, they show you a range of options that are within your budget and dates. We got a great deal on a Toyota Yaris.

We also had a lot more freedom than we would have had, had we relied purely on local taxi companies. Pisa is a great destination and we found al ot more to it than the famous leaning tower. Tuscany is brimming with charming destinations that are within easy reach with car hire. We would definitely recommend a day in the Chianti region, as well as San Gimignano and Siena.
