…Confirm with the desk on arrival at Pisa that they have all insurances as asked.
…with some companies there is sometimes still a little local extra charge for insurance.

At the desk you need:
International licence, ID, credit card. They speak some English
…It is cheaper to take the option to return the car with a full tank, if not they charge!
