Dear Globetrotter:

Not ready to leave the Borghese
Travelers' Intercom, January 2004 issue.

Drove a leased Renault in Italy
Travelers' Intercom, January 2004 issue.
We returned Oct. 16, ’03, from a month in Italy, where we had a car for 24 days. We found that if you’re planning to drive in Europe for 17 days or more, it generally pays to lease a car rather than to rent.
