![]() ![]() I took the time to ask some locals if I had understood correctly the rules for parking there. I parked in a public parking next to many other cars. If you are local, you know the rules but when you are not, there is so much you can do when you are on a one way street and suddenly see a sign you cannot go forward between 2pm and 4pm. They don’t make them very clear before you get into the trap. ![]() First, the ZLT signs are all in Italian and they are placed basically where you are already violating the rules. However, these are mostly traps for tourists. All my tickets where for ZLT or parking violations. Now, in places like Puglia and Amalfi Coast, they not only have speed cameras everywhere but they have the ZLT places. In Sardinia, they have signs about speed cameras but no cameras at all.

I took an Uber from my hotel to the car rental office, which was located on the west side of town, about 20 minutes from the center. Not only were rental cars available, but they were cheap too: only $40/day for a small car with automatic transmission. Thus, when it came to renting a car I turned to city rental offices and was pleasantly surprised to find that Budget had an office in Kyiv. It was the site of a prolific battle early in the war and the airspace over Ukraine is currently not safe enough to support commercial air travel. Kyiv Boryspil International Airport is currently closed to commercial traffic due to the ongoing war with Russia. Renting A Car In Kyiv – My 2023 Experience With Budget I chose to rent a car with Budget, which turned out to be a smart choice. My appointment with the art dealer was two hours south of Kyiv, which required a choice: Uber or rent a car. ![]() Unlike traditional reports, these posts will be shorter and more frequent. This week I’m “liveblogging” my trip to Ukraine. ![]()
