Answer your questions in order.

1) If you receive more days in San Remo and the confirmation will be from the landlady (which is a big plus for the formation of a package of documents) from there, then the visa must be opened accordingly.

Of the remaining documents must also provide:

  • passport in the original (+ old if available),
  • certificate from work (indicating the position, salary and number of employees),
  • an extract from the bank about the availability of funds on the account,
  • 2 photos of color 3, 5 by 4, 5 cm on a light background,
  • a copy of the Russian passport (all pages, including the blank pages and the last pages that are on the covers),
  • booking tickets or documents on the car (if you are traveling by car), namely a green card on the car, a copy of the driver's license and registration of the vehicle.

2) Regarding car rental. Prices, of course, vary depending on the season and the number of days. Approximately mini car costs 40 EUR, and an economy car costs 50 EUR. In the summer for 2 days - from 100 EUR, for 4 days - from 120 EUR. There is a price for 400 EUR per day with a driver. See rent from brokers such as Europcar, Avis, Sixt, Alamo. It should be noted that almost all have a surcharge for the driver under 26.

To travel to San Remo and further itinerary along the Côte d'Azur, it's best to rent a car in San Remo directly at the airport.
