Got a ride instantly to Rome. There is a lot of cars. But you have to jump a fence, if you arrive walking.

Small junction after thr village, its possible for cars to stop although there is not much space

Easily accesible from florence by bus, there is a small space for cars to stop on a slight downhill slope
Local drivers suprisingly helpful got a short ride to the next Village in 5min (including a tour to a construction site)

Very good spot, I was probably lucky but just holding my sign saying La Spezia a had an old couple stop really quickly.

I took the tram T1 to the airport and walked there. Many people are going to Prato. After asking around for more or less 20 minutes I got a ride to Bologna

Cars can see you from distance and there is enough space for them to stop. But the problem is, that you are still quite in the center and with sign to Livorno its a bit strange. One car offered me Empoli and second Lucca but I declined both (should have taken Empoli).

Not a frequented gas station. Maybe 1 car left every 5 minutes (cca 6 cars in 30 minutes). One older lady offered me a ride to Viareggio but I declined because I wanted to Livorno.

I was alone with sign trying to get to Bologna. You are kind of hidden behind the curve and there is a big sign "no autostop" above you. There are a lot of cars, but they are speeding. Also the spot where they could stop you was still occupied by some other cars setting their gps. And italians are not into taking hitchhikers, so the driver was a foreigner and he took me to the first exit.

Okay place, not much time for cars to decide, but it works, we used a sign for Florence, there is a trash can at the parking where we found cardboard so id recommend making a sign, since right away the first car we showed the sign to stoped😆

Got lucky that some workers were opening the gate as soon as I got to the station. Not sure if access is possible otherwise. No sign, asking people directly. Most foreigners were down but usually had full cars, a couple of Italians on their way to Vicenza dropped me off in Bologna.

Still works in 2025! When your coming from the fields there is a spot on the left side of the fence where can jump over really easily because of a small breakage.
There are only a few cars going to the gas station but the second person we approached gave us a lift directly to the city center in Florence.

you can reach this gas station from florence center by taking bus for the aeroporto. from here, you can take any ride that is entering the autostrada, and if they are not going your direction they can leave you at the first service area on the autostrada, from which it is probably more convenient to hitch.

Got a ride in a minute. Stand before the no autostop sign for a better effect :)

from Florence city center, try to catch a bus direction Prato! it stops 20m from the petrol station, must be way cheaper than the bus to the airport (6€!!!)
