We actually landed at Genova!!
I considered Massa Cinquale, Genova & Albenga. A hire car company less than 1km from Massa Cinquale wouldnt meet us at the aerodrome and wanted 50-60+ Euro a day for a "Clio". Albenga answered the phone and said "Email us when you want a car and to visit" - so I did but had no reply.... Genova replied the next day, sent me a price list (not easy to understand, but gave me a rough idea it would be 60-100 euros for 3 days, and I was able to hire a SIXT (Pot luck - Ha Ha!!) for 28Euro a day - we ended up with a Classic Fiat 500 open - what more could you ask for in Italy?
3-4 days was 92 Euros including mandatory handling - I still dont understand the bill, but I "think" the handling was ~70 and the landing/parking was ~22... Fuel was 2.30 Euros/Litre. They couldnt have been more friendly and helpful, the smaller GA apron didnt appear busy to me, though I understand they wanted me to "book ahead as it gets busy in the summer" from the friendly Email exchange.
Ill do a proper post in ATIS later. For us the "overall package" was value for money using Genova.
