I'm sorry can't help you with car hire as we took the trains last year for our 8 days in Italy. But 2 things to consider.

1. Did you go to trenitalia.com? If so did you notice the Super Economy fares? We took the high speed train from Rome to Florence last year at a cost of 19 Euros each. I just did a quick search for a day in early June and see that is still the one way fare between Rome and Florence.
2. You might be able to find a limo type service that could take your family of 4 back and forth. I don't know what the cost would be but that certainly could be an option.
3. Buses might be your best option. Again, I personally don't have any experience, but I'm sure you will soon get some answers and possibly pricing on this option.

If you are considering renting a car but don't have an international drivers license you should get one because many places might not rent you a car. If you are in the US you can get one from the local AAA for about 10 dollars and I think it is good for a year.
