Need advice on renting a car vs relying on trains/ubers for trip starting in Milan

I apologize if this question has been raised but we're looking at trip to Milan, Lake Como, Cinque Terre and Venice from June 11 to June 22. We've rented cars in France, Scotland and Ireland, and so have some experience driving in Europe.

We're weighing whether to rent a car in Milan for the whole time or just relying primarily on the trains and then walking, public transportation and/or Ubers in our destinations. Not having a car seems less stressful, but obviously could be limiting. If we want visit someplace outside of Venice or Milan that wasn't easily accessible by train we were also wondering if it would be easy/fast to rent a car for a day.

In any case, any thoughts on the pros/cons of renting a car vs. not for this itinerary would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
