• Should I hire a car in Italy?

  Hiring a car in Italy allows you to explore at your own pace, making it an attractive option if you love flexibility. You’ll be able to visit more places, including well-known attractions like the Amalfi Coast. And if you want to get off the beaten track a little and explore the Tuscan countryside and Italy’s charming small towns, a hire car will be your best and most convenient option. Cities like Rome, Florence and Venice are well-connected by public transport, but a car will give you easy access to spots like Villa d'Este and Pisa, allowing you to avoid peak times and explore at your leisure.

• What is driving like in Italy?

  Driving in Italy can be a unique experience due to the country's diverse road conditions and driving culture. Generally, Italians are known for their confident and assertive driving style. However, the driving culture can vary, with fast-paced traffic on the Autostrada (toll highways) and more relaxed driving in rural areas. Italy has strict speed limits, which are enforced by control systems like Tutor and Autovelox. Toll roads are common, especially on the Autostrada. The quality of roads tends to be better in the north than in the south. And throughout the country, you’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road.

Additionally, you may be subject to additional fees if you’re under 25 or over 70. Non-EU citizens are required to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with their valid driver’s licence.
