To rent a car in Italy, you usually need the following documents: a valid driver's license (an international driving permit may be required if your license is not European), a passport or ID card, a credit card in the driver's name for payment and deposit. The minimum driver age is usually 21 years old, but some companies may set higher requirements, as well as an additional fee for younger drivers. The deposit amount depends on the car class and insurance coverage, but is usually between 300 and 1500 euros.
When renting a car, you will be offered various types of insurance. CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) covers damage to the car as a result of a collision. Theft insurance protects against loss of the vehicle. Pay attention to the amount of the deductible (excess) – this is the amount you will have to pay yourself in case of damage or theft. You can reduce the deductible by purchasing additional insurance, but this will increase the rental cost. Read the insurance terms carefully before signing the contract.
Italy has toll roads (autostrade). Payment is made at toll booths in cash or by credit card. Parking in cities can be difficult and expensive. Pay attention to road signs and parking rules. The speed limit on highways is usually 130 km/h, in built-up areas – 50 km/h. Be careful on the roads, especially in the historical centers of cities, where traffic can be chaotic.
