Good to know about car rental in Italy


Once you have landed in Italy and picked up your rental car from the designated office, we wish you a safe and delightful journey.

For those navigating Italy's roads for the first time, take a moment to get acquainted with the vehicle, understand Italy's traffic regulations, and plan your routes.

In Italy, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

The speed limits in Italy are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on secondary roads, and 130 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.

Be aware that local driving can be aggressive, and traffic rules might not always be strictly followed. Watch out for pedestrians, cyclists, and animals on the road, especially in rural areas.

When visiting historic city centers, it's recommended to park outside the restricted zones (ZTL) and explore by walking. Elsewhere, driving and parking is generally straightforward.

Fuel stations are readily available in the city and along major highways, but it's wise to monitor your fuel level when traveling to more remote areas of the country.

If you need help during your stay in Verona, Italy, please don't hesitate to contacts us. In case of emergencies, dial 112 for all emergency services.
