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).

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.
