Good to know when renting in Italy

Can I hire a car without a credit card?

Yes, as well as credit cards, you are also able to pay for your car hire with all major debit cards in Italy.

Is it worth having your own hire car in Italy?

While Italy in general has a good rail coverage, it can be really valuable to have your own hire car. Especially when you want to explore more rural areas in Tuscany or Sicily, or heading to more mountainous regions. With your own hire car you are free to explore the country at your will.

At what age can I hire a car in Italy?

You need to be at least 18 years old and have held your licence for at least a year to hire a car in Italy. Once you've selected your branch in Italy you can filter the available car categories by age. All drivers under the age of 25 are required to pay a young driver surcharge.

Yes you are able to drive your hire car across the border in France as well as the majority of countries in Europe. Please use our rental information page for more detailed information about using your hire car outside of Italy.
