Italy car hire FAQ

What do I need to drive a hire car in Italy?

UK driving licences continue to be valid in Italy. With other non-EU licences you must provide a passport and it's suggested you carry an International Driving Permit. If in Europe for more than 6 months then an EU licence is required.

Can I book a one-way car hire?

One-way car hire bookings are possible in Italy. Simply select your pick-up branch and then a different return branch in Italy to check availability. One-way bookings are perfect if you are flying in and out of different airports in Italy.

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.

Can I drive my hire car outside of 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?

Best places to visit in Italy

  • Florence: The charming capital of Tuscany captivates visitors with its picturesque and historical architecture, with important landmarks like the Duomo di Firenze and Ponte Vecchio. Discover more of Tuscany’s gastronomy at the Mercato Centrale. Art lovers should not miss the opportunity to visit the Accademia gallery, home to Michelangelo’s David. 
  • Bologna: Italy wouldn’t be the same without its impressive architecture, and Bologna doesn’t disappoint, with the imponent leaning Towers of Bologna and Piazza Maggiore at the heart of the city. Less touristy than Rome and Venice, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region is the perfect destination to discover Italy without the crowds. 
  • Verona: The city that inspired William Shakespeare’s famous play offers lovebirds everywhere the opportunity to fall in love with its picturesque streets. Visit Piazza Bra, the main square in the city, and explore the historical centre easily, with monuments like the Verona Arena and Juliette’s House only a few minutes away. 

Winter in Italy 

Take advantage of the fewer crowds and mild climate to discover some of Italy’s main attractions, like the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican City in Rome.
