When choosing to rent a car at Bergamo Airport, you can take your time between destinations, without worrying about timing or local transport hiccups.
Before renting
- Download the app: Using the SIXT app makes choosing a car and the rental process much simpler. Make sure you have a valid EU driving licence or an International Driving Permit before trying to rent.
During rental
- Strict ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) restrictions: In Bergamo, the picturesque Città Alta (Upper Town) has very stringent ZTL rules. Access is heavily restricted, especially on weekends, public holidays and in the evenings. Tourists generally cannot drive into the ZTLs without a special permit.
- Motorway tolls and payment systems (autostrade): Italy's motorways (autostrade), indicated by green signs, are almost all toll roads. Be prepared to pay by cash or credit/debit card at toll booths.
- Mandatory regulations: Firstly, you must have an EU driving licence, or an International Driving Permit along with your non-EU licence, to drive a rental car. Your rental car should include a reflective warning triangle and a reflective vest.
After rental
- Re-fuel: Make sure to return your rental car with the same level of fuel you had when you received it.
- Drop-off area: Return your vehicle to the agreed drop-off area.
