Italy Car Rental Guide
With so many things to do and see in Italy, renting a car will allow you to visit world-renowned attractions like the iconic Colosseum and beautiful Ponte Vecchio at your own pace. Renting a car is especially helpful if you're visiting a widespread, rural area like Tuscany, since public transit typically does not stop in these areas.

Top Driving Tips in Italy
When driving in Italy, there a few key things to remember:
- You cannot make a right turn on a red light, even if you have stopped and traffic is clear.
- In certain cities, street names are engraved on the sides of buildings rather than on road signs.
- When parking in a lot or on the street, most areas require you to pay for a ticket from a parking meter. Place it in a visible spot on your dashboard to avoid parking tickets.
- Be sure to ask a branch employee what type of fuel your vehicle requires. Diesel fuel is more common in Italy than it is in the US.
