Car Rental Italy
If you are one of the thousands that flock to Italy every
year in search of culture, a change in the pace of life and
a full experience of the beautiful country of Italy then a
car is an ideal way to get all this and more out of your stay.
Getting away from all the stress of transferring from the
airport to your hotel or apartment by way of coach, public
transport or cab. You get to avoid the extra stress put upon
you having just undergone your long journey, by the reps or
taxi drivers attempting to swindle money out of you, or unhelpful
staff on public transport. You instead get behind the wheel
of your own vehicle and drive away in comfort to the destination
of your stay.
· Make sure you have a valid driver's license. A UK
driver’s license will suffice in western European countries;
if you're planning to drive to Eastern Europe or elsewhere,
you may need to obtain an international driver's license before
you arrive.
· Determine where a bouts in Italy you wish to pick
up and drop off the car. For a fee, which varies widely depending
on the country, you can drop the car off at a different location
from where you picked it up; to our knowledge it is only a
small fee in Italy.
· Book the car, keeping in mind that European cars
are frequently fitted with manual gearboxes and not automatic.
Choose the model and engine size of the vehicle you wish to
hire along with the dates of your rental.
Our Tips:
Car rental in Italy is on par with most European destinations
in price, not as expensive as in Italy, Italy or Scandinavia.
Also remember that a value-added tax of 6 to 33 percent will
be added to the cost of the auto rental.
The majority of cars that you rent in Italy will be very
similar to models and makes in the UK, so there should not
be a shock when you get behind the wheel, accept for the fact
that the wheel will most probably be on the other side of
the car.
Things to be wary of:
Parking is often difficult in major cities, petrol prices
vary but will most defiantly be cheaper than in the UK.
Plan to spend an additional £5 to £15 per day
for complete insurance coverage.
Beware of companies taking advantage of travellers. Look
for damage before you take the car, and avoid signing anything
you don't understand.
