Signposts in Italy
Put on your sunglasses and pay attention to the segnali stradali as they show you the way in sunny Italy! Signs are indicated in Italian and sometimes in English.
Busy days on the roads in Italy
Italian roads can get busy during the summer months, especially in August when everyone embraces 'la dolce vita'. Try to catch the autostrade in the early hours to get ahead of the crowds.
Toll roads in Italy
Most motorways in Italy require you to pay tolls. You can do this in cash or by credit card. Dutch debit cards are not always accepted, so make sure you have cash with you if you don't have a credit card. It is also possible to pay the toll with a VIA card. This is a magnetic card that allows you to pay the toll at special toll booths. The VIA card can be bought at petrol stations and tobacco shops.
Filling up in Italy
At the 'benzinai', or petrol station, you will easily find 'benzina' for petrol and 'diesel'. The pumps are usually self-service, but sometimes there is friendly pump help.
Ferry in Italy
A ferry crossing is often only available on request. Check the specific conditions during the booking process to see if a ferry crossing is possible to the island of your choice.
Driving rules in Italy
Driving abroad is sometimes a little different from driving in the Netherlands. Read more about traffic rules in Italy and be well prepared.
Destinations in Italy
Definitely! Although a credit card is usually required, you can car rental in Italy without a credit card. This can be done in two ways: rent a car with cash deposit, or a rental car with the No Deposit service where we guarantee the deposit.

The minimum age to drive a rental car in Italy is usually 25, but this can vary by location and even by category. Read the rental conditions of the rental car you want to rent to see what the minimum age is.
The cost of car rental in Italy can vary a lot. It depends on supply and demand during the desired rental period. For the most accurate price information, we recommend filling in the rental period and destination on our website. That way, you can discover what the all-in rental price is for your car hire in Italy.
Italy, a country where every bend welcomes you with a new adventure. Drive past world-famous vineyards, historic cities and coastlines along the Mediterranean. A place where the car is the perfect buddy to discover all the most beautiful hidden spots at your own pace.
Italy's roads are of good quality, especially in the North. In the South, road quality declines.
Look out for road signs saying 'Zona traffico limitado'. This actually means that this area is an environmental zone where cars are not welcome unless the driver has a permit. Sometimes this sign only applies during certain hours/periods, in which case it will be mentioned. Do not ignore these signs, as there is a hefty fine.
For short trips to the supermercato or gelateria, the Small or Economy category is fine. Would you rather cover a lot of miles along the Tuscan vineyards or the Adriatic coast? Then some extra legroom won't hurt and we recommend a rental car from category Compact. If you plan to travel through mountainous areas with your rental car in Italy, a car from the Comfort category or higher is recommended due to its higher power.
For a dolce trip, the best time to visit Italy is between April and June and September to October. You'll avoid the summer crowds and still enjoy pleasant weather.
Dive into the rich flavours of Italy with a pasta carbonara or a crispy pizza margherita, fresh from the wood-fired oven. Finish your meal with a creamy gelato as you get ready for the next part of your Italian road trip
