Good to know
Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Italy. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.
Travel plans include the kids? Car seat rules vary according to the location, and the correct setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Elmas car hire reservation.
You'll be asked for a few things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.
If you haven't driven before in Italy, keep in mind that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Italy is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.
