  • If the kids are coming with you, check if you should add a car seat to your Imperia car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.

  • You'll need some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • If it's your first time driving in Italy, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • In Italy, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you think you'll be drinking, hand the keys to someone else or find an alternative way to get around.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, consider taking some cash for smaller purchases.
