  • Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Italy.

  • Follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.
