In combination with your domestic driver's license, Italy requires that international drivers need to have an international driver's permit (IDP). While some rental car companies may permit you to drive your rental away from the lot with no IDP, we highly recommend you travel with one as it's required by law. For more information on which locations call for an IDP and ways to obtain one, go to our International Driver's Permit FAQ page.
As a direct consequence of insurance restrictions there could be limits on operating particular vehicles to alternate countries, but the vast majority of rental cars are often driven anywhere in Western Europe with virtually no constraints. Please check earlier to be certain your travel plans would be feasible with the vehicle you intend on renting. One way automobile rentals are generally authorized and available from the majority of rental car providers.
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex, as well as others offer rental car insurance coverage. Insurance policies will change by provider. Evaluate different offers to find out what sort of insurance coverage may be available for your rental vehicle.
The Italian island of Sicily is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it is yours to discover with the help of a Sicily rental car. Sicily was claimed by many over the years, including the Greeks, the Romans, multiple Germanic tribes, and the Arabs. Relics from societies past can be found throughout Sicily. Valle dei Templi, or Valley of the Temples, consists of the remains of seven Doric styled temples built in the 5th and 6th centuries. This popular attraction is easily accessible by rental car and afterward you'll want to drive to the province of Trapini; home to the beautifully preserved medieval town of Erice. This historic town makes its home high on the top of Mount Erice, where the ancient Cult of Venus once worshiped at her temple. Today Venus Castle rests atop the temple, and is one of two castles in Erice.
Of course Sicily isn't only known for its historic sites, it's also known for its lively, fun-loving island culture. Carnival is celebrated throughout Italy, but it's a common saying that nobody knows how to party like a Sicilian! Book your rental car in Sicily during February for a special treat: St. Agatha's Feast Day has been recognized as the second largest religious procession in the world! This two day feast pays tribute to St. Agatha, the patron saint of Catania, Sicily.
