Requirements for Car Rentals in Italy

If you want to rent a car in Italy there are some requirements that you need to be aware of. One of them is how old you have to be to rent a car in Italy. All drivers must be at least 21 years old. Some car categories might even come with an age requirement of 25 years. And you will need to have a valid driver’s license and bring it along. Some rental companies will also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP) for non-European residents.

It is a good idea to check your insurance and consider buying extra coverage when you rent a car. The rental company can help you sort this out. When you pick up your rental car you must bring the same credit card e.g. a Visa card that you used for the booking and also the rental documents. Lastly, you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with Italian driving regulations, including speed limits, road signs and parking rules. That’s of course in your own interest to ensure a smooth and safe driving experience.


Types of rental cars

All travelers have different needs and addCar Rental is happy to help find your preferred car for your trip. If you consider yourself a budget-conscious traveler you will be happy to find a wide range of economy cars at affordable rates. These are typically small cars that can be a wise choice if you know that you will spend time exploring the old towns of Italy where the streets are narrow.

If you are a large group and/or you are planning a longer road trip you will probably like to have a more spacious car like an SUV. This would also be the case if you have smaller children and a lot of luggage. Don’t compromise on comfort. This also goes for the choice between manual and automatic transmission. Choose what you are used to and most comfortable with.

Can You Rent a Car in Italy with a US License?

It’s no problem to rent a car with a US driver’s license since. Italian law recognizes US driver's licenses, allowing tourists to use them for car rentals. While it's not always required by rental companies, having an IDP (International Driving Permit) can serve as an additional form of identification and may be useful in case of any interactions with law enforcement or if you need to communicate with local authorities.   


How Old to Rent a Car in Italy?

To rent a car in Italy, you typically need to be at least 21 years old. However, many rental companies may require drivers to be 25 years old to rent certain car categories or to avoid additional young driver surcharges. It's essential to check the specific age requirements and policies of the rental company you plan to use, as they can vary between providers. Additionally, some companies may impose upper age limits for renting, typically around 75 years old, though this can also vary.
