Requirements to Hire a Vehicle

To hire a car in Italy, you must meet the following standard requirements:

• Driving licence: It must be valid and have been held for at least one year. If your licence was issued outside the European Union, it is strongly recommended (and often mandatory) to present an International Driving Permit.
• Minimum age: Generally 21 years. Please note that drivers under 25 are usually subject to an additional “young driver” surcharge.
• Identification: A valid passport or national identity card (for EU citizens).
• Credit card: A physical credit card in the name of the main driver is required for the security deposit (most agencies do not accept debit cards or cash for this purpose).
