Good to know

  • To rent a car in Italy, you usually have to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles for an extra fee, so always check the policies before confirming your booking.

  • Travelling with kids? Child car seat laws vary by location, and the best setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Be sure to add the right one to your Terni car hire booking.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when collecting your rental car: a current driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Italy.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's usually around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways. Always check the posted signs.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Italy is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • Try 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.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay by card when you can, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't possible.

  • Italian is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.
