Car Rental ItalyCar Rental ItalyItaly, to me, has never seemed the type of place people drive. With their cobblestone streets and the canals of Venice, the beauty of places like the Coliseum of Rome, the lasting legacy of St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican make the city of Italy in general seem more conducive to walking or, well, rowing a gondola. But people do rent cars in Italy, it’s happened once or twice and it can be a great way to get around to the less central regions of the country. Looking for discounts while in a foreign place is often difficult. However, it can be the butter on the bread of an already exciting trip; when people can save money and have fun, it makes the fun that much more sweet. Merchants, more often than not, particularly in heavily touristy areas, want to reap the maximum amount of tourist dollars from you. Even if you’re there on business, you’re verifiably a ‘non-resident;’ this is a status which can lead to your being taken advantage of, so you should be wary and on the lookout for the hiked up rental car trying to be pawned off on you. Most of the domestic car companies have offices in Italy. There are other local places you may use, but if this is your first trip out to the islands and you’re going without recommendation from anyone else, you may be better suited to use one of the bigger companies like National Rent a Car or Budget Car Rentals while staying in Italy. If you’re bent on getting the best deal on the cheapest rental car, you can use the internet for websites or weblogs that can help you check up on independent companies Driving around Italy can be somewhat problematic, at least as I see it, as you may want to get out of the car right where everyone else wants to get out of their cars, that is at many of those stops I listed above. An alternative to renting a car is having a car service drive you around; you can have them at your disposal for the day and this eliminates not only the nagging of having to park but also the danger of getting in an accident on Italy’s tough to navigate, narrow streets. If you are going to rent a car you should definitely familiarize yourself with the customs of the road as well as what the different signs, signals, and other road paraphernalia mean to you as a driver. You don’t want to go at renting a car in a foreign country without that knowledge.
