Good to know
You typically have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in Italy. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.
If you've got the kids in tow, find out if you need to add a child car seat to your Potenza car rental reservation. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.
You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.
If it's your first time driving in Italy, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph in urban areas and around 125kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Italy is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) for day-to-day spending throughout your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards for more flexibility when paying.
Italian is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
