Good to know
Generally, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in Italy. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.
If the kids are tagging along, check if you should add a child car seat to your Bergamo car hire reservation. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.
You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Driving in Italy may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Italy is 0.05%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother trip. 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 general expenses and excursions. Use cards when you can, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't possible.
Italian is the language you'll hear most often in this country.
