Driving a Car in Italy: The Dos, the Don'ts, and the Absolutely Nots

from Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast · host Darcy Melton | Nathaniel Mellor

In this episode we’ll tell you all you need to know about renting a car in Italy. "Do I need an international driver's permit? Should I rent a car for a wine tour? I can't drive manual, can I rent an automatic?" From personal experience and in-depth research we’ve got you covered from getting a permit, renting a car, road rules, and everything in-between. One thing we forgot to mention: "Which side of the road do they drive on in Italy?" in Italy, we drive on the right!
