Renting and Driving a Car in Italy: Fines, Alcohol, Manual vs. Automatic, and more!

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

Picking up where we left off, this episodes delves a little more into the particulars: how much can you drink before you're over the legal limit, do you even have to pay a fine (speeding, driving, etc.) if you're never coming back to Italy, if you can rent an automatic, the relative sizes of vehicles, and damages. Basically, it's a kitchen sink of need-to-know.Italian road signs: https://italyexplained.com/driving-road-signs-italy/If you have any questions about your trip or if you have tips for fellow listeners, you can join our chat on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for free or contact us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠onlyabag.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
