Question
Rental car recommendations?
Answer
Rental Companies: Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and Sixt: These are some of the most reliable international car rental companies available at major airports and train stations in Italy. Local Options: Check for smaller local rental agencies in Chiusi or Montepulciano for potentially better rates and a more personalized experience. Booking Tips: Reserve your car in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, to ensure availability and secure the best rates. Consider opting for a compact or midsize vehicle, as Tuscan roads can be narrow, and parking spaces are often limited. Check if your rental includes insurance, or consider purchasing additional coverage for peace of mind. Driving Tips: Italy requires an International Driving Permit (IDP) for non-EU citizens. You can obtain one through your local automobile association, such as AAA or AATA in the United States, or equivalent organizations in your home country. Be sure to secure it before your trip, as it is mandatory for driving in Italy. Be prepared for toll roads (Autostrade). Have cash or a credit card ready for toll payments. Parking in Montepulciano: Public parking lots are available at the base of the town, as the historic center is largely pedestrianized. Look for signs indicating "Parcheggio".
