When you need to get around!
Rent a car for travel in the countryside, but walk or take a taxi while cities.. You must be 21 to rent an economy or subcompact car, and most rental companies make those under 23 pay by credit card. If you want a bigger car, you might have to show two credit cards. The expressways are free, but the highways are toll. Upon entering a toll highway, you are issued a ticket, which you return while paying upon exiting the highway. Take note that Uscita means EXIT in Italian. Parking spaces are often at a premium in crowded Italian cities. Fines for violations are high and strictly enforced. Towing is common. As a result, it is best to leave your car in a guarded parking area.
