Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Italy car reservation?
Good news! You should get a total refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of the collection time. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings result in a refund though, so it’s a good idea to scan the car’s cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Italy?
The majority of visitors choose to rent economy cars in Italy. Motorists love them because they’re easy on the budget. Plus, their smaller size makes them well-suited to navigating cities, where streets are crowded and parking can be a challenge. But economy isn’t your only option. SUVs, full-size cars and compacts can be booked too. Whether you’re sticking around Italy or headed beyond, we’ll have a ride that suits your needs.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Italy with Expedia?
Check customer ratings and reviews, choose your preferred car class and compare offers from top suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Italy car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even more in your wallet.
What do you need to rent a car in Italy?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Italy?
Expedia makes it easy to book an affordable long-term rental in Italy. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and browse your options.
Where can I find an Italy car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Italy rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It’s better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
