Cars
Italy counts on an ample network of freeways, some have toll and others are for free. In most of the freeways are sold cards denominated Viacard that lower the price and make easier the payment of the toll. Italians drive in a quite chaotic way and the traffic norms are little respected, reason why it is necessary to be very alert. The speed limits usually are of 130 km/h in the freeways and 110 km/h in the state and provincial routes. Except by those of the freeways, the gas stations close on Sundays. In most of the cities, parking can be a nightmare, cause they have little space for it..
Rent: Usually expensive, it is generally necessary to be 21 years old and to be in possession of the driver's license with a year of antiquity like minimum. Usually, it must be paid with credit card. Aside from the card, it is necessary to take an Italian translation of the same one. This can be solicited in the state offices of tourism. International Green Card can also been useful.
