Car Rental Tip______________________________________________________________
Renting A Car in Italy. If you drive in urban areas at home, you can drive in Italy. Stick to well known rental companies. Rental prices are tricky - low prices can lead to add-ons . We have two articles to help:

More Info
Trenitalia (English) for train information. Trains might not show until a few weeks ahead, depending on the type of train and seasonal schedule changes. Use fake dates to see possibilities.
Autostrade Italia Plan your route, see traffic conditions & warnings, find tolls and rest stops.
IDP: International Driver's Permit Drivers from non-EU countries are required by Italian law to possess an IDP or an official translation along with their driver's license. Car rental companies MAY decline to rent if you don't have one. The IDP should be obtained only from a vendor authorized by your country's Department of State. Other websites offering to supply one are fraudulent! In the USA, the authorized entity is the AAA. In Canada, it's the CAA. In Australia, they are issued by the States: SmartTraveller.gov.au.
Maps. For driving around Italy, we recommend Touring Club Italiano (TCI) 1:200,000 paper maps, even if you will have a GPS or Smartphone App (or offline Google maps). It's more expensive (they're about $9. in Italy), but easier to buy the maps before you arrive, - here are Amazon links to some of the TCI maps. (See About Us & Disclosures below).
