Italy Mini Guide

Italy, or the Italian republic to give its full name, also extends onto Sicily and Sardinia, the two largest islands to be found in the Mediterranean Sea. Italy borders with Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland and France and has two completely independent states by the name of, Vatican City and San Marino.

Italy continues to be a favourite European tourist destination, with the majority of tourists choosing to visit the southern coast and the two islands of Sicily and Sardinia. The larger cities including Milan and Turin are also very popular city break destinations.

Sardinia

Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, covers an area of approximately 24,000 square miles. It is a hilly island with several large coastal plains and unveils a Mediterranean climate year round. Popular with tourists looking for a beach holiday, Sardinia continues to be one of the best summer sun destinations in the world. However, Sardinia is not just about sun and sand, and it is home to eight regional parks, each one making a great choice of location to spend a day away from the beach.

Minimum Age Requirements for Car Hire in Italy

In Italy the law requires you to to be 18 years or older to hire a car. It is worth noting that if you are aged 18-25 a young driver surcharge will usually be added. These charges will vary depending on the car hire company and the type of vehicle you are looking to have. The minimum age of the driver and the surcharge can vary greatly so it is always worth checking this carefully at the time of booking. Our customer service team will be happy to provide you with additional information on this.
