No doubt you’ve heard that Italian drivers are crazy, so it might be that the last thing in the world you want to think about is renting a car in Italy and sharing the roads with them.
While it’s true that Italian drivers can be, shall we say, creative at times, sometimes the easiest way to get where you want to go – especially if your destinations are a little off the beaten path – is to rent your own set of wheels.

Tips
While some people will say otherwise, it’s a very good idea to get an International Driver’s License if you are considering renting a car in Italy.
Should you have any trouble with the Italian police, the International Driver’s License is at least translated into Italian so you don’t have to try to communicate by gestures.
Also be sure you find out from the rental agency if there are any particular laws in the region about what you need to have in the car at all times – things like a reflective vest or flares – the rental agency should provide them.
Most major international car rental agencies will have offices in Italy – usually at Italian airports and often in town as well. Please ask us for renting a car in Sorrento / Amalfi Coast.
Important note : Street parking can be tough to come by, especially in the city centre, but remember that there are often parking lots or parking garages just on the outskirts of the main downtown area (or outside the ring road). You can park there and then take public transport wherever you need to go.
SCOOTER RENTAL
Rent a scooter
If driving a car doesn’t sound like your cup of tea but you want something with a motor, you can always rent a scooter – they’re everywhere, and are a great way to get around, letting you live your vacation in Sorrento or Amalfi Coast freely.
The often narrow lanes of the Sorrento peninsula and terrific panoramic coastal roads along the Amalfi Coast are the perfect scenic way to have fun on your scooter.
