  • Sicily by Car, Drivalia and Maggiore are some of the top-ranked providers in the city. Use them as a starting point to compare offers.

  • The coverage Sicily by Car or another supplier includes with your Ancona car hire can vary, so always go over the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will apply a surcharge for it.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can snag some awesome one-way prices on a car for rent in Ancona.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.

  • Medium: Not too big, not too small, this is the Goldilocks of rentals! Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they strike a balance of interior space and fuel efficiency and are popular with couples and small families.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers the cost you'd have to pay if your Ancona car hire is stolen or damaged. While not compulsory, it's worth considering for extra protection. Just remember that insurance policies vary between providers, so make sure you know exactly what's offered.

  • Upgrade your ride with extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera. They can make your drive smoother and more enjoyable when you rent a car in Ancona.

Good to know

  • To rent a car in Italy, you usually have to be at least 21 years old. Some places may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles at an extra cost, so always check the policies before securing your ride.

  • If you're going away with the kids, find out if you need to add a child car seat to your Ancona car hire reservation. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.

  • You'll need to show some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.

  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in Italy.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's usually around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways. Always follow the posted signs.

  • In Italy, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to drink, leave the driving to someone else or find an alternative way to get around.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't accepted.

  • Italian is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
