  • Browse the offers available with U-Save, Noleggiare and Sicily by Car. They're some of the top providers in the city.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Rimini car hire policy, whether you go with U-Save or another supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Booking one-way could land you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be relocated. Just select 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Rimini.

  • Save money on fuel by choosing a vehicle that has a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Rimini by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a navigation system to keep you headed the right way, or reverse cameras that'll help you park like a pro.

Good to know

  • The minimum age to rent a car in Italy is typically 21 years old. However some providers make their own rules, so always read your rental company's terms to make sure you meet the requirements.

  • Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat laws vary from one place to another, and the best setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Find out if you need to add one to your Rimini car hire booking.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up as quick as possible. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no copies) and a second photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If anything else is expected, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Italy may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.

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

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Italy is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

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

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) for everything you buy on your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cards and cash to make sure you're always covered.

  • Italian is the language that most people speak in this country.
