When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Italy vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Italy are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Bergamo, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
When traveling on the roads of Naples, drivers should be especially careful on parts of roads equipped with traffic lights. According to an unwritten rule, local drivers divide traffic lights into mandatory and the traffic lights installed solely for the “ornamental” purpose. It’s not a rare situation when a local driver keeps driving at the red light, even without slowing down.
Locals who move in the streets of the city on a two-wheeled transport also often make foreign drivers very nervous. Cyclists and moped riders can easily drive very close to cars moving on a one-lane road. The distance between the vehicles in this case can be hardly an inch.
Despite the fact that local drivers are quite temperamental and sometimes very impatient, there are no rude people on the roads of Italy. It is not common to shout out of the windows and express own displeasure in an aggressive form. Local drivers will surely not tolerate such a behavior from foreigners.
