The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Florence are: Toyota Landcruiser, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tuscon, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Toyota Rav4 and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Italy ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Italy are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Visitors often notice one quite an interesting fact – the majority of cars in the streets of Italian cities are small, mostly with the engine of 800 - 1500 cu.. Explaining such a peculiarity is really simple – it is easier to navigate through narrow and winding roads in a small car. Even a sedan will look like something “alien” on Italian roads, not to mention a jeep.
Two-wheeled types of transport are very popular with local residents. Virtually every local resident has a scooter or at least a bike in his garage. The two-wheeled transport also makes up a significant part of traffic on local roads, and this fact also deserves a special attention from the side of motorists.
Maintaining a "big" car is difficult in Italy, partly because the prices on petrol remain high in the country. Purchasing a large amount of petrol for big cars is the prerogative of wealthy car owners only. However, among local residents there are very few people who want to spend large sums to refuel their cars.
