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 Lacce, 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
Scratched bumpers and small dents are fairly common for local car owners. They have stopped caring about such insignificant facts a long time ago. As a rule, the tightest parking areas are located close to supermarkets and shopping centers.
The majority of parking lots, equipped with ticket machines, are free from 20:00 to 8:00. Finding a free space on them in the evening is also very difficult, so tourists are recommended to book a hotel, which is equipped with a private parking. In order to leave a car for a night at a multi-level parking lot, you will need to pay around 35 - 40 euro.
It should be noted that local drivers turn on the turn signal only if they are really going to turn. If you just need to move from one lane to another, turning on a turn signal is not necessary. It is simply not common here.
