The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Perugia are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Landcruiser, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Santa Fe, 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
Despite the fact that local drivers are considered to be quite aggressive and they often exceed the speed limit, they know the traffic regulations very well and have an extremely negative opinion on blatant violators. If a driver ignores the rules and drives in the extreme left lane, local drivers will surely "sit on his tail" and will dazzle the violator with distant lights until he gives up and returns to the right lane.
A large part crossroads have a circular movement. Therefore, timid and inexperienced drivers should prepare in advance to such maneuvers as entering and leaving the circle. Traffic at crossroads is very fast, and no one will clear out the road for beginners.
The brand of a car does not play any role in the organization of the traffic. All cars have the same rights on Italian roads. Drivers are also not recommended to change lanes very often, ride on the side of a road, and try to overtake cars in a rough way. Such a behavior is not accepted here and will surely cause a lot of frustration.
