Please note, that in order to rent in Italy a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Sorrento.
Before leaving the parking garage in Sorrento, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

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.

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.
