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
Even if you increase speed on those parts of roads that are not equipped with cameras, your violation is not likely to be unnoticed. The majority of roads are equipped with Tutor radars that fix the time, during which cars move from one camera to another. Therefore, calculating their average speed is not difficult.
Foreign visitors should keep in mind that quite often the location of signs is quite unusual on local roads. In many areas they are not installed parallel to the road, but at an angle or even perpendicular to it. Despite this fact drivers should keep moving straight ahead.
Do not forget to move carefully on unfamiliar roads. If you pass a turn accidentally, turning back can be very difficult. Many narrow streets simply have no space for a turn, and many roads have only one-way traffic.
