Why would you use car hire in Italy? Well, picture the scene: the sun has just risen over the mountains and the temperature is just kissing the mid-twenties - not bad for this time of day.

You feel the breeze brushing across your skin and cruise the winding road at a comfortable pace. Would you see the same sights, enjoy the same sensations getting between destinations on a train or bus - unlikely.

This is precisely why so many travellers through Italy prefer to use car hire. Budget can offer some excellent car rental deals online for those wishing to visit the historic city of Rome, the natural beauties of Lake Garda or wishing to cruise the roads that snake across miles of mountains.

Italy in your hire car

When driving in Italy there are certain considerations that must be made in order to comply with local regulations. In terms of speed limits expressways, dual carriageways and urban stretches carry a limit of 130 kph (81 mph), 110 kph (68 mph) and 90 kph (55 mph) respectively whilst in built areas drivers should not exceed 50 kph (30 mph). There are many toll roads in the country that can be paid for with cash or with a pre-pay Viacard. As always however, local signage should be heeded at all times so that road laws are not violated.
