  The pick-up/drop-off locations provided by each car rental supplier are clearly stated on the vehicle details page on trip.com. If you have already completed the car rental booking process, you can refer to your proof of rental agreement. This proof provides all rental details such as pick-up/drop-off locations, the car rental supplier's contact number, and insurance information.

• How old do I need to be to rent a car in Italy?

  Car rental suppliers in Italy typically only rent cars to customers aged 18 and over. Some suppliers may charge an additional fee for younger drivers (for example, those aged 25 and under). For detailed age requirements, please refer to the rental supplier's terms and conditions.

• What documents and information do I need to provide to rent a car in Italy?

  Depending on the rental supplier and the country or region you're visiting, the car rental supplier may require certain documents (such as a valid driver’s license, passport, credit card, and other documents with your name and address) along with a printed booking voucher. We recommend checking with your rental supplier and the local embassy or consulate (or their websites) of your destination country/region before booking. Please remember that all travelers are responsible for preparing the correct documents before departure. Important notice: All additional driver and equipment fees must be paid at the time of pickup. Please ensure your credit card can cover these fees. If you cannot provide a valid credit card, if your credit limit is insufficient, or if the card is not in the main driver’s name, the staff may refuse to let you pick up the car, and no refund will be provided. If this is the case, you may not receive a refund.
