  • Grab your wheels from Drivalia, Maggiore or Europcar. They're some of the most reliable providers in the city.

  • The coverage Drivalia or another company includes with your Lucca car hire can vary, so always read the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra fee.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Simply click 'Return car to a different location.' Providers sometimes have to move vehicles between locations, which means you can score some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Lucca.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Choosing excess insurance for your Lucca car hire can take the stress out of driving. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of a collision or theft. Insurance policies can differ between rental providers, so give them a quick comparison.

  • Make travel easier when you rent a car in Lucca by adding a few handy extras. Think things like a navigation system to be your go-everywhere guide, or reverse cameras that give you confidence when parking.

Good to know

  • The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Italy is typically 21 years old. However some providers set their own rules, so check your rental company's terms to see what applies to you.

  • Travelling with kids? Car seat rules vary according to the location, and the best setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Lucca car hire reservation.

  • You'll have to provide some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.

  • Driving in Italy may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stay on the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Italy is 0.05%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) on your trip here. Along with your bank cards, consider taking some cash for smaller purchases.

  • Italian is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
