It was a very competitive price and I hope they don't give me any hassle when it comes to delivery... I'll make sure to take pictures of the car for every square centimetre.

Easy access, information and procedures. The valuations of the rental companies can be improved because if you look for them you can see that they do not correspond to the reality.

What should I take into account when driving my car in Trento?
Getting around Trento and the Italian Alps by rental car will allow you to enjoy unique landscapes, but it is important to be prepared for certain aspects, especially if you are travelling in winter or in mountainous areas. Take note of these tips:
- Mountain roads: Many Alpine roads include hairpin bends and steep gradients. Drive calmly and stay alert at all times.
- Winter equipment: In the cold season, chains or winter tyres are mandatory in certain areas. Check with the pick-up office before setting off.
- ZTL Zones: As in many Italian cities, Trento has areas with restricted access to traffic. Check their location to avoid fines.
- Motorway tolls: If you're heading to Bolzano, Verona or other cities, plan routes with tolls and make sure you have cash or a card for payment.
- Regulated parking: In the centre of Trento there are paid car parks and blue zones. Use the authorised spaces for hassle-free parking.
With your Trento car rental and these tips in mind, touring northern Italy will be a safe and comfortable experience.
