Italy: car rental without deposit and credit card [GUIDE]

Alberobello, Italy

Car rental in Italy

You can go on holiday to Italy throughout your life. There is always something to explore here and there is always something new to see. I can't imagine sitting in one place in Italy. This country has so many beautiful and often untouched places that you can just drive ahead without any plan and you will always find something extraordinary.




You can't always go to Italy by car, and sometimes it's just not profitable. There are a huge number of car rental companies in Italy, and rental prices (especially out of season) are really attractive.
I recommend checking car rental prices in Italy before you decide to travel long distances in your own car. Air + car rental will probably be a much faster, cheaper and more convenient option.

Material liability, insurance, own contribution, deposits and deposits

When the rental company hands over the car to you, you are also responsible for its condition for the duration of the rental. It's clear!
What is the scope of this responsibility? It's not so clear anymore!

Financial responsibility is mandatory, but can it be significantly reduced? Or maybe you can throw it away completely?
It's possible, but you have to see how!
You can find more about getting rid of financial responsibility for a rented car in the entry: Car rental insurance and reduction of financial liability - [click]

Additional charges and their reasons

Additional fees incurred when renting a car (especially those charged after the car is returned) are often a source of frustration for many rental customers. They can be prevented, but first you need to know where such fees come from and what may be their cause. I gathered situations I knew together in one text and described them. It's really worth reading this post!

I make the content I create available free of charge with copyright, and the blog survives from advertising and affiliate cooperation. So, automatic ads will be displayed in the content of the articles, and some links are affiliate links. This has no effect on the final price of the service or product, but I may earn a commission for displaying ads or following certain links. I only recommend services and products that I find good and helpful. Since the beginning of the blog's existence, I have not published any sponsored article.

Some of the readers who found the information here very helpful, sometimes ask me how you can support the blog? I do not run fundraisers or support programs (type: patronite, zrzutka or "buy coffee"). The best way is to use links. It costs you nothing, and support for the blog is self-generating.

Pozdrawiam
