Practical Tips

ZTL fines are sent by mail through the rental company months later. Make sure rental staff register your license plate for any temporary permit.
Vehicle interiors can reach 35 °C | 95 °F in summer. Use windshield sun shades and park in shade when possible.
Winter fog can reduce visibility to less than 100 m on the Po Valley plains. Turn on fog lights and drive slowly.
Tap water is safe to drink. Water fountains marked "Acqua Potabile" are common in parks.
Emergency number for Italy is 112 for police, medical and fire services.
Many shops close on Sunday and during midday hours, so buy food supplies before heading into the Apennine hills.
