Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

Before you return the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can make the process easier.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Bologna, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before leaving the rental lot, inspect the vehicle for any pre-existing damage and ensure it’s recorded. Taking photos can help avoid disputes upon return.

If you’re sharing driving duties, check the policies on additional drivers. Some companies charge extra fees, while others may allow it for free under certain conditions.

When selecting insurance, consider if it includes free excess coverage. This means you won’t have to pay a deductible in the event of damage, adding an extra layer of security.

Prior to booking, check for any current promotional offers or discounts. Many rental agencies provide seasonal deals or early booking discounts.
