Good to know

Kids coming with you? Car seat requirements vary from one place to another, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Be sure to add the right one to your Pavia car rental booking.

Get familiar with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Italy.
Follow the local speed limits. Most of the time 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.
