Q: What laws should I be aware of when driving in Tuscany?

Keep in mind that the driver's seat is located on the left side of the car, and people drive on the right side of the road. Respecting the speed limit is one of the most important rules to pay attention to, as there’s little tolerance for speeding. The speed limit can vary on dual carriageways and highways, and it's essential to pay attention to the limits posted on road signs to ensure you're complying with legislation. Another important rule to follow if you want to avoid a hefty fine is not to drive into the historic town centres' ZTL zones (Zona Traffico Limitato, or Restricted Traffic Zone); these are reserved for locals and authorised vehicles only. If your hotel is located inside a ZTL zone, you can arrange for special authorisation for your car hire with the hotel in advance.

Question 8

Is it worthwhile to book a rental car in Tuscany?

Accepted Answer

Public transport outside Tuscany's main cities like Florence, Siena, and Pisa can be somewhat limited. Choosing a car rental in Tuscany is therefore ideal for those who want to explore its countryside with efficiency and autonomy. Coaches tend to be more unreliable and less time-efficient and, although trains run frequently between major cities, you’ll miss out on all the hidden gems Tuscany has to offer.  Opting for a cheap car rental is also a cost-effective option, as you’ll save on transport between cities and to and from the airport. The biggest airport in the region, Florence-Peretola airport (FLR), is a popular point of departure to explore Tuscany with your car rental.

Question 9

What are the driving conditions like in Tuscany?

Accepted Answer

Driving in rural Tuscany is generally a smooth and pleasant experience, as most roads are well-maintained and in good conditions - not to mention the scenic background! However, to avoid getting lost, adding a GPS to your car rental is a must, as not all roads outside bigger cities are well-signposted. Mini compact cars are a popular choice when choosing a cheap car hire in Tuscany as they’re well adapted for narrow, one-lane country roads and urban streets. When driving in cities, it’s advisable to drive slower and pay extra attention to your surroundings, as Italian drivers can be impatient with traffic. Parking spaces in cities can be competitive, and locals can be creative with their parking choices, and it is recommended to park outside the centre and walk the short distance into town.
