Italy is a beautiful country – no doubt.
So, if you plan to go around Italy, you might as well rent a car and get help from Waze or other similar apps.

When we visited Italy, I knew that it would be more convenient and practical to hire a car and drive it ourselves rather than using public transportation.
We drove around Rome, went to Florence, Venice Lake Garda and Milan. And you know what’s cool? We had an unlimited mileage to use. If you look at it, that’s actually cost – efficient and it lessens your worry if you have exceeded your mileage cap!
The minimum charges for a day’s rental is equivalent to 24 hours. The excess will be charged at 1/6 of the daily rate. You also need to prepare the following documents before you can take the car on the road.
We used the services of Maggiore Italy. Some of you might say that there are more affordable car rental services available in Italy. While that is true, I would still encourage you to check out Maggiore. These are the reasons why.
