I just reserved a car rental for 2 weeks in Italy for September from Auto Europe. Based on some recent posts, thought I'd share some information. We normally use Auto Europe or Kemwel, depending on who has the best deals.
Great deal- Only $334 for Economy car (2 weeks), zero deductible for Collision and theft. Pickup/drop off in Stresa
First time seeing this question during reservation process. If you are driving outside of "X" countries, list here. Austria wasn't listed so added that to the box. When reservation was submitted, said an agent would review to confirm the added country was covered. Only took 5 minutes and then had my voucher from Auto Europe.
Reservation form- before submitting clearly said that there would be a hold of 190 Euros on the card as a deposit. Also clearly stated in Rental terms.
The email with the voucher received stated in RED:
IMPORTANT! - INTERNATIONAL DRIVING PERMIT NOW REQUIRED IN ITALY
Please note that driving laws have recently changed and an International Driving Permit (IDP) is now required in Italy.Other rental terms- 79.30 Administration fee in even of damage or theft (even with zero deductable)
Other rental terms- Traffic administration fee of 79.30 Euros in event of traffic fine.
Hope this is helpful.
