Available payment methods

For seamless payment of your booking, we accept a range of credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, and American Express. Important Notice: When collecting your hired car, please be prepared to present a credit card as debit cards may not be accepted for such transactions. It's always best to consult the 'Payment Methods' section for detailed instructions well before your pick-up date.

Deposit and credit card information

Occasionally, a rental provider may specify that a credit card is necessary to secure a booking. If you find yourself without one, a quick check of your debit card at www.bindb.com could provide a solution. Intriguingly, some debit cards are cloaked as credit cards with a nominal limit, essentially allowing them to be used where credit cards are requested. Verify if your card has such features, as it could very well be your ticket to fulfilling the provider's requirements.

Cover terms and conditions. Size of the franchise. Security deposit

When renting a car in Italy, understanding car rental insurance and security deposits is crucial for a smooth experience. Italy's picturesque roads are enticing, but ensuring you're adequately covered can prevent unexpected inconveniences.

Car Rental Insurance: It typically covers damage, theft, and third-party liability. However, it's important to read the fine print, as some policies may have exemptions, such as damage to tires or the undercarriage. Consider additional coverage like Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) for extra peace of mind.

Security Deposit: When you pick up your rental car, the agency will usually require a security deposit. This can range significantly based on the vehicle type and rental duration. The deposit is typically held on your credit card and released once the car is returned without damage.

Speed limits

When driving in Italy, adhering to the posted speed limits is crucial for safety and compliance with local laws. Speed limits in Italy are measured in kilometers per hour (km/h) and vary depending on the road type.

However, during adverse weather conditions, the speed limit on motorways is reduced to 110 km/h, and on main roads to 90 km/h. It's important to note, fines for speeding can be hefty and increase significantly the faster you go over the limit. Additionally, for new drivers (those who have had their license for less than three years), there is a lower maximum speed of 100 km/h on motorways and 90 km/h on main roads. Always stay alert for road signs indicating speed limits, as they can change due to construction or other factors.

Be careful on the road. Fines in Italy are quite high.

Understanding Traffic Violation Fines in Italy

Italy is known for its rich history, beautiful landscapes, and strict traffic regulations. Traffic violation fines can vary significantly, depending on the nature and severity of the offense. Speeding, illegal parking, and driving under the influence (DUI) are among the most common violations that can result in hefty fines.

It's important for drivers to adhere to Italian traffic laws to not only avoid fines but to ensure the safety of all road users. Remember, penalties can double if offenses are committed in urban areas during night hours.
