Do I need an International Drivers Permit?

Yes, you need an International Driver's Permit if you are from outside the European Union and are planning to drive or rent a car in Italy. This document is a translation of your English language licence which you should also carry. Failure to provide this documentation may result in you being denied your booked rental car, risks fines of over 300 euros and will invalidate your insurance. You can order the International Driver's Permit from your local automobile association for a nominal fee.
