UK driving licences continue to be valid in Italy. With other non-EU licences you must provide a passport and it's suggested you carry an International Driving Permit. If in Europe for more than 6 months then an EU licence is required.
In Italy to hire most cars the minimum age is 18 years old; you must simply hold a valid licence for at least a year and it induces a surcharge when under 25.
During the booking period, select a different drop-off location to check availability, it must be organized beforehand, or charges will apply.
We have chosen SIXT after reading the great reviews on the web for the Italy branch, and it is all 100% true.
I have never encountered in such an amazing service of a rental car manager such as Solomon in Bologna.
We got a great price for one week and a great car which Solomon took the time to understand our trip needs, he helped in every request.
The cars were clean, and with full gas.
When ever I will come to IT I will return to Solomon and SIXT.
As always, SIXT was amazing.. The young lady at the desk was particularly pleasant and gave us a free upgrade as well. SIXT is always my first choice.
Economici ed onesti.
I usually don't trust car rentals and try to avoid them at all costs. In Sardinia we had however no choice and tried Sixt. What a pleasant surprise, no one tried to upsell us anything, the car was amazing (got great upgrade for a brand new BMW), handing back the car took about 5 minutes and the whole experience was 1A.
Please keep up the great work!
Impressive Experience! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The vehicle model and condition was top notch!
All good! Thank U Sixt and Maria for experience!;))
Very friendly and quick service. It is helpful to find exactly where the parking garage is to pick up the rental vehicle from Sixt, before leaving the terminal, and when returning the vehicle. Otherwise, this is a good company to rent a vehicle from, and from a very busy airport here in Italy.
Good cars and service. Expensive though
The best car rental experience that we could have imagined!!!
Salvatore is outstanding. He was very considerate and empathetic to my situation in that I had unfortunately not arranged a rental car prior to arriving to Alghero. My accomodation was in Olbia so a cab would have cost approx 250-300 euros. He was amazing in being able to offer me the best car available for my budget.
He was also fantastic in taking the extra 5-10 mins to provide my wife and I with authentic recommendations to beaches, restaurants and places to visit whilst we were there.
Salvatore - you are a star! You have a guaranteed customer for life.

Personale cordiale e preparato
We had the most pleasant checkin experience at the airport! Valentine was so lovely!! We were helped quickly, gave very thorough instructions, and got the car in a very short period of time!
Our family members had used a different company and it took them three times as long! They also did not receive the car that they had requested. Thumbs up for Sixt!!!
After reading a lot of bad reviews on the internet I was concerned about hiring a car in Sicily, but fortunately for us we stopped at the sixt booth where we met Paola and everything went smooth from then on. We got a nice car, clean and in great condition. Such a great customer service and attention to details.
We had a great experience with Sixt at the Rome airport. The rental agent was extremely helpful and they had large vehicles available even offering an upgrade. This was the best experience we have had rentaing a vehicle in Italy. Sixt was much better than the large U.S. brands that we have used before.
Great service, best you can wish. never rent anything else !!!!
In general very good and kind and recomendable
The staff here made renting a car a pleasant and comfortable experience.
I had never heard of Sixt before so a bit nervous getting our car in Rome. But everyone was friendly and competent, the car worked out great and the drop off could not have been easier.
Verry frendly. Thanks to Alex and Dario
