Can I rent a car in Italy directly with my domestic driver's license and an English notarized document? I don't see any requirements for embassy authentication documents from the car rental company ?

Car rental companies have their own requirements, and you need to read them carefully.

Best to have embassy legalization. Recognized by the Italian government.

Car rental companies would love for you to rent their cars, but they can tell you clearly that you can get the car with these, but you have to be careful, never be caught by the police. Most Italian police are very serious, so you have to be careful. I'm afraid of this so I went to the Italian embassy to get an authentication, which costs less than 400 yuan. It's worth the peace of mind, and the fines aren't even enough to pay the change.

For buses that don't stop or announce the stations, how do you ensure you don't get off at the wrong stop? It seems that in Italy, buses don't announce the stations and only stop when someone needs to get on or off, and you have to press a red button to signal that you want to get off... The method of counting the stations and listening for announcements doesn't work, so do you rely on the driver to call out the stops? But what if you don't speak Italian and the bus is crowded? Looking out for landmarks? You need to have landmarks to look at, and it's hard to see them when it's dark or when the bus is crowded... So the only thing I can think of is to look at the GPS location on the map... Do you have any clever tricks for this ? Italy Q&A

Hello everyone, could you please tell me if you have rented a GPS when you went to the Dolomites and Amalfi? I find it hard to search for cable car stations, lakes, hiking starting points. Or should I download Google offline maps as soon as possible? I am now waiting for a connecting flight at an airport in Russia, and when I adjust the GPS, I find that many places cannot be searched. I'm also afraid that there will be no signal in the mountains and I can't use Google online maps ? Italy Q&A
