Car rental to visit Perugia - Fontana Maggiore and St Lawrence Cathedral in Piazza IV Novembre

Perugia is a city you look at from above. The capital of Umbria sits on a hill, with an old town gathered around a square that has barely changed in seven hundred years. You can get there by train, but the city is where the line stops: with a rental car, Perugia becomes your base for Assisi, Lake Trasimeno, Orvieto and the whole of central Umbria, on your own schedule.

This guide covers what to see in a day, how to deal with the limited traffic zone, and a practical itinerary starting from our offices in Chiusi, Città della Pieve and Montepulciano.

Vehicle loaded with boxes for a city move - Revirent24 van rental

Renting a van for your move is almost always the simplest and cheapest way to shift furniture, boxes and appliances without making dozens of trips in your car. The real question is rarely where to find a van: it's which size you actually need, how much it costs and how to organise the day so you don't waste time (and money).

This practical guide covers everything you need to choose wisely: the van categories and how many cubic metres they carry, the factors that set the price, what your driving licence lets you drive, and a checklist for a stress-free move. With Revirent24 you can also rent without a credit card — a real advantage when you only need the van for a day or two.

Whether you're clearing a studio flat or moving a family home, it all comes down to one thing: how big does the van need to be, and what will it cost? Let's start there.

Car key handover for rental - Revirent24 requirements

Thinking about renting a car but not sure where to start? The first question almost everyone asks is always the same: what documents do I need and how old do I have to be? In this guide, updated for 2026, we explain clearly the documents, minimum age and requirements to rent a car in Italy, so you get to pick-up with no surprises and everything in order. And we'll share an advantage that, with Revirent24, changes the game: you can rent even without a credit card.

Car rental requirements infographic: driving licence, ID, age, deposit

What documents do you need to rent a car

When you pick up the car, the main driver must present just a few documents, but it is essential that they are all valid and current. Here is the basic list you will need almost everywhere:

A valid driving licence, not expired and not suspended, suitable for the category of the vehicle you want to rent (for a car this is a category B licence).
An identity document that is currently valid: ID card or passport.
The driver's tax code (often required to draw up the contract).
A payment method in the main driver's name: a credit card or, with Revirent24, also credit-card-free options.

Our advice is simple: check the expiry date of your licence and ID a few days before pick-up. An expired document is the most common reason a rental cannot go ahead.

Minimum age to rent a car: how old you need to be

There is no single age that applies to everyone: the minimum age to rent a car varies depending on the rental company and the vehicle category. In Italy, across the market, it generally ranges from a minimum of 18-19 years up to 21 or 25 years for higher-category cars. In many cases, a small surcharge (the so-called "young driver" fee) applies to younger drivers.

The practical rule to remember is this: the younger the driver and the more powerful the vehicle, the higher the requirements. That is why, before booking, it is always worth checking the exact conditions with your chosen company.

New and young drivers

If you have only recently got your licence, keep in mind that beyond age, licence seniority also matters: many companies require the licence to have been issued at least 1 or 2 years earlier. Newly licensed drivers must also respect the limits set by the Italian Highway Code on the power of vehicles they may drive during the initial period. With Revirent24 we help you identify the car that best fits your profile, without wasting your time.

The driving licence: validity and seniority

The licence is the most important document of the entire rental. It must be:

Currently valid (not expired, not suspended and not withdrawn);
Of the right category for the vehicle: a car requires a category B licence;
With the required seniority requested by the rental company, where applicable.

If you hold a licence issued abroad, the situation depends on the country of issue: European Union licences are generally valid in Italy, while some non-EU licences may require an International Driving Permit together with the original licence. When in doubt, contact us before booking: we will check your situation together.

Do you need a credit card? With Revirent24 you can rent without one

This is the point that stops most people. Most car rental companies require a credit card in the driver's name for the security deposit. Those who do not have a credit card, but only a debit card, often find their hands tied.

With Revirent24 this problem does not exist: we offer credit-card-free rental options, designed precisely for those who do not want to (or cannot) tie up a credit card. It is one of the reasons why so many people in the area choose us: fewer constraints, more freedom to get moving.

Deposit and security hold: how they work

The security deposit is an amount held as a guarantee on the vehicle and returned at the end of the rental, provided the car is returned in the agreed condition. The amount depends on the car category and the option chosen. When you pick up the car we clearly explain how much is held, and how and when it is returned: no surprises, no hidden clauses.
