Verona Brescia Airport Car Hire
Brescia is a town in the north of Italy in the region of Lombardy between Milan and Verona. It's a great place to stay if you are touring round the region and visiting Lakes Garda and Iseo. The best way to get to these popular destinations and resorts off the tourist track is by hiring a car. This gives you the freedom and flexibility to come and go as you choose which is the drawback of using the bus or train.
If you pre-book your hire car it will ensure that you get the vehicle of your choice, and also by booking in advance you can normally secure a better deal.

One of the major issues with driving through Italy can be not being sure of the road signs and or aware of local customs, so take the time to read out tips below which should help your overall experience:
- Always remember to drive on the right hand side of the road in Italy and of course overtake on the left.
- Always give way to buses, emergency vehicles, trams or trains
- Headlights should be switched on and dipped when driving on motorways and dual carriageways - even during the day
- In developed areas, you must give way to traffic joining from the right, unless otherwise stated
- If you’re on a hill or mountainous road, the car travelling upwards has priority
- The drink driving limit in Italy is lower than in the UK and you are allowed 50mg per 100ml of blood.
- You must not use your mobile telephone while driving, unless you have a hands free kit.
- Seatbelts are obligatory and should be worn at all times in the front and back seats of your hire car.
- Children are not allowed to sit in the front of the car if they are under the age of 12 and you are likely to be fined if you are caught breaking this rule.
- The general speed limits are:
| Motorway Speeds (autostrade) | 130 km/h |
| Main Highways | 110 km/h |
| Trunk Roads (outside of towns and cities) | 90 km/h |
| Residential Roads | 50 km/h |
-
Any driver who has been driving for less than three years is not allowed to exceed 100 km/h on motorways or 90 km/h on main highways. This law is in place as an effort to prevent the high number of young driver accidents that occur in Italy every year.
