From the northern snow-clad Alps to the Southern seas, Italy is a land made up of distinctive landscapes and colors. With a car rental in Italy, you can explore the many regions of this fascinating country. Driving is a great way to see the towns, cities and luscious countryside. You travel at your own pace, stop when you want to and explore the off- the-beaten path places. There are over 4,000 miles of highways throughout the country, making all regions of Italy easily accessible.

A place that seduces from the start, Italy has a legacy of beauty, food and culture that satiate the senses at every turn. Soak in the Italian dolce vita, drive down the coastal towns of the Riviera, visit the vineyards and olive groves of Tuscany or Umbria, stroll past beautiful fountains, absorb the impressive art, explore medieval hill towns, or taste the mouthwatering regional delicacies at local trattorias.

Start with Rome, the Eternal City. A marvelously unique city composed of diverse styles of art and life that surround you: Imperial Rome and Baroque Rome, sophisticated Rome and working-class Rome. After exploring Rome's magnificence, drive along Via Tiburtina to Tivoli to visit Hadrien's Villa, built in the early 2nd century, and the architectural masterpiece Villa d'Este with its fountains, a UNESCO world heritage site. Or, drive travel along the Ancient Appian Way to see the ancient Baths of Caracalla, the 'Road of the Lakes', and Colli Albani. Visit Castelgandolfo, Rocca di Papa, Grottaferrata, and stop in Frascati, home of the Italian white wine. This is just one example of the many surrounding city areas you can explore by car. After you've seen Rome, head down to Naples, Sicily, or the Puglia region, or up to Florence, Milan or the fabulous northern Lakes that border Switzerland. With a car rental in Italy, there are numerous itineraries you can plan throughout all of its regions.

It's no wonder so many romantic films are set in Italy. From the classic Roman Holiday, featuring glamour icon Audrey Hepburn to the modern allure of Under the Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane, Hollywood continues to be inspired by this land. And let's not forget all those celebrities who themselves retreat to the famed Lakes in the North of Italy and the positively breathtaking Amalfi Coast in the South. Italy's picturesque seaside villages, beautiful countryside, and fabulous cities are filled with so many great experiences to discover.
