The city has A1 and A14 freeways that connect the country's northern and southern regions. You can drive on these routes to enjoy short and long drives to other towns, such as Venice, which is under two hours away.

Generally, rush hour occurs in the morning and in the evening. Bologna car rentals ensure you can get a comfortable ride to complete your tasks while conveniently avoiding congestion. You can also obtain a passenger van rental to tour nearby cities when traveling in a group. For instance, you can enjoy a ride for about an hour to the Museo Enzo Ferrari in Modena or drive for almost two hours to the Piazza Duomo cathedral complex in Florence.

What laws should I keep in mind while driving in Bologna?

Bologna has a Restricted Traffic Zone labeled Zona Traffico Limitato (ZTL) in the city center, allowing car owners with a permit to access the area at certain times. This zone also features low emission regulation that requires you to have the needed emission standard, even if you have an economy car rental. It is advisable to check the regulations before your trip as they may change. You operate on the road's right side when in Bologna. It is essential to note that a right turn during a red light is always illegal in the city. Bologna follows the country's strict 0.05% blood alcohol limit when driving, limiting your drink to a single wine glass. You can check for additional information and any law changes at the town's department of motor vehicles.

Will I need a special driver's license or permit to drive a rental car in Bologna if I'm visiting from another country?

Rental cars in Bologna require you to bring an International Driving Permit (IDP), a driver's license and a passport with validity lasting the entire rental period. You also must present a credit card that most agencies utilize as collateral, with the name appearing on the card matching the one used to make the reservation. Car rentals in Bologna have a standard 21-year age requirement to rent and permit drivers with a license issued by any EU country to operate without an IDP.
