RENTAL CAR TIPS 

RENTING A CAR IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! LAKE GARDA VILLAGES ARE SPREAD OUT, AND A CAR GIVES YOU FULL FREEDOM. MANUAL (STICK SHIFT) CARS ARE MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE!AUTOMATIC CARS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT:LIMITED SUPPLY AND OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVENEED TO BE BOOKED WELL IN ADVANCE.INTERNATIONAL DRIVER'S PERMIT IS NEEDED FOR US CITIZENS RENTING A CAR IN ITALY.ONE CAN BE OBTAINED VIA YOUR LOCAL AAA FOR A SMALL FEE. IF YOU CAN DRIVE STICK, CHOOSE MANUAL — IT’S THE "NORM" IN ITALY. 🙂 ROADS ARE GENERALLY GOOD, BUT:NARROW VILLAGE STREETS,STEEP HILLS IN SOME AREAS.TAKE IT SLOW AND ENJOY THE VIEWS.
