Italy - a country of breathtaking beauty, rich in history, culture and spectacular landscapes. Many Israeli tourists prefer to travel in this amazing country by car, to enjoy the freedom of movement and the possibility to stop at picturesque places.

Many tourists "complain" that several months after returning from a trip to Italy fines start arriving. And a general amount of fines can also reach hundreds of euros. I also know of cases where families received more than 2000 euros in cumulative fines.

In this article I will try to make an overview of the fines that are common in Italy and tips that can help you avoid receiving fines on your trip.

Even before getting to the topic of fines - a common question - is it even worth taking a rental car in Italy?

Answer - if you are planning a trip that is not mainly urban - it is highly recommended to take a car!

We recommend contacting well-known and large companies (Sixt, Hertz, Europcar, etc.). Such companies, usually, provide a good level of service, guarantee the technical integrity of the vehicles and include many rental points. This is very important in case you encounter a technical problem with the vehicle during the trip.

What can you get fined for in Italy?

Even before mentioning the unique things of Italy, it is worth remembering that in Italy you can receive fines for "known" offenses. In general, traffic laws in Italy are very similar to traffic laws in Israel. Perhaps the first and most important advice for you is to drive in the safest way, as you do here. https://epoch.org.il/commercial/534153/
