Before getting into the car, take a moment to check that the vehicle is functioning properly and has no issues. You can check the oil and coolant levels and the tire pressure yourself (including the spare tire). An efficient car is synonymous with a safe journey.

We remind you that Italian motorways (A1, A11) require the payment of a toll.
