If you haven’t had the chance to rent a car in Italy yet, you should be aware of a few details before you do so. First, even in Torino you can rent your car from different points in the city or from the airport. This means that you should plan your trip carefully and accordingly decide when it would be more convenient for you to pick up the car, since in the city itself it is not very recommended to drive in a private car. It’s a busy city and you’ll have a hard time finding parking, so it’s a good idea to take your car when you’re exploring the entire Piedmont region and the various towns around Torino. Secondly, you should pay attention to the fact that almost always the default car rental is a manual car, so if it doesn’t suit you, you must state it in the order.
