FAQs about car rental in Milan
Whether it's your first time or your tenth renting a car, you may still have questions about the process.

How old do I need to be to rent a car in Milan?
To rent a car in Milan, you must be at least 18 years old and have had your driving license for at least one year. Keep in mind that if you are under 26, a Young Driver Surcharge may apply, depending on the rental company. For comprehensive details and the full terms and conditions regarding young driver regulations, please click on the blue and white info icon (i) in the Auto Europe search results when performing a search on the booking engine. For further information about age restrictions for car rentals, please see our dedicated page.
Can I rent a car without a credit card in Milan?
No, to rent a car in Milan, a credit card is essential. Specifically, when you arrive at the rental desk to collect your vehicle, you must present a valid credit card in the name of the primary driver listed on your voucher, ensuring it has sufficient credit for the security deposit.
The requirement for a credit card at the time of pickup is to allow the rental company to place a hold on the security deposit. Without a credit card, the rental company may deny you the vehicle or ask for additional insurance payments. Note that credit cards from extra drivers or cash deposits are not accepted. While a few rental companies might allow a debit card, this is quite uncommon. The security deposit will be released from your card once you return the car in the same condition as when you received it.
For details regarding credit card holds and deposits during your booking, you can always check our booking engine by clicking on the blue (i) icon or refer to your voucher after completing your reservation.
What car rental insurance is included in Milan?
When you rent a car in Milan through the Auto Europe portal, all of our inclusive packages come with the mandatory insurance required by Italian law. This includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), third-party liability, and theft protection (TP). However, both the CDW and TP have a deductible, which is the amount the driver must cover in the event of damage or theft. These deductibles can differ by country and supplier, and in some cases, they can be quite substantial.
Some suppliers may allow you to use credit card rental insurance if you have it. If you have any questions regarding car rental insurance in Italy, feel free to reach out to our customer service at any time of the day.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in in Milan?
All American drivers must obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive or rent a vehicle in Milan. You can request an IDP at a local AAA office or conveniently order one online.
Can I drive a rental car inside the ZTL-Zone in Milan?
No, permission is required. By definition, ZTLs, or "limited traffic zones," are designated areas that restrict access to certain vehicles, such as buses and trams, as well as to residents, pedestrians, and specific groups. Their main goal is to decrease traffic congestion and improve air quality. Some ZTLs operate only during specific times or on certain days of the week. ZTLs are often indicated by a sign, but the most recognizable marker is a white frame featuring a white circle outlined in red, along with the phrases “Zona a traffico limitato” or “Z.T.L.” Be cautious, as there are cameras in place, and the fines expensive.
The map below illustrates the locations of Milan's ZTLs and indicates their active hours.
