Cars aren’t the most common form of transport around the village, so you’ll usually find the roads are very quiet, meaning drivability is good, and you won’t be at risk of encountering major traffic. Whilst most roads can comfortably fit two cars, some roads can only comfortably fit one, so make sure to drive with ease and caution. Drivers around Cinque Terre will find vehicles are right-side drive, meaning you must drive on the left-hand side of the road. You must always give way to the right on approach to roundabouts.

Italy is one of few European countries that have accessible car hire to young passengers. Commonly, providers who offer vehicles for hire will usually not serve those under the age of 21. However, there are selective companies that will have car hire options available to those as young as 18. These drivers will need to have held their licence for at least one year. In addition to this requirement, drivers under the age of 25 should expect to see an additional fee at the time of their booking, also known as a young driver’s sub charge fee. Alternatively, your car category type and specific vehicle choice are sometimes only accessible to passengers over the age of 25.
