The individual contract period allowed will vary from company to company.

Hiring a Car in Bergamo

There are a few driving regulations you should be aware of if you are planning on hiring a car from Bergamo Airport.

In addition to your licence you should also carry all the car hire documentation with you in the car at all times as If you don’t and you are stopped while driving in Italy it could cause you undue delays and problems.
