Also, don't buy the car hire company's extra insurance, buy it before you go. It costs around £13 for a week or around £45 for an annual policy.

Hi Stefano, my friend and I are off to Sicily on Friday, so this was a very helpful video - thank you. But , as others have mentioned below a UK drivers licence IS valid in Italy and therefore all insurance will be too. Perhaps you could update your video to reflect this fact ? I researched this thoroughly whilst planning our trip, so your video completely freaked me ( as I am sure it did others) when you said that our licenses were not valid....x

Great video. I love exploring the small Greek islands.

This is one of the most informative sharing about Tuscany that I ever viewed. Thanks and much, Stefano. appreciated.

Brilliant

Stefano: what is the best website to track the weather for Etna? Grazie

Rent a car be robbed in signing the paper that is pura vida. C.R.' sGovernment totally indifferent to that decades old scandal. Pura vida.

Thank you. I’m choosing between summit trekking to 3350m and 3000m from the other side. The tour organizer says the scenery is quite different which makes it difficult to decide

Pro tips for driving in Sicily. 1. Never put your phone down. And remember, texting while driving is a skill that needs to be practiced. 2. Drive as fast and reckless as possible. When you see pedestrians or bicyclists on the road, don't slow down. Try to see how dangerously close you can get without hitting them. Especially at crosswalks. The same rule applies to driving near motorcyclists on the autostrada. 3. When entering a roadway or intersection, never look in the direction of the oncoming traffic. Only look in the direction that you want to drive. If there's traffic, block the oncoming cars and wait until there is an opening in the lane you need. And of course, never use your indicators. 4. Ignore all speed limits and stop signs. When at a traffic light, honk your horn as soon as the light turns green. Don't be shy, horns are made for honking. 5. Parking. Make sure that when double parking you block as much traffic as possible. 6. If the car or motorcyclist in front of you is not going as fast as you want, be sure to tailgate at least a half meter from their bumper. Don't forget to dangerously pass whenever possible, even on blind corners.

Thank you! Very useful video!

Michael Mosley sadly brought me here. Thanks for the video Stefano.

Be aware that the car rental company „Sicily by car“ is a scam. They will find a way to make you pay.

Stay away from the car rental company „Sicily by car“. This is a criminal organization that will find a way to rip you off.

Thank you for information. Great video 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Is it necessary to reserve a guide in advance for this hike or can I just show up? Grazie

thank you

Thank you !

San Vito Lo Capo was littered with rubbish. Trapani is totally missable if it wasn't for the must-see village of Erice - one if my most loved experiences in Scicily. You do get used to the rubbish in Scicily, and the grafitti, but not on a beach. I find that pretty gross. But Scicily is so awesome.

I cant find the link what is the rental car site he used

Hi Stefano, We planned to travel Italy in December. We have a group of 6 people. Rent a car will be travelling outskirts and seeking your advice the type of car with 4 mid size luggage?

Excellent service!

loved this video!! i’ll be going alone next time (22, female) and i really want to be among people, surrounded by restaurants, stores, coffee shops, malls, bars, etc, so south beach definitely sounds like the perfect spot for me. i was just wondering if you had any idea if there’s any more northern soflo places anywhere from fort lauderdale (will most likely be my airport) to west palm beach that share that south beach vibe (obviously not to miami extent - lol). i have old friends to see in wpb and it’d be a hassle to drive up and down (for either them or me 😂) constantly, but i want to meet new people and not stay somewhere super quiet like last year (boca raton!) so it seems i’ve got to make that sacrifice. thanks!

how about gray color? it just doesn't work.

Super helpful!!! Thank you!

Thank you so much. Amazing video. I visit next month.

Hi

How do you get from the bus stop in Taormina into town?

We are getting off a cruise in civitivecchia and wanting to hire a car to go to the Val d’orcia region. Where should we hire a a car from? The port? Florence? Rome? I want to avoid big city traffic pick up experience One way as we are headed to Varenna in lake Como after our 5 days driving tour. Thanks in advance! 😊

Very useful information, really appreciate you to create such a great video 🙏🏼

Stefano, wife and I are looking for a place to stay between our time in Florence and Rome as we close out our three week trip to Italy. Looking at Arezzo. Would love to know why you mention as a romantic destination. Love your videos.

This isn't free version of darktable

Appreciated the video! I'm going to spend my summer holiday in Malta and I'll rent a car. Any suggestion for a good rent agency?

Thank you for an informative video! Your camera work is great!

Nice video😊Do they make problems when you fly a drone there?

I’ve been looking at staying in the Brera district while we’re visiting but we’re not sure how quick or how we can get to the cadorna train station early. We have to be at airport for departure by 6:30 am?

Is there a minimal age for renting a car?

Rented a Fiat 500 last year everything went smooth. Will be there next month again for another island road trip

video good, info good . your choice of music the singing is shit.

Indeed Gary. We need to catch up!!

Back in Melbourne!!

I believe Anafi is boring

Thank you for the amazing drone footage and rental car information! It's beneficial. I plan to rent a car in Sicily in June. You capture breathtaking landscapes with your drone, but what procedures must I follow to use a drone in Italy? Or is it not necessary?

NIce to share your experience, those pictures from the castle and information. I´ll be there soon

Beautiful video. You have a great personality

this car rental advice is terrible. please read the comments on their google maps review. it's scandalous!!! maps.app.goo.gl/CLF4w7m6pAWDFryd6

Thanks for the explanation

Very useful, thanks!

Hi Stef, Great advise on where to stay in Hanoi, Your last location you did not say where it was ????. You walked down beside some Cathedral but you did not say what area you were in ???. Max. Australia.

This was my experience at the car rental companies in Fiumicino airport. Beware and be careful. Do not hand over any personal information to any agent until you agree upon a price. The price from your reservation will mean nothing. It's a high pressure game to get you to agree to the most insurance and inflated charges you will accept. They may just go ahead and charge your card regardless of you renting from them....unbelievably. Budget went ahead and charged my card.... (WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION AND KNOWLEDGE!) over $ 900.00. This charge was placed on my credit card after I refused to rent from Budget for not honoring the quote from Orbitz for just under $400.00. After several minutes of arguing with the counter agent, I was handed over to a "manager", same bull. I said no and left. The charge for more than $900.00 was pending for 7 days. Then removed. I went over to Hertz. I had another reservation from Orbitz. I made multiple reservations because of the reputation rental companies had in Fiumicino airport. Hertz also did not honor quoted price from Orbitz. It was almost two hundred euros more. The agent was pressuring to take extra insurance. He was rude. It was like he was selling time shares. Making believe he was calling his manager and others to argue his case??!! I also walked away from this mess. The one company that not only honored my quote but that the agent acted professionally and graciously was Enterprise. I would give them another try. My experience at budget was mirrored by a friend that Also flew into Rome FCO. I'm honestly at a loss for words at the level of corruption and lack of professionalism and the outright contempt for the customer displayed at the auto rental counters at Fiumicino airport. As an Italian myself I am embarrassed and disgusted that travelers from around the world are treated this way upon first arriving in Italy. Don't hand over any docs or credit cards until price is agreed upon.

You are right. Garbage is a real eyesore in some parts of Sicily.
