Regulations for Non-EU Travelers
For U.S., Australian and other non-European Union citizens, a valid driver's license from your country of residence will provide up to three months of driving in Italy. After this you will need to apply for a temporary Italian driver's license.
Courmayeur City Center
Car hire choices in Courmayeur are primarily operated by small, local business owners. Autonoleggi Valle d'Aosta, located on 65 Via Lostan, provides a small garage for rentals and has been known to cut deals for travelers wanting to drive shorter distances in the region. AT Courmayeur, found on Noleggio Con Conducente, offers car hire with driver included for beginning rates of 65 euros per day.
Finding a Deal
For the most competitive rental rates, look to websites such as CarRentals.com or CarHire3000.com, where prices can be much cheaper than deals offered on location.
Torino
Possibly the best deals around for travelers looking to drive throughout Italy, Turino has Alamo, National and Budget rentals starting at 251 euros per week on economy cars in 2009 and 330 for compacts. Alamo offered the cheapest of these and can be found at Stazione Porta Nuova in Torino.
Online Reservations
For experienced and first-time travelers alike, the most cost-effective and convenient method for selecting a vehicle is to book it online. This can help you save upward of 80 euros per rental as of 2009. Though most of these services generally request credit card information before processing your reservation, CarRentals.com books competitive prices with only your name and address.
Things to Remember
For drivers unfamiliar with European roads and the Italian roundabout, consulting the Italian handbook on driving regulations can pre-empt a lot of frustration. Also, invest in an up-to-date road map before embarking on your trip.
