Leasing a Car for Italy Travel

Many people rent a car when traveling in Italy but if you're going to be traveling for three weeks or longer, a lease buy back program can save you money. There are other advantages like excellent insurance coverage and a brand new car of the model you choose.

I'm planning my fall travels and just leased a Renault Clio through Renault USA (book direct) as I often do. With the lease buy back program, it's important to make your plans more than a month before you leave for Europe. There's paperwork that needs to be completed ahead of time, but otherwise it's fairly easy. Renault Eurodrive charges a fee for car pick-ups and drop-offs outside France, but right now they're offering half off on these fees. In Italy lease cars are available at the Rome and Milan airports.
