Probably one of the best ways of seeing Milan in Italy is by car. If you don’t want to take your own vehicle abroad with you then it is well worth hiring a car to drive around Milan. You should book your car at the same time as you book your flight and accommodation as it is a bit risky leaving the car hire until the last minute. One thing you should always remember to do before you sign a car rental agreement is to read through the small print.

Although though most car rental firms in Italy will have fully comprehensive insurance on their vehicles it is always possible that you could pick one that doesn’t. Don’t even contemplate a rental agreement that only offers third party fire and theft as you could find yourself with a hefty bill if you should have an accident while driving through Milan.

There is plenty to see in Milan and it is regarded as one of the top cities for shopping in Europe, if not the world. You should take time to visit the Santa Maria dell Grazie, a museum that holds Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting of the Last Supper. You should also make sure that your rental car has European breakdown cover while you are driving through Italy. It really can be quite expensive if the recovery people have to come a long way to get you and your vehicle. Check that you have this cover if you don’t want to find yourself with a hefty bill at the end of your holiday.
