Just as in the UK, Italy drives on the right-hand side of the road. Also, blood alcohol content limit is less than the UK at 0.05%, so drinking is best left until you've parked for the day. Rest assured, our car rental options all come with essential features such as GPS to make your stay in Trapani as smooth as possible.
Mobility and Parking
City centres often have restricted traffic zones (ZTL), avoiding these areas can spare you unexpectedly high fines. Parking can be found outside these zones, and on blue lines payment is required. Plan ahead, choose a compact car or mid-size sedan for better maneuverability around Trapani streets.
