50. Renting A Fiat 500
Level: Beginner

Today you are going to learn everything (well, almost…) you need to know in order to rent a car in Italy, if you ever feel adventurous enough to drive, while there… You do know that Italians have a terrible reputation as car drivers, right? And what if you do not feel like driving? Well, you can always take a train… Enjoy!

November 26th, 2006 at 11:51 pmI just came back from a trip to Italy where I happened to rent a car – and was overall a very nice experience…
Italian drivers are really much more comfortable driving much closer than is typical in other countries I visited – but other than that, it was really fun!

I went to Rome recently and I think the Roman’s still drive like its a chariot race. All the best Karen

August 24th, 2007 at 4:38 amJust wondering why if you are renting an apartment you use the word affitare, and if renting a car you use noleggiare. Are the words interchangeable or not?
LearnItalianPod.com Says:
August 25th, 2007 at 8:29 amThe verbs “noleggiare” and “affittare” have the same meaning – “to rent”. But they are not interchangeable. You could not say “noleggiare un appartamento”. When undecided on the one to use, pick the verb “affittare”.

And thank you for the new things on your site.
I have a suggestion – like the art vocabulary, it would be great vith a vocabulary connected to the wineindustry and winemaking, drinking and grapes. How about that?

July 12th, 2009 at 12:30 amCome mai usate la parola “auto” invece di dire “macchina”? Io ho vissuto tanti anni in Italia e’ ho sempre usato macchina per dire “car”. Sara’ una cosa regionale? Is one more correct than the other? Bellissimi questi podcast!!
