I 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 here what you say about Italian drivers I went to Rome recently and I think the Roman’s still drive like its a chariot race. All the best Karen

Just 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?

The 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”.
