Car rental in Foggia

Driving in Foggia

Car Class Recommendations

A compact car will do you well for zipping through Foggia’s historic city centre. But for coastal trips, maybe opt for a convertible, making it easy for the warm sun and sea breeze to enhance your journey.

Parking and Traffic Rules

In Foggia, as in the rest of Italy, cars drive on the right-hand side, unlike the UK. Traffic is denser in the city centre, and parking can be a bit tricky. We recommend using one of the city's many car parks. Also, do take note that in Italy, you are obliged to have a reflective safety vest in your car at all times. It’s also important to remember that speed limits in Italy are strictly enforced, so stick to them to avoid any complications.
