As mentioned above, many of the roads throughout Trieste are incredibly narrow and many drivers park along the roads even with the limited space. With this in mind, stick to a car as small and compact as you can manage, to ensure you can navigate the streets. A few of the popular car hire choices in Trieste include Fiat 500, Mini Cooper, Renault Clio and Peugeot 208. Steer clear of the SUV and 4x4 ranges, no matter how hard others try to sell you on them. With the stop/start traffic due to the smaller roads, heavier cars use up a lot more fuel.

The speed limit when driving your Trieste car hire will be the same as the rest of Italy, as the laws are uniform across the country. When you're approaching the city along a major highway, stick to 130 km/h or below. If you're on a major road that isn't a highway, the speed limit will probably be 110 km/h, and the minor roads on the outskirts, closer to the built-up areas usually have a limit of 90 km/h. Once you're inside the city, pay attention to the street signs letting you know where you can and can't drive and stick to the general limit of 50 km/h.

Despite locals parking wherever they feel like it, having a car hire in Trieste means your vehicle will be targeted if you decide to do the same. A wise idea when parking in the city is to use a public car park and walk to where you need to be. If you find parking bays along the street with open parking, park there and make sure you pay the meter.
