Renting a car while visiting Piedmont is wise, especially if you want to tour the region extensively. With a rental car, you'll enjoy the freedom of traveling from one city to another at whatever time you choose, directly, comfortably, and in privacy. Notable cities in the region include Alba, Turin, Barolo, Cuneo, Bra, and Saluzzo. Although public transportation means are present, they’re quite slow. For instance, if you travel from TRN to Alba using public transport connections, your travel time will be about an hour, primarily because of the changes you’ll experience. With a rental car, your travel time will be considerably shorter, around 20 minutes.

Driving in Piedmont is active but not difficult. In the region's less populated towns, you'll enjoy smooth drives, given that the roads don't have so much pedestrian and car traffic and most road users respect the road regulations. On the other hand, in the region's major towns like Turin and Novara, you'll have to stay alert since the roads are almost always full. In these cities, be on the lookout for jaywalking pedestrians, bikers, and other drivers since some usually flout the rules whenever the chance arises.

To rent a car in Piedmont, you must be at least 21 years and no older than 75. If you're below 25 years, you will likely pay more than renters above the said age since car rentals in Piedmont apply a young driver's surcharge on young renters. Besides being over 21 years old, you must have a driver's license, an International Driving Permit, a passport, and a credit card. For your license to be deemed valid, it must not be suspended or expired. You must also have held it for no less than a year.
