## Resource

A quick update from Katy on the one thing that catches out even experienced travelers heading to Italy: the International Driving Permit. Summary: If you are driving or renting a car in Italy on a license from outside the EU, Italian law requires you to carry an International Driving Permit alongside your home license. Katy explains what the permit is, why the rental desk and the Carabinieri will ask for it, where to get one, how much it costs, and how long it takes. Not sure where to start?
