Before renting
- Download the app: Using the SIXT app makes choosing a car and the rental process much simpler. Make sure you have a valid EU driving licence or an International Driving Permit before trying to rent.
During rental
- Strict ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) restrictions: In Bergamo, the picturesque Città Alta (Upper Town) has very stringent ZTL rules. Access is heavily restricted, especially on weekends, public holidays and in the evenings. Tourists generally cannot drive into the ZTLs without a special permit.
- Motorway tolls and payment systems (autostrade): Italy's motorways (autostrade), indicated by green signs, are almost all toll roads. Be prepared to pay by cash or credit/debit card at toll booths.
- Mandatory regulations: Firstly, you must have an EU driving licence, or an International Driving Permit along with your non-EU licence, to drive a rental car. Your rental car should include a reflective warning triangle and a reflective vest.
After rental
- Re-fuel: Make sure to return your rental car with the same level of fuel you had when you received it.
- Drop-off area: Return your vehicle to the agreed drop-off area.

We arrived at Bergamo Airport to pick up a rental car for our trip to Livigno. At the Sixt counter, we were assisted by a very helpful employee, Puja, who provided excellent customer service.
She kindly offered us a car upgrade, ensuring we had a stress-free drive to Livigno, where snowy conditions were likely. Together, we found a vehicle equipped with winter tires and quattro. We received an Audi Q3 S-Line Sportback with less than 10,000 km, featuring Apple CarPlay, keyless entry, and a 2.0 diesel engine with M+S tires.
Puja offered us the free upgrade if we purchased additional insurance from Sixt, which cost only €40 per day. Yes, I understand that car rental employees focus on upselling rather than just handing over the car you booked through platforms like Booking.com—but that’s the case with all rental companies. It’s their job, and they earn their living this way.
We returned the car without any issues, and overall, I’m satisfied with the smooth and professional experience at Sixt Bergamo Airport. If you’re renting a car here, I highly recommend Sixt!
