Can foreigners rent cars in Europe? I'd like to stay in Tuscany but make 2 day trip to Rome. I'm from the U.S.?

yes and you need to be 18

OF course you can. and as the rates are threefold the us one you don't have to pay a surplus if you are young (maybe - I'm very old now). I think that roam with a car is good as long as you remember some little rules. and what other people have already written Town council live out of traffic ticket, they like out of town guys so much that they take your picture and send the ticket, the process is completely automated so do not think you will be approached by an old traffic warden willingn to practice Englis: the rental car will receivee the tickets, doubled - for administrative reasons - an charge it to your credit card. Avoid driving in the center of a city of more than 100 thousand people. Italian centres are so crammed the local can't find park for themselves an there are not so many public places as in California. Also speeding is a Big Brother issue: the record were 43 speeding tiket in the same day to same person. If you reserve a little time before maybe you can get an AT car. There are very long cue on the roads, sometimes. But the byways of Tuscany are quite nice. As you mentioned a disabiity REMEMBER the automatic tichet: I drove a friend in Siena we had the disability pass but they sent me a tichet, because theu control the town with TVCC: I had to do an administrative oposition to save me from the ticket, I did not had to pay the fine but the administrative cost about $10. In theory every Italian town( if you have the placard in your own towm) must issue you with a provisional permit, call the Comando Polizia Municipale or the Ufficio Relazioni Col Pubblico, for more informations.
