Italy borders France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, and San Marino. Cross-border rentals are generally permitted to these countries. Montenegro, Albania, and other Balkan non-EU countries may be restricted. Always inform the rental company before crossing any border — driving into an unapproved country voids the insurance and is a contractual violation.
