Wild camping is illegal and fines are enforced. Use official campsites or Aree di Sosta (motorhome service areas) which typically cost 5 to 20 euros per night and provide water and waste disposal.
Coastal roads can be narrow and busy during summer. Fill your fuel tank before driving to remote areas and allow extra travel time.

To rent a campervan in Italy, you must hold a valid Standard (Type B) driving licence. Most companies prefer drivers to be over 21 years of age, but some companies will rent campervans to 18-year-olds. Depending on the rental company, you must also have one to three years' driving experience.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
