Travelers from the United States planning to drive while visiting Italy should acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) before departing their home country. While it is possible to use a valid American driver's license if accompanied by an official Italian translation, many car rental companies in Italy mandate the possession of an IDP. Obtaining the permit is a straightforward and easy process that can be completed by visiting a AAA Travel office. The requirements include completing an application form, providing two original passport-sized photographs (which can also be taken at most AAA Travel offices), presenting a valid U.S. driver's license, and paying a fee of $20 USD.
