In official car rental agencies in France, a physical credit card in the main driver's name is typically required. Debit cards may not be accepted, or their "credit bin" status should be verified. Digital payment methods like Apple Pay are generally not sufficient, as the physical card is needed for terminal processing. Some rental companies, such as Sixt in Norway and Italy, may be more flexible regarding the cardholder's name not matching the driver, but this is not a universal rule. Renting without a license or credit card often leads to unofficial services, which carry higher risks.

To avoid disruptions due to train strikes in Italy, it is recommended to check for strike information in advance. This can be done by searching news outlets for "scioperi treni" or by consulting the official calendar of strikes published on the website of the Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT). The website often provides detailed information about planned industrial actions.
