General Tips for Travel:

• Car Rentals: Renting a car gives you the flexibility to explore Tuscany at your own pace. Most car rental agencies are available at the airports, but it's best to book in advance, especially if you want an automatic transmission. Most booking platforms will default to a manual transmission, so ensure that you’re selecting the correct option when booking. Note: Legally, an International Drivers Permit is required to drive in Italy. AAA offers them via mail or at one of their offices.

• Taxi Services: If you choose a taxi or private transfer, be sure to pre-arrange or confirm the fare with the driver before you depart, especially for longer journeys.

• Shuttles & Transfers: If you're traveling with a group, a shared shuttle or private transfer could be an economical and convenient option.

Note: We are working with our planners to set up shuttle options, please check back in the next few weeks.

Passport Information:

As you prepare to join us for our wedding celebration in beautiful Tuscany, please ensure that your travel documents are up to date. For international travelers, it is essential to check the expiration date of your passport before booking your flight.

Passport Expiration Guidelines:

• Six-Month Rule: Many countries, including Italy, require that your passport be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from the country. This means if your passport is set to expire within six months of your arrival, you may need to renew it before traveling.
