Cosenza is a major cultural hub in Italy. With plenty of theatres, libraries and museums, it is the ideal spot for all those curious at heart about a peoples’ culture. Even by just walking though the city, the rich culture of the locals can be felt through: their architecture, their cuisine, their language and festivals, their mode of dressing and even through their interactions with each other. All this makes Cosenza a city of much interest; allow you to relish it fully by employing the services of car rental agencies.

In the city, there are many companies giving rent-a-car services to both visitors and locals in the area. The company gives you a car of your choice, provided it is available in their collection and this may be accompanied by a number of add-ons such as a child seat, a carrier, GPRS and many more. While in some agencies the cost is just a flat rate for the car hire in others, it may include coverage of credit card fee, cancellation fee, collision damage waiver (CDW), third-party liability protection among others.

Before renting, make sure you are abreast with rules on the area – Cosenza. To begin with, driving is on the right side and the maximum speed limit is 80mph. With the blood alcohol limit being 0.05% typically, for drivers who have had their licenses for no more than 3 years the limit is 0%. This is also the case for professional drivers and a drunken driving charge attracts a high fine or steep penalties or both. Also, if you happen to be visually impaired and wear glasses while driving, the law requires you to have an extra pair in your car at all times.

Seated on a seismic zone, Cosenza experiences many earthquakes that have destroyed many a buildings in the area. The skeletons, however, are still standing in place and offer an insight on the ancient architecture of the place. One such building is the 11th Century Cathedral located at the centre of the town. This building has been continually ruined by earthquakes but the ruins still continue to stand the test of time. The Duomo is another feature that you will find interesting. This building intricately combines different styles of architecture and the interior, particularly, will leave you mesmerized by how Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic interiors all come together in an immaculate blend.

Hop into your car rental and drove down to Castello Svevo (Castle of Cosenza); from the courtyard, this quiet environment gives a beautiful view of the town. Just sitting here watching the sunset would be a moment of pure bliss.
