Your Move to Italy

We've included below some useful information and websites to help you in planning your move and new life in Italy.

There are lots of differences between the UK and Italy, which of course, is one of the principal attractions for people to move to Italy. From driving on the right, to a new language to new social customs, it's worth doing your research before you go and being prepared.

If you're buying a holiday home in Italy, check your home insurance details for your house in the UK. Many policies are only valid if your home is not unoccupied for 90 days - if you're thinking about spending the winter in your house in Italy, contact your UK insurance company.

Driving in Italy

Driving in Italy, an unfamiliar country can be a daunting process. Fortunately Removals Brokers has several tips which when used correctly can ease the problems associated with driving in Italy.

Drivers must be aged 18 or over to drive in Italy providing they are holders of a full UK driving licence. Holding a full UK licence and being over the age of 18 also allows visitors to ride a motorbike over 125cc.

Italy imposes strict rules for children travelling within motor vehicles. Those aged between four and twelve are forbidden to travel in the front of a vehicle unless a suitable restraint system is used.

Always drive on the right of the road and ensure every person present within your vehicle is wearing a seatbelt. When driving on either dual carriageways or motorways ensure that the vehicles headlights are switched on and dipped at any time during day or night.

Certain items must be present within the vehicle at all times when driving in Italy. These include the vehicle registration papers, a driving licence and an insurance certificate. For the full list of items and for more details on the rules and regulations when driving in Italy, see the angloinfo site.

The Italian Language

Learning a new language can be quite a barrier to overcome. Moving to a new country where the residents speak an entirely different language can leave the people who have moved feeling isolated and alienated. It is therefore advisable to at least learn Italian or at least the basics of italian before moving to Italy. Learning Italian before you move to Italy has a major benefit of being able to integrate with the Italian society more easily as communication is simpler.

Moving with your Pets

Alongside prized possessions reaching Italy, pets will also need to reach their destination safely and securely. Therefore when transporting pets to Italy it is best to use the pet travel scheme, this allows pets to be transported from the UK to Italy without undergoing quarantine. To find out more about the Pet travel scheme simply contact your nearest vet.
