Once you're inside the city, pay attention to the street signs letting you know where you can and can't drive and stick to the general limit of 50 km/h.

Where are the best places to park in Trieste?

Despite locals parking wherever they feel like it, having a car hire in Trieste means your vehicle will be targeted if you decide to do the same.

Trieste sits along the coast between Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea. Thanks to its proximity to nearby regions and nations, car hire in Trieste is the ideal way to venture outside of the city and explore everything the region has to offer, without trying to deal with public transport. Public transit systems can open you up to delays and force you to see all of the sights on a schedule; with a car hire in Trieste, you have the power to decide how long you spend at the harbour or sitting at Piazza Unita Italia, staring at the water.
When travelling to Trieste from Australia, your flight will land at Trieste Airport (TRS), the main international airport serving the region. Trieste Airport is home to roughly eight major car hire companies, which all operate out of the main arrivals hall of the airport. Make your way through the luggage claim and you'll find them in front of you. A few of them include AVIS, Budget and Enterprise. It's preferable to prebook through KAYAK, to avoid dealing with availability issues and to get cheaper rates. Once you've filled out the paperwork, you'll go to the car hire parking to do a final inspection.
As with all Italian cities, driving is a big thing, and you'll be glad to have chosen car hire in Trieste once you get there. The roads are narrow and traffic seems to flow according to its own rules, but you'll quickly find your feet and be moving along with the locals in no time. Be aware when approaching intersections, and watch for people crossing the road and public transport vehicles.
A difficult part of driving in Trieste is the narrow streets and trying to navigate along roads with cars parked along the side. A couple of other problems include local drivers driving quickly and honking at other drivers, even when they're going the speed limit. Don't be deterred, just be aware that it might happen. Also, look out for younger people driving recklessly on scooters.
