Recycles dryer sheets
SO, not sure if anybody is just like me, but I thought I would ask the question.
I have dual citizenship. (Canada/Italy) I reside in Canada. I am doing an extended stay in Italy. (8 months) And will be going back every year for 4-6 months if all goes according to plan for the next 5 years or so.
I have been looking at rental cars and the price has gotten much more expensive than last time I was over there. So DW and I were talking about buying a car over there, and leaving it with family between visits.
So, From the research I have found, as a dual citizen, yes, I can buy a car but need an Italian address. has anybody done this? Is a family member's address good enough or do we have to own property before we can purchase a car?
If we can purchase a car, what is insurance like? Is having a Canadian driver's license an issue? I understand that insurance the first year will be expensive as I have no history with insurance in Italy. I suspect $3,000 or so.
Does anyone have advice or experience with this?
Thanks
