Car Hire in Venice Italy
Our car hire in Venice Italy guide explores some of the best car hire options available.
First off, if you want to explore Venice then a rental car is not
necessary and you couldn't drive anyway - unless
your car floats rather well.
In cities like Verona and Vicenza public
transport, bicycle and walking are far better options than a car.
Car hire however does have its value though; it is definitely the best way to explore the little
towns and quaint country villages of the Veneto.
In fact car rental is
often the only way, unless you are a great cyclist, that you can even
reach many of these places.
These out of the way little villages and hill-towns also happen to be
some of the gems of the Veneto. It is therefore essential for anyone
wanting to get an authentic taste of the Veneto to have a car.
Many of my friends and family who visit me here are quite amazed
at how pleasant it is to rent a car and drive in the Veneto.
As Italian
drivers go these are among the best and, with the cities being small, there is not the complete car chaos that you find in the bigger car
congested cities like
Rome
and Milan... let alone the driving nightmare that is Naples.
In terms of car hire I find that it does pay to shop
around well before you leave. Car hire at Venice or Verona airport is
expensive and car hire normally works out cheaper if organized before
you leave.
Most of the big car rental companies offer good deals – companies
like Hertz, Sixt and Maggiore all have good reputations. Personally, when I travel I generally use Discover Car Hire - they seem to have the best rental rates in Europe and they help us pay the bills... if you book with them through our website that is:-)
