The historic centre of Genoa is traffic-restricted and considered pedestrian-friendly. While you will not be able to drive here, you can catch a bus, taxi, or go for a stroll to see the cultural and historic sights. When driving around the rest of the city, ports and coastal regions, take note of high foot traffic regions such as the University. Scooters are a dominant form of transport and tend to whizz around the city, so keep your eyes peeled. To avoid congestion, accidents and getting lost, book a sat nav with your car hire in Genoa and ensure you get around with ease.
With several main motorways and roads servicing the city of Genoa, the region experiences surprisingly low congestion rates historically. The main motorway coming into Genoa is the A7, which in turn becomes the A80. The SS1 is the major road, which stretches along much of the coast line.

Your sat nav will be able to highlight areas to avoid.
A good tip to find cheap car hire in Genoa is to resist the temptation to splash out on a more upmarket vehicle than you need for your holiday or business trip. Instead, save some money to spend on enjoying yourself! For instance, if you're in the city as a single person, or with a friend or partner, you won't need much more than a small car to easily get around. Another way to get good value for money when you're hiring a car is to book as far in advance as you can, as many car hire companies offer lower prices for this.
Child seat laws in Genoa are quite straightforward. No matter what age or weight, all children shorter than 150 cm must travel in an approved child seat. If you have an infant, you can put the child seat in the front. It must face backwards and you must deactivate the passenger airbag.

You might also want to consider nominating an additional driver as another extra so you can share the driving and child-minding duties.

Most of the main hire car companies have a decent selection for you to choose from. And of course, it's a great way of reducing your carbon footprint, plus you can offset some of the emissions of your flight from the UK.
