KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Florence

  • Florence is great as a homebase for travelers looking to visit Tuscany, especially with a hire car, as there are a plethora of day trip options available. For instance, travelers could drive to the neighboring cities of Cortona, Chianti, or Siena. Chianti is particularly great for travelers looking to drive across the Tuscan countryside to enjoy some of Italy’s most famous wine country.
  • Need to pick up a hire car before you start your journey in Italy? If you flight lands at Florence Airport, you will find the majority of the hire car companies just outside, adjacent to the airport’s main terminal. There are a number of hire car counters in the airport’s lobby as well.
  • One of the particular traits of Italian cities is the Limited Traffic Zones (ZTLs in Italian). These zones are not open for normal traffic and are, for the most part, only accessible to residents who live and work there. Drivers should keep this in mind when deciding upon hotels and travel itineraries in the city.
  • Morning rush hour typically lasts from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in Florence, and travelers are highly advised to avoid it if possible. There is also an evening rush hour that goes from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and largely affects drivers leaving the downtown area. Other areas to avoid during rush hour include the streets surrounding the Giardino della Fortezza, as this area in particular is plagued with traffic.
  • If you’re already in the country and plan on entering Florence by train, SIXT and Hertz have offices near Santa Maria Novello Train Station for hassle-free booking and pick-up of a cheap car hire in Florence. There’s also a large cluster of providers including Sunnycars and Europcar not far from the main railway terminal along Borgo Ognissanti leading towards San Salvatore Church if you prefer. Either group is also convenient for those arriving by coach at Florence Bus Station, which is a short walk from Santa Maria Novello Station.
  • Have your passport and return ticket along with your valid domestic driver’s licence handy when you arrive at the car hire office. Any driver 21 years or older can book a cheap car hire in Florence, but those below the age of 25 may incur additional charges imposed by many major providers. Pensioners over 70 years of age should be aware that most companies assess surcharges for senior drivers. If you don’t use major credit cards, there are a few companies like Hertz that allow payment via bank debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo.
  • Before you drive away in your Florence car hire, plug-in your hands-free mobile device and be sure all front and rear passengers are wearing seat belts. Request any child or booster seats for kids 12 years or younger in advance to be sure you all ride safely. We recommend a sat-nav instead of running up the data usage on your mobile phone. There are stiff penalties for drink driving in Florence, so operate your vehicle responsibly at all times. Dial 112 in case of emergency while on the road.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Florence for £23 or less
  • Book your car hire in Florence at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Luxury hire cars in Florence are around 139% more expensive than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Florence

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Florence?

    Coupes, sedans and compacts are absolutely recommended for would-be renters visiting Florence. Larger vehicles such as SUVs or even vans will not find the smaller streets in Florence comfortable or inviting. Streetside parking with a larger vehicle would be a struggle.

  • What’s the speed limit in Florence?

    Florence’s speed limits are set to the same standards as most cities in Italy, with metropolitan areas featuring speed limits of 50 km/h (31 mph) and rural roads around 90 km/h (56 mph). Minor highways tend to have speed limits of 110 km/h (68 mph), whereas larger highways usually post speed limits of 130 km/h (80 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Florence?

    Parking can be extremely tough to come by in Florence, and drivers are highly advised to stick to private parking garages and lots. Streetside parking is scarce and competition for the few available spots is fierce. It will likely be much easier to park outside of the city center and then take public transport in.

  • Should I get insurance when hiring a car in Florence?

    Most car hire providers in Florence offer insurance but the level of protection can differ substantially. If you're unsure whether to get extra protection for your car hire in Florence, check out KAYAK's car hire insurance guide.

  • How can I improve my Florence car hire experience?

    Choosing the right car for your budget and the size of your party is essential. Also check to see if your location offers early pick-up service or a 24-hr returns policy to avoid late fees if you’re unavoidably detained by road accidents or detours. We recommend booking your car hire a few months in advance of summer holiday travel and enquire about any penalties or fees if you need to extend, change or cancel a booking.

  • What exciting road trips can I take from Florence?

    The drive from Florence to Milan via A1/E45 travels through the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy where the food and automotive industries are king. As it winds north, the route skirts the medieval cities of Bologna, Modena, Reggio Emilio and Parma, where several UNESCO World Heritage Sites are located, so anticipate a few detours along the way.

The reservation was handled through Hertz representative at Florence, Italy airport (Dollar was closed?). I was not given any telephone contacts if I needed roadside assistance or other problems with the rental. I had an issue with a tire pressure indicator and the car manual was in Italian. It was stressful driving late evening with no contact information to interpret the seriousness of the issue. After a long delay, a YouTube video helped resolve the situation. Felt isolated in foreign land.

We booked a small car, Opel Corsa or similar and they had a Corsa in the lot and two Lacia Yipsilon but they gave us a crossover vehicle called DR which was very large and extremely slow which made going up and down hulls practically dangerous as the car barely made it. For paying so much and not getting anything close to what we ordered felt lile we got a bait and switch from the company. Upon return of the vehicle the office was closed so there was no one to explain this to. Ended up being charged over $200 for less than 24 hours for a vehicle that nearly got us into an accident due to its poor functionality.

The car had some dings which was fine, but the lack of 3 of the 4 hubcaps (wheel covers) was odd and made it look worse than it was. But it was a good value for the long-term rental, and the car performed well and was very advantageous in both tight urban environments and on the many narrow town and rural roads I encountered. I never could figure out the radio but no mechanical problems at all.

We ended up having to switch to a larger vehicle and after all was said and done, and signed, we drove off with a BMW iX xDrive 40. Very spacious, trunk space was on the smaller average. Overall, it was a very comfrotable drive, and having carplay/android auto, it was super easy to setup and get going. The Sixt Firenze office was easy to get to from Santa Maria Novella station. The team at sixt were very nice and had us on the road in no time. I would definitely rent from Sixt Firenze again.

our flight was cancelled. We could not contact them. Avis took the opportunity the next day to charge ridiculous rates for the smallest vehicles. We went to another provider and were provided with the requested size at near the earlier quoted rate. I will not use a third party provider again. If not direct avis does not care.

Pickup in Florence was excellent, I had a very helpful service person who helped me decide which car to take. Ended up with a brand new car with only 8 km on it (we then put a problem free 1400 km on it over the next 10 days). Dropping off the car in Munich was confusing, there was no instructions about where to park or that I was to use a key drop box. I just saw an Avis sign on a parking garage so I left it in that garage and stumbled across a non-descript drop box while wondering around for a service counter. Searched my email and re-read the rental contracts to see if that was what I was supposed to do or not, but found no additional information.
