Car Rentals in Tuscany
Are you considering renting a car during your holiday in Tuscany? International car rental companies have offices across the region but there are also many smaller, local agencies that offer car rentals so renting a car on your vacation will be simple.
A rental car is an extremely useful and practical solution while you are in Tuscany. Many car rental offices are located near the main airports and train stations so that is is possible to pick up your rental as soon as you arrive in Tuscany. If you prefer to stay in the countryside or are planning to visit the beautiful smaller villages spread throughout Tuscany, renting a car is the best solution. It will also offer additional independence from fixed bus and train schedules or from the random transportation strike that tend to occur in Italy so that you can move from one place to the next at your leisure.
If you plan a visit to just Florence, a car will not be needed. If you wish to visit towns and villages beyond the most popular destinations of Florence, Pisa and Siena or the Chianti hills or explore smaller towns and villages in Tuscany, then a car will certainly be useful.
A rental car will also open your options as regards accommodation: with the independence of moving whenever you wish, you can decide to sleep at a farmhouse or bed and breakfast in the Tuscan countryside rather than in lodging within the city center.
Renting a car in Tuscany is extremely simple since you can reserve your rental car online before you head to Tuscany. A credit card is required for the reservation and at the moment of pick-up, and non-European Union citizens need to remember they'll likely need, in addition to their driver's license, an International Driving Permit along with your license - so make sure you've got your documents in order before departing.
The majority of car rental agencies offer rentals with many extras including satellite GPS navigators which will prove to be useful during your vacation in Tuscany. We wish you a safe and enjoyable journey!
