Siena Car Rental

Car Hire in Siena

Set in the rolling hills and mountains of Tuscany, Siena is a picturesque city and popular destination for travellers from both Italy and abroad, who are keen to see the grand architecture and experience the rich cultures of the area. Having been a wealthy independent state during the middle ages, Siena has an atmosphere and culture of its own, which has been passed down through generations. As a result of the wealth of the nobles in the area, many grand buildings were constructed and stand to this day, giving us an insight into how life once was in the area. Auto Europe offers several pick up locations and a large fleet selection, so finding a car rental in Siena is both easy and economical.

Travelling in Siena with a Car Hire

A highly recommended first stop for visitors to Siena, is the Piazza del Campo, the main square in the centre of town, and one of the largest medieval squares in Europe. Park your hire car in the centre of town, and explore the square, which is the site of Palazzo Comunale, the town hall of the 13th century, along with several other historical buildings. The highlight of the square though, would have to be the Torre de Mangia, a tower over 100 metres tall, from the top of which you will get an amazing view of the city. What a perfect introduction to the area!

Drive your rental car a few blocks west of here, and visit another of Siena’s squares, the Piazza del Duomo. It is here you will find the cathedral of Saint Mary, built in the 13th century, and a grand example of architecture from the time.

To learn about some of the area's most famous produce, jump in your hire car and head northeast of Siena, towards the village of Gaiole. Just outside the village is Castello di Brolio, a world famous winery. With vast areas of vineyards surrounding a central castle which dates back to the 11th century, the estate has been producing wine for over 500 years and is now well know throughout the world.

With the beautiful region of Tuscany ready to be explored, the choices are endless for those lucky enough to be travelling with a rental car. In the north you can visit the romantic city of Florence and spend a day enjoying the many museums and grand collections of art, or even visit the famous leaning tower of Pisa. To avoid the crowds, simply tour the hills with your hire car and stop off at the many quiet villages you’ll find along the way, a perfect way to see parts of Italy not advertised in tourist brochures and guides.
