Venice Car Rental

Car Hire in Venice

Venice rests on of a series of 117 islands spread throughout the Venetian lagoon at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea. The ancient centre of Venice is broken into six quarters (sestieri), San Marco, Dorsoduro, San Polo, Santa Croce, Cannaregio and Castello. The city's main "street" is the Grand Canal that intersects each district as it flows through the length of Venice from the railway station to San Marco. Discover each unique district with the freedom and flexibility of a rental car. A car rental in Venice is an excellent way to enjoy a fabulous tour of northeastern Italy.

Travelling in Venice with a Car Hire

With car hire in Venice you can visit the graceful Venetian palaces and the buildings that stare over the ancient warren of narrow streets. Take a gondola and explore the infamous maze of canals that contrive to make Venice a unique city. The best way to get to know the more personal side of Venice is to drive through its idealistic back streets and residential quarters. As an alternative to walking the perplexing streets of Venice, you could try a cruise of the waterways on the motorboat buses known as vaporetti.

After you've seen the gondolas, St. Mark's, the Doge's Palace and the canals, your rental car in Venice can bring you inland into what was once the heart of Renaissance Europe. Drive to Verona, home of Shakespeare's Juliet and the site of a Roman Arena still used today, or to Padua to see the Giotto frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel. If you wish, head north to the Dolomite Mountains to taste a bit of Bavaria in the Italian Alps.
