Pisa car rentals - Save up to 15%

Explore Tuscany at Your Leisure

Renting a car in Pisa offers the freedom to discover the region's charming towns, vineyards, and historical sites on your own schedule. With a vehicle at your disposal, you can easily drive to the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, located in the city's heart, or venture out to the nearby medieval town of Lucca, which is just a 20-minute drive away. The beautiful city of Florence, with its renowned art and architecture, is also within reach, only about an hour's drive from Pisa.

Inspect Your Rental Car Thoroughly

Before you set off on your Italian adventure, make sure to thoroughly check the rental car for any pre-existing damage. Document any imperfections such as scratches or dents and report them to the rental agency to prevent any misunderstandings when you return the car. It's advisable to take pictures or even a video as proof. Familiarize yourself with the rental agreement, noting details like mileage restrictions, fuel policy, insurance inclusions, and any additional fees. Remember to refuel the car before returning it to avoid extra charges, and always return the car on time to prevent late fees.

Child Safety Measures

In Italy, child safety in vehicles is paramount. Ensure that you request the appropriate child or booster seats for your little ones when booking your rental car. Availability might vary, so it's best to confirm in advance. Not adhering to child safety regulations can result in fines and put children at risk.

Navigate Pisa with Ease

Driving in Pisa can be a delightful experience, but it's important to avoid rush hours to prevent getting stuck in traffic. Plan your routes to avoid congested areas during peak times, typically in the mornings and evenings. While Pisa is not as large as Tokyo, it's still wise to be cautious when driving in the city center, which can be busy and have limited parking options.

Cost-Effective Travel

Choosing a car rental can be a more economical way to explore Pisa and its surroundings compared to relying on taxis or other forms of transport. While Pisa has a compact city center, the convenience of a car becomes apparent when you wish to visit attractions that are further afield, such as the Tuscan countryside or the coastal towns along the Ligurian Sea.

Convenient Pickup Locations

Pisa offers various convenient locations for picking up your rental car, including Pisa International Airport, where you'll find a selection of rental agencies. This allows you to start your journey as soon as you arrive, without the need for additional transportation to a rental office.

Driving in Italy

When driving in Pisa and throughout Italy, it's important to remember that vehicles drive on the right side of the road. Road signs are typically in Italian, so having a rental car equipped with a GPS navigation system that offers English language options can be very helpful. Be mindful of the Zona Traffico Limitato (ZTL), or limited traffic zones, in the city centers, which restrict vehicle access to authorized vehicles only at certain times to reduce congestion and pollution.
