Cheap Venice Hire Car & Car Rentals

The floating city of Venice can easily weave an enchanting spell over you, with its labyrinthine alleyways, stunning churches and famous canal byways. This is a city that beckons you to get lost and promises visual surprises just around every corner.

You can’t bring any vehicles downtown, so leave your Venice car hire at the door. You’ll need to rely on your feet and the ubitiqitious vaporetti (water buses) to take you on your treasure hunt.

Go Cruising

You can use car hire in Venice to take you right up to the border of this “sanctuary on a lagoon”, but then it’s time to park your ride. No worries! Water buses and taxis can take you on a fascinating tour of the Grand Canal where your eyes might just go into overdrive trying to absorb the beauty around you.

Step foot on shore at the busy Piazza San Marco where you can gaze at the wonder that is Saint Mark’s Basilica. Get your Venice church bingo card ready, because you will find a historical cathedral in almost every piazza.

Whoever loses at bingo can pick up dinner in a romantic bistro. Try to find a spot near the Rialto Bridge, so you can sip bubbly prosecco under the twinkling lights of the canal while gondolas carry lovers across the water.

Road Trip!

Road trips during Venice holidays often end up being water trips. When it’s time to escape the crowds of Venice, hop on a boat to the nearby islands of Murano, Burano or Torcello. Collect gorgeous handmade glass souvenirs in Murano, lace in Burano, and some peace and quiet in Torcello.

If your Venice rental car is getting lonely, hit the mainland and cruise to nearby Florence (255km south) or Milan (270km west), both highly cosmopolitan cities with plenty treasures of their own to share!
