In Florence like in any other important city of Tuscany (Siena, Pisa, Luca, Arrezzo), you can rent a car straight away, from the airport, train stations or near the city centre. There is a large number of car hire enterprises in the city of Florence, all having low budget car hire services as well as luxury cars for tourists who can afford more.

We advise you to rent a small car while in Florence, for economical reasons but also due to very busy road traffic in Florence. You will have better chances to find a parking place if you drive a small class car. Most of the times, finding a parking place proves to be a challenging task in Florence and you should be aware that certain areas in the city centre might not allow car traffic.

Like everywhere in the world, you will be asked to meet certain conditions in order for you to be able to rent a car; you must be over 21 years old and own a driving license since at least one or two years. Some car hire companies will reserve their right to ask you credit card details as a guarantee or an amount of money. We advise you to chose a car rental company who offers full insurance for their cars.

If you happen not to find a car rental company in Florence, make sure to check first the website of www.paginegialle.it (Yellow Pages), or take a look at the list given below.
