KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Florence
- Florence is great as a homebase for travelers looking to visit Tuscany, especially with a hire car, as there are a plethora of day trip options available. For instance, travelers could drive to the neighboring cities of Cortona, Chianti, or Siena. Chianti is particularly great for travelers looking to drive across the Tuscan countryside to enjoy some of Italy’s most famous wine country.
- Need to pick up a hire car before you start your journey in Italy? If you flight lands at Florence Airport, you will find the majority of the hire car companies just outside, adjacent to the airport’s main terminal. There are a number of hire car counters in the airport’s lobby as well.
- One of the particular traits of Italian cities is the Limited Traffic Zones (ZTLs in Italian). These zones are not open for normal traffic and are, for the most part, only accessible to residents who live and work there. Drivers should keep this in mind when deciding upon hotels and travel itineraries in the city.
- Morning rush hour typically lasts from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in Florence, and travelers are highly advised to avoid it if possible. There is also an evening rush hour that goes from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and largely affects drivers leaving the downtown area. Other areas to avoid during rush hour include the streets surrounding the Giardino della Fortezza, as this area in particular is plagued with traffic.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Florence for ₪166 or less
- Book your rental car in Florence at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
We waited in queue for about an hour/ hour half for the lady behind the desk to tell us that she gave our rental away. Worse experience.3.2 Poor
Oct 2019
Pros:
Did not except free upgrade coupon. Quote rate was $105 final rate was was $214. Misleading. I’m a gold member with Hertz and was treaded very poorly. Said no upgrade was available and they had about 50-75 cars in the lot.Cons:
Gave me the free upgrade that Hertz gave me as a reward. Charged me the quoted rate. No signage at drop off on where to park the vehicle.3.6 Poor
Sep 2019
Pros:
Staff was fairly friendlyCons:
They didn’t have the car we booked. So instead we ended up with a Renault Kadjar, which is by far the worst car I’ve ever drive. Bulky, uncomfortable, and the transmission was atrocious. All because they didn’t have what we actually booked.Dollar

Pros:
Nothing, had to cancel due to complications with system.Cons:
Your system is flawed if you have to adjust reservation. It doesn't work and no o e answers the phone to call for fixes.5.6 Fair
Aug 2018
Pros:
The car itself was in good condition.Cons:
The line to check in was ridiculously long, the longest I have ever seen. It took 45 minutes to reach the counter. The line was as long when we returned the car. My father had a separate contract and wanted to pay cash, but couldn’t wait in such a long line. The counter outside to pick up the car was overwhelmed and we had to wait 30 minutes for one of our cars to be ready. There was no area to sit or get out of the sun.3.6 Poor
Jul 2018
Pros:
That we actually found the rental car return lot.Cons:
I would strongly suggest no one return a car to Florence as their location is difficult to find, signage is absent, and it was stressful navigating our way because car rental is not right at airport. Check-in is at a mobile home-like setting.2.0 Poor
May 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
We got to the desk and they couldn’t find our reservations even though we had our reservation number. I called your 800 number and they said there’s nothing they could do. We were at the airport rental car counters for over 4 hrs. We had to make new reservations on line and wait to get the car. The rental car counters in Florence are full of people and it takes hours to get things done.8.4 Very good
Apr 2018
Pros:
Liked that I can get automatic. Very confusing about fuel surcharge. Said I didn’t want it for 95 euros but it was on my receipt so I didn’t fill it up. At drop off I was told that was just shown but would have not charged so I got stuck paying that and a 36 Euro additional service charge.Leasys Rent

Cons:
The car quality is excellent, clean and new. My critics would be that before I head to Italy, I called customer service line in USA and asked if we add a driver can the second driver drop the car off, the Avis USA customer service line said yes. But when we got there in Italy they said no6.0 Okay

Pros:
The customer service in Florence was excellent. She upgraded our car without charge.Cons:
The dropoff location in Rome led us to the middle of a random parking lot on the outskirts of Rome. We put the address in Google Maps and in the GPS in the car. Wasted 3 hours trying to figure out where to take it. Very frustrating.10.0 Wonderful

May 2017
Cons:
I was expecting to rent an Audi A3 manual convertible or equivalent, but when I arrived at the pickup, the only car available was a Fiat automatic convertible. I find it a leap to say these cars are equivalent. The trip was to tour though Tuscany mountainside. The little Fiat automatic was not up to the challenge and not what I was expecting.Alamo

I booked a Mercedes Benz and was given a FIAT!!! They said it was the same category but there is no universe where those two brands are on the same levels. Total scam. My flight got in two hours late so they apparently gave my car away. I looked on the website and the car I was given was a third of the price of the car I had booked.
