KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Trieste

  • Trieste sits along the coast between Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea. Thanks to its proximity to nearby regions and nations, car hire in Trieste is the ideal way to venture outside of the city and explore everything the region has to offer, without trying to deal with public transport. Public transit systems can open you up to delays and force you to see all of the sights on a schedule; with a car hire in Trieste, you have the power to decide how long you spend at the harbour or sitting at Piazza Unita Italia, staring at the water.
  • When travelling to Trieste from Australia, your flight will land at Trieste Airport (TRS), the main international airport serving the region. Trieste Airport is home to roughly eight major car hire companies, which all operate out of the main arrivals hall of the airport. Make your way through the luggage claim and you'll find them in front of you. A few of them include AVIS, Budget and Enterprise. It's preferable to prebook through KAYAK, to avoid dealing with availability issues and to get cheaper rates. Once you've filled out the paperwork, you'll go to the car hire parking to do a final inspection.
  • As with all Italian cities, driving is a big thing, and you'll be glad to have chosen car hire in Trieste once you get there. The roads are narrow and traffic seems to flow according to its own rules, but you'll quickly find your feet and be moving along with the locals in no time. Be aware when approaching intersections, and watch for people crossing the road and public transport vehicles.
  • A difficult part of driving in Trieste is the narrow streets and trying to navigate along roads with cars parked along the side. A couple of other problems include local drivers driving quickly and honking at other drivers, even when they're going the speed limit. Don't be deterred, just be aware that it might happen. Also, look out for younger people driving recklessly on scooters.
  • Book your rental car in Trieste at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Trieste are around 201% more expensive than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Trieste?

    As mentioned above, many of the roads throughout Trieste are incredibly narrow and many drivers park along the roads even with the limited space. With this in mind, stick to a car as small and compact as you can manage, to ensure you can navigate the streets. A few of the popular car hire choices in Trieste include Fiat 500, Mini Cooper, Renault Clio and Peugeot 208. Steer clear of the SUV and 4x4 ranges, no matter how hard others try to sell you on them. With the stop/start traffic due to the smaller roads, heavier cars use up a lot more fuel.

  • What’s the speed limit in Trieste?

    The speed limit when driving your Trieste car hire will be the same as the rest of Italy, as the laws are uniform across the country. When you're approaching the city along a major highway, stick to 130 km/h or below. If you're on a major road that isn't a highway, the speed limit will probably be 110 km/h, and the minor roads on the outskirts, closer to the built-up areas usually have a limit of 90 km/h. Once you're inside the city, pay attention to the street signs letting you know where you can and can't drive and stick to the general limit of 50 km/h.

  • Where are the best places to park in Trieste?

    Despite locals parking wherever they feel like it, having a car hire in Trieste means your vehicle will be targeted if you decide to do the same. A wise idea when parking in the city is to use a public car park and walk to where you need to be. If you find parking bays along the street with open parking, park there and make sure you pay the meter.

90 euro extra charge for an invisible mark on the car was a rip off. Shame on you.
