Why rent a car in Venice?

Renting a car in Venice provides the flexibility to explore the Veneto region and beyond at your own pace. While Venice's historic centre is pedestrianised, having a vehicle allows you to visit nearby attractions such as the Prosecco wine region, the Dolomite Mountains, and the cities of Verona and Padua.

With a rental car, you can easily access the mainland areas of Venice, including Mestre and Marghera, where many accommodations and dining options are available. This convenience enhances your travel experience, offering a broader perspective of the rich cultural and natural landscapes surrounding Venice.

Car rental tips for Venice

  • Car rental agencies are available at Venice Marco Polo Airport and in Mestre. Booking in advance is advisable, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability and better rates.
  • Be aware of ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) zones in many Italian cities, including nearby towns. These restricted traffic areas are monitored by cameras, and unauthorised entry can result in fines.
  • Familiarise yourself with Italian road signs and driving customs. For example, flashing headlights often indicate that a driver intends to overtake. Also, note that fuel stations may have limited hours, especially in rural areas.
  • Consider renting a GPS or ensuring your mobile device has a reliable navigation app, as road signs can be in Italian, and some rural areas may have limited signage.

FAQs about renting a car in Venice

What is the recommended car type/category?

A compact or economy car is recommended for navigating the narrow streets and limited parking spaces in Italian towns and cities. If planning trips to the mountainous regions like the Dolomites, consider a vehicle with more power and stability, such as a mid-sized saloon or SUV.

What are the parking options?

Parking in Venice's historic centre is not permitted. Visitors can park at Piazzale Roma or the Tronchetto parking island. Piazzale Roma offers several parking garages, while Tronchetto provides ample parking spaces with easy access to the city via the People Mover or vaporetto.

What's the speed limit?

In Italy, the speed limits are as follows: 130 km/h (81 mph) on motorways, 110 km/h (68 mph) on main roads outside urban areas, 90 km/h (56 mph) on secondary roads, and 50 km/h (31 mph) within city limits. Always observe local signage, as limits can vary.
