Car Hire Reviews

Marcus Howson

Second time visiting Italy in August, first time hiring a car, and it won’t be the last time! The compact Peugeot 107 was perfect for driving through Rome’s bustling streets.

Matthew Brooks

Hired a car in Italy in September, and getting around was so easy. The Audi A1 made both driving in Rome and navigating nearby narrow hilly routes to visit local vineyards a doddle.

Ciara Elliott

Hired a Seat Arona for our family trip to Italy this summer. There was more than enough room in the car for me, my husband, our two kids, our luggage, and of course lots of souvenirs.

Anne Noel

Our visit to Italy in winter was made so much better by hiring a car. The drive to our ski resort was so easy thanks to the BMW X1 we hired and we felt so safe on the icy roads.

Jackie Barnes

When we visited Italy this October for our ruby anniversary with our family, we hired a Mercedes Vito. It was perfect for ferrying everyone around, and saved hiring several different cars.

Cristina Gomez

This is the first time I have visited Italy as a solo traveller in the summer, and hiring a car elevated my experience thanks to the freedom it gave me to travel where and when I want on my terms.

Dani Alvarez

My trip to Italy in April was made so much better by hiring a Ford Fiesta. It made the road trip from Milan to Rome via Pisa fly by, and was such a smooth drive.

Kim Ha-Joon

This summer was my first visit to Italy, and I hired a Fiat 500. It was a dream to drive, perfect for navigating the tricky city centre roads as well as the country’s major highways.

Carl Dobson

Rented a BMW 5 Series when I visited Italy with my family this August. It made the whole trip so much better, there was plenty of room for everyone in the car and we were able to travel on our own terms.

Danielle Cox

Booked a last-minute weekend in Italy in November and made the decision to hire a car. The Fiat Panda was perfect for my partner and me, and made city driving really easy.

Briony Short

Before visiting Italy in May, I was unaware of the benefits that hiring a car (VW T-Roc) could bring. It was so much easier to tackle the narrow mountain roads and enabled us to see so much more of the country than we would’ve been able to see if we hadn’t hired one.

Raphael Simon

Visited Italy in January with my wife, and we hired a Nissan Leaf. It made our West Coast trip so much easier, and there were plenty of charging points along the way. Highly recommend.

Alex Green

Came to Italy for a long weekend in October with my partner, and we hired a car for our visit. The freedom and flexibility we had from the moment we picked up our car at Milan Airport was so good – I definitely recommend hiring a car if you plan on visiting Italy anytime soon.

Kelly Pearson

First-time visitor to Italy, and first-time car hirer. I opted for an automatic Toyota Yaris when I visited this December, and this made navigating Milan’s busy roads almost completely stress-free. It did the job for me and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire a car again.

Todd Walker

Normally used to a large pickup at home, but as it was just me visiting Italy this March, I chose to go for a smaller car – and I’m so glad I did. The narrow streets of Naples were easy to drive through in the Fiat Panda that I rented.

Georgino Bettinelli

On a recent visit to Olbia, I hired a Peugeot 108, which was perfect for driving around the island. I would definitely recommend this car if you visit Olbia.
