Car rental in Vicenza

As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Vicenza is a treasure trove of grand palazzos, elegant villas, and splendid churches. Don't miss out on famous attractions like the Basilica Palladiana, designed by renowned architect Andrea Palladio, or the Teatro Olimpico. The city is easily navigable by car, but do respect the speed limits (50km/ph in urban areas and as high as 130km/ph on motorways).

Here's a tip: A small or compact class vehicle is perfect for navigating through Vicenza’s narrow streets. As for parking, there's no need to worry. Vicenza offers numerous parking places around the city center. Note that parking might be charged after certain hours.

Vicenza’s Enchanting Surrounds

With your hired car, you can discover the beauty of surrounding cities like Verona and Venice. Just be aware of Italy's strict drink-driving laws. Also, be prepared for tolls during your driving trip. In Italy, it's customary to pay for motorway usage. The system is automatic, so no need to fumble about for change!

Climate and Currency

Vicenza showcases a Mediterranean climate. Prepare for hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, quite a change from the UK's variable weather. Italy uses the Euro as its official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always good to have some cash on hand for smaller establishments.

Enjoy the Italian Lifestyle

From the comfort of your hired car, you can also take a scenic drive to the nearby beaches of Lake Garda, or relax at a local vineyard savoring a glass of Veneto's famous Prosecco. Do remember the driving age in Italy is 18, and an International Driving Permit is required in addition to your UK driving license.

Arriving in Vicenza

Catch a flight to Marco Polo Airport in Venice or Verona Airport, from which Vicenza is easily accessible by car. Car rental outlets are available at the airport for immediate pick-up. For those who prefer to travel by rail, Vicenza has a centrally located train station.

So pack your bags, hire a car, and get ready for an enchanting adventure in Vicenza!
