SIXT car rental in Italy

With branches throughout Italy, including at major airports and in downtown areas, SIXT has you covered. Whether you want a convertible to zip around the beaches in the south or an SUV to explore the mountains in the north, we’ve got you covered.

From the canals of Venice to the beaches of Bari, Italy has plenty of places to explore. A car rental in Italy from SIXT will allow you to road trip between your desired destinations with comfort and ease.

Driving Tips for Italy

Your adventure begins as soon as you pick up your rental car in Italy. To help your trip go as smoothly as possible, keep these tips and tricks in mind:

  • Manual vs. automatic: Manual cars are more common in Italy, but SIXT also has automatic vehicles available.
  • ZTL: Limited traffic zones will be marked with signs that say “ZTL.” This means you can only drive in these zones if you have a specific permit. These zones are more common in heavily populated urban areas.
  • Local drivers: Italians are known for their confidence and speed behind the wheel. This may differ from the driving style you’re used to, so always be alert and aware of drivers around you.
  • Sharing the road: In rural areas, it’s likely that you’ll be sharing the road with cyclists. In urban areas, you may be sharing the road with pedestrians, mopeds, and trams.

With our tips for driving a car rental in Italy, your experience can be a breeze.

Best places to visit in and around Italy

  • With a rental car in Italy from SIXT, you have the freedom and flexibility to explore everything the country has to offer. Take a road trip around northern Italy, visiting the unique city of Venice, relaxing on the shores of Lake Como, and exploring the high-end shops of Milan. Just a few hours south by car, you’ll find Florence, known for its art, history, and fantastic Florentine cuisine. You can also take a day trip to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
  • You can also explore Rome and visit Vatican City, the seat of the Catholic Church and home to the Pope. Your rental car will also allow you to take day trips; for example, Rome is just a short drive from Tuscany, the Italian wine region.
  • Those interested in a beach vacation can head to Naples or the picturesque Amalfi Coast, or you can go even further south to Sicily. These iconic destinations and more are waiting for you when you opt for a SIXT car rental in Italy.

Great pricing; very friendly staff (English was very good). I got full coverage to be safe - broke down with a flat wheel on the highway and called Sixt, they sorted everything so it was no hassle whatsoever. Would like to give a huge thank you to Marcello and Alex at Perugia Airport, Italy for their help in this situation fantastic service.
