Pisa car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Pisa

• If you want to get the most out of your time in Pisa then renting a car is for you. One of the major reasons to rent a car during your time in Pisa is the lack of public transport options. Though there are city buses, they generally are slow and can’t be counted for frequent service -- especially once nighttime hits.
• If you are one of the many travelers planning on picking up your rental car after landing at Pisa International Airport, you can pick up your rental car in the rental car center adjacent to the airport. Shuttle buses depart from outside of the main terminal or you can simply walk, as it is a short distance.
• Pisa, like many other major tourism spots in Italy, features Limited Traffic Zones (ZTLs in Italian) in the city center. These zones are not open for normal traffic and are usually only accessible to residents who live and work there. Visitors to Pisa should keep this in mind when booking hotels and for when they plan itineraries in the city, as they may have to park the car and walk if their final destination is in a ZTL.
• Pisa does experience daily rush hour traffic, particularly during the work week. The morning rush hour usually starts at around 6:00 a.m. and lasts until 9:00 a.m. on work days. In the afternoon, the congestion picks up at around 4:00 or 4:30 p.m. and cools off at around 7:00 p.m. most evenings.
• Book your rental car in Pisa at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
