Car Rental at Florence Airport - Gateway to Tuscany

Located just a few minutes' drive from the city center, Florence Airport (officially known as Amerigo Vespucci Airport) is a modern international air transportation hub that serves Florence and a large portion of the surrounding Tuscany region. Several major European airlines operate from FLR, including British Airways, KLM, Alitalia, Iberia, and Air France, with the airport serving around 300,000 passengers every month. Being so close to the heart of Florence, the airport is very well serviced by the city's extensive public transport system, a popular choice being line T2 of the local tram service which runs between the airport and Santa Maria Novella rail station every day from early morning until late at night with a journey time of around 20 minutes. It is also easily accessible by car using the Viale Alessandro Guidoni and Firenze Nord/Firenze Mare (A1 and A11) thoroughfares.

Famed for its magnificent works of art, mouth-watering food and unparalleled architecture, Tuscany's many unique sights continue to attract visitors from all over the world, many of whom are drawn by the masterpieces of Michelangelo, who was born in the village of Caprese an hour's drive away. There are so many things you won't want to miss whilst in Florence, such as the chance to climb the cathedral's 463 steps to enjoy the sweeping city views from the top, or marvel at Botticelli's original version of the Birth of Venus on display at the Uffizi Gallery. Italy has many remarkable statues, but the most famous of them all is Michelangelo's David which is featured at the Galleria dell'Accademia in the center of Florence. And for a prize-winning photo of the iconic Ponte Vecchio, stand on Ponte Santa Trinita (or anywhere along the Arno) just as the sun is setting over the city and you'll be the envy of all your friends back home!

For many travelers, Florence is the natural gateway to Tuscany and the perfect base from which to explore one of the most scenic parts of Italy. Picking up your car rental from Florence Airport is a great option for travelers looking to combine the benefits of being close to Florence while having quick and easy access to the many things to see and do in the surrounding areas. For instance, Pisa (with its amazing leaning tower) is less than a two-hour drive west of Florence, plus the ancient city of Siena (renowned for its stunning Gothic cathedral) lies just 75 kilometers to the south. The ultimate road-trip from Florence is the leisurely drive to the five picturesque villages of Cinque Terre perched high on the cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea, passing the charming walled city of Lucca en route.

Travel tips for renters in Florence

There are several considerations to take into account when renting a car at Florence Airport, most notably the final price you pay, out-of-hours drop-off timetable, car hire coverage, and the possibility of a one-way vehicle rental if you need to leave the vehicle in a different place to where you collected it. Auto Europe has further simplified the booking process by creating a series of useful articles on every aspect of planning your Florence travel itinerary, with the answers below ranging from International Driver's Permits to which kind of car rental insurance you will require for your trip.

Italy Car Rental Age Requirements - When you rent a car at Florence Airport, you will find that the minimum age to be able to collect the vehicle is generally 18 years old, although a number of local rental companies may have a higher minimum age such as 21 or even as high as 25. Please note that drivers under the age of 25 will most probably incur a Young Driver's Surcharge which is payable at the time of picking up the car at the departure point. It's also important to always make sure that you have fully read the terms and conditions relating to your booking prior to arriving to collect your vehicle.

Florence Car Rental Insurance - The good news is that in Florence, all car rental rates with Auto Europe include the minimum amount of legally-required Third-Party Liability Insurance (TPL) which protects against injury or property damage caused to others while driving. However, to minimize the risks during your visit to Florence and the beautiful Tuscany region, it's always best to pay a little more for additional coverage. Please consult our in-depth car rental coverage guide for more information on this important subject.
