Rent to Milan
Many tourists tend to think that Milan’s attractions are limited to the Duomo, along with the Madonnina, the Sforza Castle, and a handful of other historic buildings and museums. But Milan has much to offer beyond the well-trodden paths, and in certain areas in particular, it reveals truly unexpected sides of itself. Let’s not forget, in fact, that while we may be inclined to associate this city with crowded public transportation and the gray haze of smog, you need only travel a short distance north of the city to encounter a completely different atmosphere—true havens of tranquility on the mountain slopes where you can go hiking or lose yourself in the countless reflections on the large lakes of this region. From here, it takes just a moment to reach the most beautiful areas of northern Lombardy, particularly Valchiavenna, with its enviable culinary tradition, majestic ski slopes, and renowned spa resorts. In short, north of Milan lies a world waiting to be discovered—a reality completely different from what one would expect to find so close to Italy’s capital of industry and fashion. So if the city holds no more secrets for you, perhaps it’s time to explore a new side of Milan.
If you want to explore the area north of Milan in comfort, Milan Malpensa Airport is definitely the perfect arrival point for you. From here, you can rent a car and explore the mountains, lakes, and cities of northern Lombardy, and then—if time permits—head toward the vast green spaces of eastern Piedmont and the Ticino region of Switzerland. Locauto has two car rental locations at Malpensa Airport—one in Terminal 1 and another in Terminal 2, the latter used exclusively by the low-cost airline EasyJet, which operates budget flights from the main regions of southern Italy and the islands. The car rental location at Malpensa Terminal 2 therefore allows you to rent a car to drive in Milan or the surrounding area immediately after landing, without having to waste time traveling to Terminal 1 or the city center; Furthermore, if you’d like to explore downtown Milan and the areas south of the city, with Locauto you’ll have the option to return the car to any of our other car rental locations in Milan—whichever is most convenient based on your travel itinerary—at no additional cost: In addition to our two locations at Malpensa, we have car rental offices at the central train station, Linate Airport, the Corvetto and Romolo metro stations, and in Sesto San Giovanni, northeast of Milan.
Despite the enormous traffic problem plaguing Milan—or perhaps precisely because of it— Milan is one of the few major Italian cities at the forefront of traffic management systems, thanks to the wide expressways that surround the city and allow drivers to reach its main hubs quickly. Currently, there are two restricted-traffic zones in effect: one covering the historic center and the other covering the entire city of Milan. While the first (Area C) can be accessed with special paid passes—subject to the access criteria for the second— the second (Area B) was established to discourage polluting vehicles from entering the city: the restrictions apply to LPG, gasoline, and diesel vehicles of various environmental classes and will take effect in progressive phases; All vehicles in the Locauto fleet, however, comply with the latest European emissions standards and are therefore exempt from Area B restrictions. As for Area C, the same regulations apply to rental cars as to private vehicles.
Locauto Rent is a 100% Italian company that has been operating in the car rental market since the late 1970s.
