Car rental in Milan City Life

Renting a car in the Milan Corvetto area is a practical solution for quick access to some of the main interprovincial and interregional communication routes, such as the A1 highway, which connects Milan to Bologna and Rome, and the eastern ring road, which facilitates connections to surrounding areas. This decentralized location also allows you to conveniently explore the historic cities and natural beauty of Lombardy and neighboring regions. From Corvetto you can reach Lodi, a small historic city with a beautiful medieval center, in less than 30 minutes. If you love religious architecture, Lodi Cathedral and the Temple of the Incoronata are must-see stops. Continuing eastward, in about an hour’s drive you can reach Cremona, famous for its violin-making tradition and violin production, as well as its imposing Torrazzo, the tallest medieval bell tower in Italy. If, on the other hand, you wish to explore nature, the Ticino Park, located west of Milan, is easily accessible by car and offers an extensive area of woods and trails, ideal for a day trip. For a longer trip, you can instead push on to Lakes Como or Garda, both easily accessible from south Milan in about an hour and a half’s drive, via scenic roads that wind through picturesque villages and hills. The area south of Milan also offers the opportunity to easily visit Pavia, about 40 minutes away by car: this is a city rich in history and culture, whose major attraction is the splendid Certosa, a Renaissance monastic complex considered one of the masterpieces of Lombard art. In less than an hour from Milan you can also reach Piacenza, a city rich in art and history famous for its Renaissance palaces and Romanesque cathedral. If you’re planning a visit to the Milan Rho trade fair, if you’re traveling to the Milanese capital for work, or if you simply want to explore the surroundings of Milan without stressing about the traffic in the center, car rental in Milano Corvetto is the ideal choice to start your trip in a logistically smart way: enter your travel dates in the search engine on this page and find the vehicle that best suits your needs. You can book directly online and lock in the vehicle you’re interested in right away!

Our car rental in Milano Corvetto is located in close proximity to the subway station of the same name (yellow line). The Locauto parking lot is located on Via Polesine, just 100 meters from the office: this is where you will pick up and drop off your car.

Linate’s is one of Milan’s main suburban districts, a strategic point for traffic in and out of the city via Viale Forlanini and the freeway junctions that intersect right here. This area is home to many of the main medical centers and hospitals in the Milanese province (just to name a few: the Cardiologico Monzino, the San Donato polyclinic, the San Raffaele Hospital, and the cancer hospital), which attract professionals and private individuals every day to visit their loved ones. It is certainly a very lively area from the business point of view, also accomplice to its proximity to the Novegro fairgrounds and major international hotels, but it is also not lacking in interest from the entertainment point of view, especially due to the presence of Idroscalo park, where important fairs and concerts of national resonance are held every year, parks and numerous clubs with a retro flavor and intimate atmosphere.

Milan Linate is the metropolitan airport of the Milanese capital, the closest to the city center and therefore the most frequented by those who travel to Milan for work, as well as the most coveted by those who travel by plane for pleasure and who, having little time at their disposal, do not want to waste time in transfers to and from the airport. Renting a car at Linate airport is therefore the easiest way to optimize even better the time you have available and embark immediately, as soon as you get off the plane, towards your final destination, whether it is the center or a location in the province. At Locauto in Milan Linate you will find a wide range of vehicles for private and corporate use waiting for you: from us you can choose to rent any vehicle that meets your travel needs, from small cars to large SUVs, passing through family cars and minivans, for the time you need, from a few hours to many months. As a result, you will find at Locauto the rental formula best suited to you regardless of whether Milan brings you a touch-and-go of a few days or an ongoing – personal, business – commitment.

Milan Linate Airport is, as we mentioned, a short distance from the center of Milan, which can be reached by car through ordinary roads in about half an hour (the actual time will obviously vary depending on traffic). As a reminder, in order to access the city’s historic center, you need to be in possession of a daily, weekly or monthly pass, which can be conveniently purchased online at the Milan municipality website until midnight of the day following the day of entry. If Area C is your final destination, we recommend renting an electric car because it will give you free access to Milan’s downtown ZTL. On the other hand, you do not have to worry about the new Area B, as all the vehicles in the Locauto fleet comply with the latest regulations on pollutant emissions. Finally, we would like to remind you that Linate airport is located near the main freeway junctions that will allow you to reach Bergamo and Brescia, from Milan, in a very short time.

Milan Malpensa Airport is known to be the main international airport in Lombardy and the second in Italyfor passenger traffic after Rome Fiumicino. From this airport, located near the city of Varese, flights to Italy, the European Union and even intercontinental flights depart daily, as well as cargo flights that handle cargo traffic to and from our country. The airport consists of two terminals, connected by a free shuttle with rides every 7 minutes.Most domestic and international flights depart from Terminal 1, while Terminal 2 is used exclusively by the low-cost airline EasyJet.If you are planning to rent a car at Malpensa, we therefore recommend that you check in advance where your plane will land so that, once you have retrieved your luggage, you will be ready to move to the area of the airport from which you can continue your journey to the city of Milan or other destinations. You can save additional time by making the reservation of your rental car directly online and preparing all the required documents in advance: in this way you will find your car ready and waiting for you at the Locauto counter, where you can possibly elaborate on the terms of car drop-off and inquire about the opening hours of our rental offices.

Milan Malpensa’s strategic location makes this airport ideal for those traveling both to the Milanese capital and to other major cities in northern Italy and Ticino Switzerland. To reach Milan, once you leave Malpensa airport you must take state road 336, which, after a short stretch, connects back to the A8 highway that, without any detours, will allow you to arrive in Milan in a few dozen minutes.The exact time of the journey will vary, of course, depending on traffic conditions and the exact point in the city you need to reach: many travelers who stopover at Malpensa for business reasons head, for example, to the Rho Fiera area, which under regular traffic conditions can be reached in less than half an hour; to get to the eastern part of Milan (Lambrate, Città Studi, etc.) by taking the ring road, on the other hand, you will need about 45 minutes. However, the city’s main points of interest have ample parking facilities where you can store your rental car without spending a fortune.

Milan’s road system can be very chaotic for those unfamiliar with the city, so we recommend that you ask for your rental car with a satellite navigation system provided. If you are heading toward the historic center of the city, it will also point out the boundaries of the restricted traffic zone, called Area C, which you can still access by purchasing a ticket at the parking meters in the area, online or via SMS: there are both daily tickets and 30€ or 60€ scaled-down cards. If you forget to purchase the ticket, fear not: you can regularize your entry within 7 days of your first access by purchasing an increased 15€ ticket. As for the traffic blocks periodically reserved for the most polluting vehicles, on the other hand, you can rest assured, since, thanks to a special agreement with the car manufacturers, the Locauto fleet is renewed every 6 months and is therefore always in line with the latest regulations regarding CO2 emissions.Whether or not the center of Milan is your final destination, we recommend that you do not give up a tour of its streets: exhibitions, concerts, stores, restaurants dot every corner of this city with an international, frenetic and exciting breath. Having a private car at your disposal, you can enjoy it all at any time of day or night, avoiding the crowds and noise of public transportation.

As mentioned, Malpensa Airport is located northeast of Milan, near the border between Lombardy and Piedmont. Therefore, it is a perfect starting point to reach not only Milan, but numerous cities and towns of high artistic interest in both regions. Since most of these cities are connected to Milan by aging and unreliable railway lines, the use of a car is recommended to avoid unpleasant inconveniences and wasted time, whether one has business commitments or is traveling for pleasure. For this second category of travelers, after a refreshing stop at one of the many hotels near Malpensa, it will be possible to take a rental car and set out on a tour of the most beautiful cities of art and culture in the center-north: Renaissance Pavia, with its celebrated Certosa, can be reached from Malpensa in just over an hour, and if you are a fan of historic cars, along the way you can make a stop at Arese, where the brand new and exciting Alfa Romeo Museum is located. Should you feel in a shopping mood, one of Europe’s largest shopping malls is also located not far from the museum. To the east, the airport is separated by a little more than an hour’s drive from picturesque Ivrea; from here it is then possible to continue on to Turin by following the E612: in the Piedmontese capital you can always find interesting exhibitions and events as well as enviable food and wine offerings in any season.Toward the north, on the other hand, lovers of mountain and lake landscapes can head: from Malpensa airport it is possible to reach the most beautiful lakes in northern Italy, such as Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. The use of a car offers an undoubted logistical advantage in these cases as well, allowing one to reach areas that are less accessible by public transportation, climbing between the hairpin bends to enjoy breathtaking views and visiting all the villages that dot the lake ring. Just across the Swiss border, one can then immerse oneself in the splendid natural vistas offered by Lake Lugano. The latter city, separated from Zurich by just a 2-hour drive, has much to offer not only in terms of scenery but also in terms of cultural activities and nightlife, making it an excellent destination for those who, when choosing between metropolis and countryside, cannot decide which option to prefer.

Many tourists tend to think that Milan’s attractions are reduced only to the Duomo, with its attached Madonnina, the Sforza Castle and a handful of other historic buildings and museums. But Milan has a lot to offer outside the more well-known routes and, in some areas in particular, reveals truly unexpected sides of itself. In fact, let’s not forget that as much as one may be inclined to associate this city with the crush of public transportation and the grayness of smog, one need only move a little north of the city to encounter a completely different air, true havens of tranquility on the slopes of the mountains where it is possible to go trekking or lose oneself with one’s gaze in the thousands of reflections returned by the great lakes of these areas. It is a moment from here to reach the most beautiful areas of northern Lombardy, particularly Valchiavenna, with its enviable culinary tradition, majestic ski slopes and renowned spas. In short, north of Milan hides a world waiting to be discovered, a completely different reality from what we would expect to find so close to the Italian capital of industry and fashion: so if the city no longer holds any secrets for you, perhaps it is time to move on to a new side of Milan.

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 head, weather permitting, to the great green areas of eastern Piedmont and Ticino Switzerland. Locauto has two car rentals at Malpensa Airport, one at Terminal 1 and another at Terminal 2, the latter of which is used exclusively by the low-cost airline EasyJet, which operates cheap flights from the main regions of southern Italy and the islands. Car rental at Malpensa Terminal 2 therefore offers you the opportunity to rent a car to drive in Milan or its surroundings immediately after your landing, without having to waste time getting to Terminal 1 or the city center; moreover, if you feel like exploring the center and areas south of Milan as well, with Locauto you will have the opportunity to drop off the car at another one at your leisure among our car rentals in Milan – the most convenient according to your travel itinerary – at no additional cost: in addition to our two offices in Malpensa, we have car rentals at Central Station, Linate Airport, Corvetto and Romolo metro stations, and in Sesto San Giovanni, northeast of Milan.

Despite the enormous traffic problem that Milan is afflicted by, or perhaps because of it, the Milanese capital is one of the few large Italian cities at the forefront of traffic systems, thanks to the wide boulevards that surround the city and make it possible to reach its main nerve points in a short time. Two restricted traffic zones are currently in effect, one covering the historic center and the other the entire city of Milan: while the former (Area C) can be accessed with special paid passes, subject to the access criteria of the latter, the latter (Area B), was established to discourage polluting vehicles from entering the city: the restrictions concern LPG, gasoline and diesel vehicles of different environmental classes and will come into effect in progressive steps; however, all vehicles in the Locauto fleet are up to date with the latest European directives on emissions and are therefore exempt from Area B restrictions. As for Area C, the same regulations apply for rental cars as for private vehicles.

One of the most populous municipalities in the province of Milan, Sesto San Giovanni is being elected as a place of residence by more and more people who are tired of the inflated prices of Milanese rents but also of the traffic that, in the capital city, makes it impossible to move through the city in an acceptable timeframe. Being connected to the center of Milan by the red line of the subway, Sesto San Giovanni is also a convenient reference point for companies that can be conveniently reached by clients and employees by public transportation. There is also no shortage, throughout the town, of clubs and restaurants where one can spend, in the company of friends or colleagues, a pleasant after-work aperitif or dinner or attend a concert: in fact, there are many facilities in the area used for such events, such as the famous Carroponte, which every month welcomes internationally renowned artists belonging to the most diverse genres. The attractiveness, even in the evening, of Sesto San Giovanni therefore makes it a good destination both for people passing through and for those who are looking for a more or less stable abode from which they can quickly reach Milan or Monza, both of which are very close.

Renting a car in Sesto San Giovanni is a useful tool for all those people who, living or working here, need to move at times or on routes not served by public transportation conveniently and quickly, but without resorting to the use of a private vehicle, perhaps because a single car is used by several family members or because it is not considered convenient to purchase one considering the use they make of it. The rental contract can be made on a short or medium-term basis depending on one’s needs: once these are met, the vehicle will be returned and you will not have the thought of paying insurance, stamp duty and maintenance during the rest of the year. Our car rental in Sesto San Giovanni is also a convenient point of reference for those who decide to spend a weekend in the mountains or lakes north of Milan, cutting out of their commute, both outward and return, the center of Milan, a major contributor to travel delays. In our fleet you will find a wide variety of vehicles suitable for your most varied mobility needs, from small cars to SUVs, but if even these are not enough, you can turn to our van rental service in Sesto San Giovanni, ideal for removals or moves with heavy and bulky equipment (such as skis).

Locauto car rental in Sesto San Giovanni is located in close proximity to the Sesto Marelli stop on the MM1 (red) Milan subway line and is therefore easily accessible from the city by public transportation as well. Via Fiume, where our offices are located, is a side street of Viale Italia: from here you can quickly rejoin Viale Fulvio Testi in the direction of Milan or towards Monza and the freeway junctions to Venice, Turin and Varese. Our staff is at your disposal to suggest the quickest and easiest way to reach your destination, avoiding the most critical points for traffic during rush hours.

Frenetic, pulsating, constantly changing: Milan is a city full of stimuli for both lovers of unbridled shopping and lovers of art and craftsmanship, capable of satisfying the most diverse palates thanks to the wide range of the gastronomic sector, which ranges from the traditional to the ethnic, counting in its carniere numerous Michelin stars. If the universally recognized symbol of the city is its dazzling Gothic Duomo, Milan’s architectural identity is indeed extremely multifaceted: exquisitely Art Nouveau buildings alternate with ultra-modern spaces dedicated to exhibitions and displays. The latter are a major attraction for the many tourists, both Italian and foreign, who visit the Lombard capital every week. The center of Milan, the result of a mixture of the ancient and the modern, thus enhances the great entrepreneurial spirit of its citizens, who certainly cannot say they are bored in the shadow of the Madonnina, neither by day nor by night: it goes without saying that in such a bustling city, enthusiasm does not die down at sunset, when myriads of clubs, pubs, discos, and theaters light up with life until late at night.

The train finally arrives in the majestic glassed-in tunnel of Milano Centrale, the vastness of the tracks ending in a large platform that every day sees hundreds of travelers passing through on their way from the other provinces of Lombardy, Italy, and then again from Switzerland, Austria, and France. If for you, too, your journey begins here, you can continue it in the comfort of a private car by choosing to rent a car at Milano Centrale station with Locauto, the easiest way to avoid the crowds and wasted time of public transportation, especially if your journey takes you outside the urban circle, in the less served areas of the city and province, or if you have to make your movements at night, when it is more comfortable and safer to move around in a car. In the fleet of our car rental in Milano Centrale you will find vehicles of all kinds and categories: as for the traditional fuel vehicles, we guarantee their compliance with the requirements for access to the B zone of Milan. Some cars are then bookable through the Elefast service, which allows you to make the pick-up and drop-off of the vehicle in a completely self-service mode: find out on which vehicles the service is active by selecting the dates of your interest and remember that we have several other car rentals in Milan from which you can choose the most convenient for you as far as vehicle drop-off is concerned.

Our car rental in Milan’s Stazione Centrale is located inside the Galleria delle Carrozze, which can be reached by public transport (by subway: Milano Centrale stop on the green MM2 line and the yellow MM3 line) and by private transport (in fact, it is well connected with the ring roads and the Enrico Fermi, Fulvio Testi and Palmanova avenues, the main directions to the north/east hinterland of Milan).

The southwest area of Milan is certainly one of the most experienced by those who frequent the city for work or live there. Not only is it a residential neighborhood full of greenery, but it is also located in close proximity to the Navigli, the canals that in ancient times were used to navigate the countryside, similar to what still happens in Venice today. In this area, Milanese and non-Milanese frequently gather for a drink with friends or simply for a stroll along the Navigli, which at certain times of the year, particularly Christmas, are enlivened by colorful stalls where it is possible to buy local handicrafts and gastronomic products. There are also many clubs, museums, and concert halls that condense in the triangle formed by Viale Cassala, south of Milan, Porta Genova a little further north, and, towards the west, the Lorenteggio area, not to mention the important fashion companies and marketing agencies that bring a large influx of workers here. The area of Viale Liguria and Viale Cassala is then a privileged starting point for those, on the other hand, heading out of Milan, especially to Piedmont but also to other regions, as practically all the main arterial roads in northern and central Italy branch off from the outer ring road.

Renting a car in Milan Romolo, therefore, is a good way to quickly put yourself on the road to the main places of interest in northern Italy but also those in the city of Milan that are more difficult to reach using public transportation alone. A long-term rental can also represent, for those who are not willing to invest money in the purchase and maintenance of a car of their own, a good compromise to always have the car available in times of need or to avoid public transportation in the late hours. Short-term rental, on the other hand, can be useful at times when you need to move with your family for a weekend or longer trip, perhaps taking advantage of a vehicle that is more comfortable and more spacious than the one you own. In the Locauto fleet, for example, in addition to small city cars, there are also comfortable sedans and station wagons designed for traveling in company or with lots of luggage; an additional resource is represented by multi-space cars, vehicles that are also practical for those who, for example, carry bulky sports equipment: there are many, in fact, Milanese who travel outside the city during the weekend to regenerate in the pure air of the nearby mountains, bringing with them mountain bikes or camping tents, all objects that clearly, in a normal car, would not easily find a place or at any rate would greatly impair the driver’s view.

If you are arriving in Milan from outside the region, the A7 highway is the fastest way to reach us: just take the exit for “Milano Centro – viale Liguria,” follow to via Spezia and then turn left onto viale Liguria. Starting from our branch, the ring road is the quickest way to reach most of the destinations located outside the center of Milan, from San Siro to Viale Zara to Lambrate station. If, on the other hand, you are heading south, returning to Via Spezia will allow you to reach the Forum di Assago and the Milanofiori center in a very short time, and from there continue in the direction of Pavia, thus for Piedmont and Liguria. On the other hand, the traffic will become less smooth should you choose to cross the city of Milan from its interior: if, however, you have this need and are not familiar with the Milanese road system, we recommend that you add to your car’s equipment, if not included, a satellite navigator, which will be very useful, especially to avoid the borders of Area C and the new Area B, as well as to circumnavigate the many one-way streets in the center.

If what fascinates you most about Milan is its modern, innovative, metropolitan soul, that of CityLife, the brand-new shopping district in the northwest part of the city, is the place for you: just outside the historic center, in an area that is easily reached both by public transport and by car thanks to ample parking facilities, this district has given new life to the land on which the old Fiera Milano stood, which moved to the municipality of Rho a few years ago. Designed by internationally renowned architects, it combines the dizzying verticality of skyscrapers worthy of a sprawling metropolis with huge green spaces that include bicycle paths and reproduce the alternation of plains and hills typical of the region. This residential and commercial complex, a virtuous example of sustainability powered by renewable energy sources, also hosts an important congress center at which fairs related to the world of culture, fashion and design, the driving forces behind the economy of the Milanese capital, are often held. This is complemented by a wide range of stores and supermarkets that cater to the needs of young people as well as workers, at all times of the week.

Are you planning to spend a weekend in Milan for business or personal reasons and would like to take advantage of your own private vehicle with which to move to and from the city, even outside of public transportation operating hours? Don’t have a car of your own, but need the car to reach an airport, an out-of-region destination, or a poorly connected part of the city in the shortest possible time? Renting a car in Milan CityLife may be the solution for you precisely because it is an area that is easily accessible by transportation, from which you can then continue your journey with the car you will rent at Locauto CityLife’s new office. Always keep in mind that with Locauto you can take advantage of the possibility to pick up and drop off your car in different offices, even in different regions: this car rental near San Siro is therefore a point of reference, for example, for fans traveling to Milan for a soccer match or a concert at the Hippodrome, but also for those moving to and from Piedmont, as well as for representatives who are in town for a few hours, perhaps at a fair in one of the main commercial centers of the Lombard capital. It goes without saying, of course, the possibility of using the service also for those who live in Milan and do not have their own car at their disposal and need it for a limited period: our fleet of rental cars at the CityLife office is able to marry every need in terms of space, comfort and, of course, budget, thanks to three different mileage formulas and periodic offers that you can consult on the dedicated page of our website. Enter your details in the search engine on this page to calculate the prices for car rental in the San Siro area with Locauto and discover all the models available to you!

How to reach our car rental office in Milan City Life from the A8 highway? Continue to the city center, turn right at the Fiera Milano traffic lights onto Via Guglielmo Silva and then take the second right onto Via Sebastiano del Piombo. The office is 450 meters from the Amendola stop and 600 meters from the Lotto M1 and M5 stop. Also check our other rental offices in Milan to see which is the most convenient for you.
