Compact cars rental

During your vacation time in Italy, much of your enthusiasm may be depleted in the first few days by facing the endless delays of public transport that will make it impossible for you to stick to your original plans and get to all the places you wished to visit. Also, the complexity of handling a group of people’s transfers may make way to conflicts among you and your friends, completely ruining your time here. So how about sharing the cost of a short-term car rental together and finally be free to move far and wide, visiting all the places you’ve been dreaming about since you decided to travel to Italy? A mid-sized compact sedan could be the perfect solution for you and your best friends to travel: it’s roomier than an economy car, providing more boot space for your luggage and shopping bags and headroom for both driver and passengers, and has equally low running costs. At Locauto you will also find compact sedans with an automatic transmission configuration, which is more suitable for longer or demanding trips.

Hiring a mid-sized sedan in Italy

So sedan it is! But how to choose which one of our compact cars to hire? If you’re planning to spend most of your holiday in towns, then we suggest you going for a light and highly responsive downsized petrol engine with high horsepower for better pickup when the traffic light turns green or when you need to dive into congested roundabouts. Conversely, a diesel engine will best support you on out-of-town journeys, enabling a smoother running with less fuel waste. Locauto also offers you the advantage of choosing between manual and automatic transmission: the latter is particularly appreciated by travellers heading to the city, because it adds a little bit more of relax to driving and keeps the engine quieter.

The compact fleet is devised so to also meet the demands of the younger drivers: some of our sedans can be driven by people with less than a year’s driving experience thanks to the favourable weight/power ratio (in fact, the EU requires freshly licensed drivers to use only vehicles with less than 55 kW power per ton). So even if it’s your first travel alone, you will be able to enjoy the best vacation of our life with your friends with no limitations and get exactly where you wish to. Just be aware that your insurance policy will cost you a little bit more if you’re younger than 25 (especially if younger than 21). Please note that some of our mid-sized sedans can be booked via smartphone with our application Locauto Elefast and picked up without going through the rental desk: search for the orange box and icon on the rental cars list and complete the hiring process directly from your phone in just a few steps. Service is active 24/7 and covers all airport offices plus Venice downtown offices.
