SUV rental

One of the main complaints of non-Italian drivers when finding themselves hiring a car in Italy is that cars are smaller and less comfortable here than the cars they are used to driving. The perspective of driving along the streets of Milan or Rome with a small sized citycar makes our customers – especially the ones coming from the US - feel terribly uncomfortable and unsafe, even though those cars are actually pretty solid, reliable and comfortable. This is the reason why we decided to open up our fleet to a higher range of vehicles, including big-sized SUVs which are now among our car hire options. Renting a 4x4 SUV will give you the confidence you would lack with a sedan or a compact car, ensuring you also a perfectly sound-proof cabin and all-terrain versatility to face long or difficult journeys with no worries and no sacrifices at all in terms of cargo space.

Hiring an SUV in Italy

The reasons why to hire an SUV are multiple: these vehicles offer in fact greater cargo space than MPVs, sedans and most estate cars, so if you’re travelling with little children or if you are planning to rent bulky sports equipment or go camping, SUVs are certainly the best choice to accommodate your belongings and ensure them perfect protection overnight. Our choice of SUVs will also meet any of your safety demands: they indeed offer cutting-edge electronic stability control (ESC) functions, automatic braking systems and passenger airbags. Moreover, the steering wheel can always be adjusted as to fit the driver’s height and driving position; also the sitting height is generally very high so to ensure perfect street visibility.

The Stop&Start system, which is equipped on virtually every model of our fleet, will also enable you some savings on fuel consumption, especially if you will be hanging a lot in the city. All Locauto car rental offices offer you the chance of renting an SUV during your vacation or business time in Italy on a short term or long term base: all you need is a valid driving licence or driving permit and a credit card. We recommend you to check the availability of the vehicle on your appointed dates and book it now online to get the best deal on SUV rental; please note that some of our vehicles, including SUVs, are eligible for smart booking with our free App for iPhones (and Android devices as well) which will allow you to manage your booking entirely from your smartphone without evening dropping by at our desk!
