Rent a Potenza

Potenza, nestled in the green national parks of Basilicata and halfway between Salerno and Matera, is a destination rich in history, culture and culinary delights. Its city center is dominated by the majestic Cathedral of St. Gerard, an imposing structure dating back to the 13th century whose interior is adorned with breathtaking frescoes and works of art. From the cathedral, the traditional tour of Potenza will take you strolling through the cobblestone streets of Via Pretoria and Via del Gallitello, filled with quaint stores, cozy cafes and artisanal ice cream parlors. If your passion, on the other hand, is history, you can’t miss the National Archaeological Museum of Basilicata. Here you can admire a vast collection of ancient artifacts that testify to the richness and diversity of the region’s history, from prehistoric art to Roman times. But Potenza is also famous for its traditional cuisine: to regain your energy after climbing its many stairs, try the famous pasta alla potentina, topped with local sausage and peppers, or savor the area’s delicious cheeses and cured meats, washing them down with a glass of Aglianico del Vulture, a fine wine produced in the nearby hills. For a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, on the other hand, head to the belvedere in Mario Pagano Square: from here you can admire the enchanting profile of Potenza embraced by the mountains dotted with white in the winter months, and enjoy one of the region’s most striking sunsets.

Having a car available during your visit to Potenza will allow you to explore some of the surrounding wonders in a practical and convenient way. If you don’t have one, or your vehicle doesn’t fit your itinerary and/or transportation needs, however, you can take advantage of the car rental service with Locauto in Potenza, a versatile solution that will allow you to easily reach enchanting destinations in the surrounding area. Some examples of destinations that can become within your reach thanks to a rental car? A short distance from Potenza you will find the charming town of Melfi, famous for its imposing Norman-Swabian castle. This imposing fortress is a true architectural gem and offers spectacular views of the surrounding valley. With a rental car from Potenza you can reach Melfi in less than an hour and discover its thousand-year history. Another unmissable destination is Castelmezzano, a charming medieval village located among the majestic Lucanian Dolomites. With its narrow cobbled streets and stone houses, it seems almost straight out of a fairy tale. You can hike the famous “Dolomites of the South” via an adventurous via ferrata walk that will give you spectacular views. Again, renting a car will greatly reduce the time it takes to reach your destination. As we said before, then, Potenza is located not far from Matera, from which separates it, as the crow flies, about 90 kilometers, corresponding to an hour’s drive. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Matera is famous for its Sassi, ancient dwellings carved into the rock that form a fascinating maze of streets and caves: explore the picturesque alleys, visit the rock churches and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this thousand-year-old city! Renting a car in Potenza also gives you the flexibility to explore the beautiful countryside of Basilicata. You can visit charming villages such as Tursi, with its famous 15th-century mosque, or Craco, an ancient abandoned town that seems suspended in time. These hidden gems are easily accessible by car and will allow you to discover the true soul of the region. Discover now the freedom, convenience and flexibility that only a road trip can give you. Do it with Locauto, taking advantage of the fabulous offers on car rental in Potenza: use the search engine on this page right now to check the vehicles available on the dates you are interested in, select the one best suited to your needs from a wide range of top-of-the-line vehicles, and book your tailor-made rental in just a few clicks!

The Locauto office in Potenza is also easily reached on foot: in fact, it is only 550 meters from the central station, which can be covered in about 6 minutes using the underpass to Viale del Basento. If, on the other hand, you are moving by private vehicle and are arriving from the A2, the exit to take is Potenza Sicignano degli Alburni; then follow the E847 to the Potenza centro / Viadotto dell’industria exit and to Viale del Basento, Via della Chimica.
