Van rental in Genoa

With so many things to see, including beaches, historic buildings and, of course, gastronomic tours of Ligurian specialties, so many travelers decide to rely on renting a car in Genoa, a choice that allows them to plan every stop in and out of the city with maximum freedom and thus save precious time to invest in sunbathing or exploring the beautiful villages of the Riviera di Ponente and Levante. Many factors intervene in the choice of car to rent, from the number of passengers to the amount of luggage carried, not to mention the level of comfort desired by travelers. In Locauto’s fleet, at the rental office on Via Casaregis in Genoa, you will find waiting for you a wide range of vehicles suitable for a variety of needs: from small hatchbacks suitable for juggling the city center to high-end sedans with elegant finishes and cutting-edge technological equipment for those who need a high-end representative car; then we have also thought about sportsmen, especially those who move around carrying bulky equipment – bikes, windsurfers or other – providing them with a wide choice of small, high-performance vans that combine responsiveness and interior space to perfection. Renting a car in Genoa with us is very simple: just choose the dates and times of your interest, select the reference office (the pick-up one may be different from the drop-off one) and immediately all the options available to you will be displayed. At this point it will be enough to choose the vehicle that best suits your needs and complete the online procedure in just a few steps.

The so-called Genoa Node is the place where as many as four highways intersect: the A7 that connects the city to Milan, the A10 that goes as far as Ventimiglia, the A12 as far as Rosignano Marittimo, and finally the A26 dei Trafori, which leads as far as Gravellona Toce. The Ligurian capital is thus well connected with the major locations in northern Italy as well as, for obvious reasons of geographical contiguity, with upper Tuscany. For those using the A10, currently the route from Genoa involves crossing the ordinary road system due to the collapse of the viaduct over the Polcevera stream. On the other hand, as far as travelers heading to the city center are concerned, we recommend that they consider renting an electric car: in Genoa, in fact, as in many other Italian capitals, it is possible to access the city’s ZTL zones without having to purchase any pass: there is only the obligation to register the license plate and apply for the appropriate sticker. For conventionally powered vehicles, on the other hand, the restriction affects the entire Porto Antico area east of Via Aurelia to Porta Soprana and, to the west, around Porta Siberia.

It is precisely the dynamics by which the city of Genoa came to be established as an independent republic that have also made the neighboring territory a place rich in testimonies of the utmost historical relevance; to these is added the charm triggered by the natural landscapes of western Liguria, dotted with splendid villages overlooking the sea, a privileged destination for all those from northern and central Italy who wish to take a few days’ break from the stress of the city. Those who know Liguria, however, know how complex it is to get around without a private car, accomplice to the geographical conformation of the region and the consequent fragmentation of public transport. Precisely for this purpose, Locauto has provided you with a car rental at Genoa airport where you can rent the vehicle best suited to your needs for a limited period of time or even on a long-term basis. Renting a car in Genoa will allow you to explore not only the city center, but also the villages and beaches that are just a stone’s throw away from the Ligurian capital, such as Camogli, Rapallo, Portofino, or move further to the French border, taking advantage of our other rental outlets in Liguria where you can choose to return, at the end of the trip, the rented vehicle. At Genoa Airport, we also provide a van rental service for those who need a larger vehicle to make a move, transport bulky sports equipment, or other similar needs.

Getting to and from Genoa’s Cristoforo Colombo Airport by car is very easy: thanks to the dedicated link road, it is possible to reach the city in a very short time; the same goes for the other locations on the two Rivieras, which are connected to the airport by an efficient highway system, as are the main capitals of Piedmont and Lombardy. From the city it is also possible to reach the airport by dedicated shuttles in just 30 minutes (terminus to terminus); transfer buses also stop at Genoa Principe and Genoa Brignole, allowing a quick exchange for travelers arriving in Genoa by train.
