Rent to Venice
There’s no shortage of good reasons to visit the Pearl of the Lagoon, no matter the season. The first thing that comes to mind is certainly Carnival: a world-famous event that, for a few days, transforms Venice into a multicolored painting of masks and historical costumes. But the capital of the Veneto region is just as visually stunning even when it isn’t swamped by swirls of confetti: in fact, the winter humidity and the fog rising from the canals lend it, even in the depths of winter, a mysterious aura full of charm—one you can fully enjoy by booking a gondola ride or taking the vaporetto to the islands of Burano and Giudecca. Venice is, however, also a major city of art that captivates visitors not only with its hidden corners but also with its historic architectural heritage, such as the Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Bell Tower, and the Bridge of Sighs. Not to mention all the places you can visit in the surrounding area: Caorle with its lagoon, Lido di Jesolo with the lush green landscape at the mouth of the Piave River, and then Chioggia—the “little Venice”—Bibione, and the markets of Cavallino and Treporti, which will immerse you in the area’s ancient rural traditions.
In Venice and its surroundings, then, there’s so much to see: if all else fails, you can always take refuge in a tavern to enjoy a delicious plate of baccalà or another of the many (and absolutely delicious!) dishes of Venetian cuisine, washing it all down with excellent prosecco and grappa. Of course, you can also get to Venice by car, even though boats are the most popular way to get around here; however, if you want to venture beyond the center of Venice to other parts of the province, renting a car can be very helpful. Upon arrival in the city, you can leave your car in one of the many parking lots located at the end of the Ponte della Libertà and then pick it up whenever you want to explore the city’s surroundings; leaving your car in Mestre is certainly less expensive, but you’ll have to take the train into the lagoon. With Locauto, you can rent a car at Venice Airport or Mestre Station, choosing the vehicle that best suits your needs in terms of space, luxury, and performance: our fleet includes compact cars, minivans, station wagons, as well as SUVs and crossovers.

Venice’s Marco Polo Airport is just 13 kilometers from the city center and is therefore the ideal arrival point for travelers coming from other cities in northern, central, and southern Italy who prefer to fly rather than take the train or bus: the airport system, which includes the airports in Venice and Treviso, ranks third among Italian airport hubs—behind Rome and Milan—in terms of passenger traffic. Getting to the city center from here is very quick: in fact, it takes less than 20 minutes, traffic permitting, to reach the Tronchetto parking lot, one of the main transfer points for drivers heading to Venice. Along the way, you can stop at San Giuliano Park for a picnic or a leisurely walk through the greenery while taking in the view of the lagoon. In less than an hour from the airport, you can reach Padua, Chioggia, and many other well-known destinations in the Veneto region.

Always bustling with tourists, the Rialto Bridge, along with the Bridge of Sighs, is a destination for romantic walks in Venice, among the calli and campielli, going up the Grand Canal.
