Rent to Lamezia Terme
When people think of Calabria, they mainly associate it with the sea, its beautiful beaches, and the nightlife in cities like Soverato and Montepaone Lido. But the Catanzaro area, thanks to its unique geological features and millennia-old history, offers an extremely diverse natural and cultural landscape that deserves to be explored in depth. First and foremost, there are countless archaeological sites scattered throughout the province: just think of the castle in Squillace, the ancient village of Curinga, or the Neolithic site at Cardinale; just a few kilometers from Catanzaro, you can also visit the small hamlet of Roccelletta di Borgia, an unspoiled paradise where—in its cobblestone streets, aqueducts, thermal baths, and theater dating back to the first century B.C.—numerous traces of ancient Roman rule can be found. Catanzaro is also distinguished by a narrow valley about 30 km long that connects the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts, as well as by its proximity to the Sila National Park: the latter encompasses three of Calabria’s five provinces, is 80% forested, is rich in rivers and lakes, and is home to an incredibly diverse array of flora and fauna, sharing many similarities with alpine environments.
Lamezia Terme Airport is undoubtedly the preferred arrival point for most tourists coming to Catanzaro and its province who plan to spend their vacations in Calabria: it is, in fact, the region’s main airport and one of the most important in southern Italy. Flights arrive there from all of Milan’s airports, Rome Fiumicino, Bologna, Treviso, and many other international airports, making it a convenient hub for all Italian and European travelers heading to the province of Catanzaro. Lamezia Terme Airport is, in fact, the closest airport to Calabria’s second-largest city: Renting a car at Lamezia Terme Airport will allow you to reach Catanzaro in just half an hour by car and visit the main coastal towns with complete freedom, for a great road trip adventure in Calabria with your family, significant other, or friends. This is a practical choice not only for those who decide to spend their vacations in this beautiful region, but also for the many Calabrians who live in other parts of Italy and return here for the holidays but don’t feel up to making the long drive in their own car from their city of residence. Locauto also lets you plan your travels with greater flexibility: if you decide to make the return trip by car instead of by plane, you can return the car to a different office than the one where you picked it up; this way, you can take home as much Calabrian wine, pastries, and cheese as you’d like, without the weight restrictions you’d face on a flight. And if you’re looking for a low-cost car rental in Lamezia Terme, simply select the vehicle that best fits your budget; if you plan to drive mainly within the city or just a few dozen kilometers each day, the electric vehicles in our fleet will perfectly meet your needs. Check our website to find the Locauto office nearest you and book the vehicle of your choice right away: Locauto in Lamezia Terme also offers a van rental service!
The Lamezia Terme Airport is located on the western coast of Calabria, about 36 km from the city of Catanzaro: to get there, simply follow State Road 280 dei Due Mari/E848, which will take you to your destination in about half an hour by car. If you’d like to visit downtown Lamezia Terme, you can take a short detour along the way (it won’t take more than 20 minutes each way): in this town of about 70,000 residents, you’ll find numerous archaeological sites dating back to the Neolithic, ancient Roman, and medieval periods, as well as churches and sanctuaries built between the 1200s and the 1700s. From Lamezia Terme Airport, you can also quickly reach some of the most beautiful beaches along the Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts, such as Amantea, Tropea, or Roccelletta.
