When you leave for a vacation in Italy, unless your destination is a city that is very close and well connected to yours with the public transportation network, the plane will definitely be your first choice. Compared to the train, in fact, it allows you to take full advantage of your vacation days, especially if you are short on time. <\/p>\n

This choice, however, sometimes has negative implications because, once you arrive at your destination, you do not have the freedom of movement<\/strong> you would need to explore the surroundings of the point of arrival or places even farther away: beach trips are certainly the most glaring example of this type of situation, but the same applies to mountain resorts and even to Italian art cities, whose surroundings are often dotted with genuine hidden gems.<\/p>\n

Getting to these locations by public transportation alone is very often complicated, if not impossible. To your rescue, however, comes the option of renting an economy car<\/strong>: by resorting to this service, you will no longer have to give up any beach, any enchanted village perched on the hills; your every travel wish can be fulfilled in total accordance with your personal holiday rhythms and plans. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

How to choose an economy rental car<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What to do then, once you have booked your flight, to save money on car rental<\/strong>, especially if there are only two of you to share the expense? The advice is to go for the low-cost car<\/strong> models, i.e., the small cars available for rent from our car rental company. Compared to cars in the higher segment, these more compact models can be rented at much lower starting rates; however, their affordability is also about maintenance, because they are equipped with low-displacement engines that consume little on a mixed cycle and do not force constant stops for refueling. They are therefore perfect cars for those traveling alone<\/strong> or as a couple<\/strong>, but can also suffice for a family of 3 carrying a few small pieces of luggage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

By rentinga small car <\/strong>, the cost of the rental is amortized and you have more budget available for other vacation-related expenses: a cheap car rental<\/strong> that becomes even more convenient if you decide to forgo optional extras such as satellite navigation, resorting instead to maps from your smartphone. Despite the very low rates, cheap cars will not, however, force you to give up the essentials for your comfort, such as air conditioning and ISOFIX attachments for your children’s car seats, as well as a trunk that is still roomy for modest luggage and, above all, adequate insurance coverage to cover the most common damages. Consult the reservation system now to find out availability on the days you are interested: Locauto is present in all major airports in Italy<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To rent a category B or C car, you must be at least 19 years old and have held a valid category B driver’s license for at least one year.

You must also be a credit or debit card holder. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
