9 & 7 Seater Car Rental Florence Airport

Florence Car Hire Highlights

Florence is the jewel of Tuscany and the birthplace of the Renaissance. The Duomo’s terracotta dome rising above the rooftops, Michelangelo’s David in the Galleria dell’Accademia, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus in the Uffizi. Few cities pack so much art and beauty into so small a footprint.

Florence Airport (FLR) sits just 5 km north-west of the city centre, making it an easy pick-up point for families. As with most historic Italian cities, the centro storico is best explored on foot, but the real value of a 7 seater here is in the Tuscan countryside that surrounds the city. Within an hour you can be in the Chianti hills, at the foot of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or wandering the medieval streets of Siena. A larger vehicle also gives you space for families and luggage on longer drives to the Cinque Terre and Bologna, and the flexibility to stop freely at vineyards, hill towns and viewpoints along the way.

Tuscany rewards travellers who slow down. Pull off the autostrada for a long lunch at a roadside trattoria, taste the Sangiovese at a Chianti winery, then wind back into Florence as the lights come on over the Arno. There’s a reason this part of Italy has been on bucket lists for generations.
