Car Rental - Hertz Autonoleggio - Verona Aeroporto

Home to Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers and an astonishing 2,000-year-old Roman Arena, Verona is a fascinating place to visit. Sitting on the western side of Italy’s Veneto region, the city is famed for its food as the birthplace of tiramisu.

As well as being an attractive and historically important town, Verona’s medieval streets are filled with many smart stores and great restaurants, making it one of Italy’s most appealing destinations. And what better way to explore the city than with your very own car rental?

Whether you’re after a business or holiday car rental, , you’ll find plenty of options to choose from in the Hertz fleet. Our car rental location at Verona Airport is also just under 10 miles south-west of the historic old center (centro storico) and right next to the junction of the A4 Milan-Venice and A22 Modena-Brenner freeways, making it the perfect base for your trip.

Renting a car from us is hassle-free. There are no hidden extras or credit card fees to pay and with our best price promise, we’ll refund the difference if you find cheaper Hertz car rental in Verona.

Verona’s historic center is a Zona a Traffico Limitato (ZTL) – a restricted traffic area. This means you need a permit in order to enter the zone in your rental car. The area is monitored by cameras, and fines are issued if you enter one of these zones without a permit. ZTL areas are signposted with a red circle on a white background.

Parking spaces in the city center are limited, so it’s advisable to use one of the public parking lots that are dotted around the center. There’s also a large parking lot on Piazza Cittadella, close to the Arena, which is a perfect place to park up your car rental. From here it’s only a 10-minute walk to Piazza delle Erbe (Market’s Square).

Renting a car is essential if you want to get out and experience the beauty of the Veneto region. Our Verona Airport car rental desk is ideally located for visiting nearby Lake Garda, which is only 20 miles west along the A4. About 20 miles south of the airport, via the non-toll SS62, stands the lovely town of Mantua.

As in the rest of continental Europe, Italians drive on the right-hand side of the road. Italian highways are called autostrade, and prefixed with an A. These roads are all toll roads and are indicated by green signs. It’s a good ideal to familiarize yourself with the driving rules in Verona before picking up your car rental.

Additionally, the speed limit on autostrade is 130km/h (80mph) and outside built-up areas it’s 90km/h (55mph). If you’re driving your rental car around Verona or a neighboring city, the speed limit is likely to be 50km/h (31mph), but, as always, make sure to check the road you’re traveling on to be sure.

Verona’s historic center is enclosed within the ancient city walls, its narrow streets lined with art-filled museums, handsome palazzi, frescoed churches, designer boutiques and a wealth of different restaurants. It's easy to spend all your time here, but don’t miss out on seeing the beautiful Veneto region.

Enjoy a night at the opera

Verona was an important Roman town and is rich in archaeological sites. The grandest of these is the Roman arena, on Piazza Brà. Home to the city’s world-famous summer opera festival, the arena was built in the first century, 50 years before the Colosseum in Rome. It was one of the biggest amphitheaters in the Roman Empire, with seating for 30,000 people, and is best seen during an operatic performance.

See Juliet’s balcony

Just a15-minute drive from our Verona Airport car rental desk, is the spectacular 14^th-century Castelvecchio Museum an old castle – which houses a diverse collection of statuary, frescoes and medieval art.

After a morning soaking up the history of the area, take your car rental for a spin to Piazza delle Erbe, once the Roman Forum and now the beating heart of the city. Make a quick pit stop at one of the surrounding cafes before exploring the stores dotted all around.

Just off the square is the ever-popular Juliet’s House, with its much-photographed balcony – said to have inspired Shakespeare in his writing of Romeo and Juliet. Wander the area, posing for pictures with one of the world’s most iconic sights in the background. There’s even a large bronze statue of Juliet to admire.

Get the best view in town

Towering over Piazza delle Erbe is the 300-foot-high Torre dei Lamberti, which affords panoramic views of Verona. Don’t worry if you can’t face the climb to the top, as an elevator will take you up two-thirds of the way. This incredible structure was created in the 12^th century by the Lamberti family and houses two bells.

Below the tower is the Romanesque Palazzo della Ragione, home to the wonderful Gallery of Modern Art. Don’t miss the stunning Cappella dei Notai (Chapel of Notaries), which is full of 17^th- and early 18^th-century frescoes.

Shop ‘til you drop

Verona is a shopper’s paradise, with dozens of designer stores, chic boutiques and mouth-watering delis tucked away in the centro storico. A good place for fashion and funky gifts is Corso Porta Borsari, which runs north-east from Porta Borsari to Piazza delle Erbe, changing its name to Corso Sant’Anastasia along the way.

Running straight through the heart of the old town, from Piazza Brà to Piazza delle Erbe, is Via Mazzini, an elegant pedestrian street lined with stylish fashion and jewelry stores.

Explore the shores of Lake Garda

Only a short drive from the Hertz Verona Airport car rental lot are the sparkling waters of Lake Garda, whose beautiful shores are lined with the holiday villas of the rich and famous.

The spa resort of Sirmione, standing on a slender peninsula on its southern shore, is famous for its much-photographed medieval castle and very rare, fortified port.

At its northern tip is the Grotte di Catullo, a ruined 1^st-century Roman villa – the largest domestic Roman villa in northern Italy. From its terraced hillsides enjoy unparalleled views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Another recommended lakeside destination is the 2,000-year-old Villa Romana, a short walk from the Desenzano del Garda ferry landing stage, and well worth seeking out for its colorful mosaics as well as its spectacular location.
