KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Padua
- Car rental in Padua offers numerous advantages. It provides the freedom to explore not only the city but also the beautiful surrounding areas at your own pace. With a car, you can easily visit nearby attractions, such as the stunning Villa Pisani in Stra or the historic town of Vicenza. Public transport may not reach some of these locations, making a hired car the ideal choice for convenience and accessibility.
- At Padua's major airport, Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), Padua car hire offices can be found in the dedicated car hire area, located just outside the Arrivals Hall. Venice Marco Polo Airport provides a shuttle service that takes passengers from the Arrivals Hall to the car hire offices. It's important to check the specific car hire provider's location and shuttle service details in advance to ensure a smooth pickup process. If you arrange your booking online, most car companies will have a representative meet you in the Arrivals Hall.
- When driving in Padua, be aware of limited traffic zones (ZTL) in the city centre. These areas are restricted to authorised vehicles, and entering without permission may result in fines. Several of these low-traffic zones have nearby parking spots or a Park and Ride service that you can park at and use public transport to and from. Pay attention to road signs indicating ZTLs and follow alternative routes if you are not authorised. Additionally, be cautious of pedestrians, especially in crowded areas and near pedestrian crossings.
- Padua, like many Italian cities, experiences peak-hour traffic congestion between 07:30 - 09:30 and 17:30 - 19:30. The city centre, particularly around Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori, can become congested. It's advisable to plan your travel accordingly and consider alternative routes during these times. In terms of seasons, winter snowfall is infrequent in Padua, but if you plan to drive in nearby mountainous areas, it is important to be prepared for potential snowy conditions. Most companies offering car rental in Padua will have snow tyres as an offering during the winter months. If you're travelling in mountainous areas, ensure you have the right insurance coverage.
- Book your rental car in Padua at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Padua are around 87% cheaper than other car types, on average
