Perugia car hire

A compact economy vehicle is ideal for short trips in and around Perugia. It’ll make the narrow roads much more accessible. If you’re travelling up into the hills, something with more power might be better suited, like a saloon or SUV. Of course, you can always opt for a convertible and hit the lakes in true Italian style.

The speed limit in built up areas of Perugia is 50km/h (30mph). When you head out to more rural areas, it’s usually 90km/h (56mph). Italian highways tend to fluctuate between 110-130km/h (68-80mph). Speed cameras are common, even in the small villages and rural roads around the city. Keep an eye out for signs and mobile checks, especially on the E45 (also called the SS3bis).

As a primarily pedestrian city, it’s normally the easiest option to find parking a little outside the city centre. It’s a small place, so the walk doesn’t take long. It’s roughly 20min from the lot at Partisans Square on the edge of town. Rates average between €1.40-€1.80 per hour, which is around £1.20-£1.60.
