  • Taking a longer break? Pick up a weekly rental from RM116 and explore more than just the top attractions.

  • To score the best price on a Varese car hire, it's smart to book in advance. Rates generally climb as your travel dates approach, and any last-minute deals can vanish like a disappearing act.

  • Get behind the wheel with Maggiore, Locauto or Enterprise. They're some of the most trusted providers in the city.

  • Whether you choose Maggiore or a different supplier, make sure you understand the coverage on your Varese car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others sell it as a separate extra.

  • Booking a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles between locations, which means you can bag some awesome one-way prices on a car for rent in Varese.

  • Avoid any unexpected charges by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Begin and end your trip with a full tank, and only pay for what you actually use.

  • Hit the road without tracking every mile and racking up extra fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and pick 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you go the distance.

  • Small: These cheap rental cars in Varese may be small in size, but they live up to big expectations. Including mini and economy vehicles, they're easy to drive, great on mileage, and perfect for city runs or weekend trips.

  • Medium: Not too big, not too small, it's the definition of just right. Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they strike a balance of interior space and fuel efficiency and are suited to couples and small families.

  • Large: Long drives fly by in this Varese car hire category. Also known as full-size, they're built with bigger engines for better driving. The extra space and comfort make them a great choice for families and groups of friends.

  • SUV: Enjoy a higher driving position and a better view of what's ahead in an SUV. Whether you're winding through tough terrain or cruising down long stretches of highway, many come with all-wheel drive to keep you steady on any road.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but it's worth considering. If you're in an accident, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying a hefty excess fee. Different Varese car hire providers have different insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the details before booking.

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Varese by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a navigation system to keep you headed the right way, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

Good to know

  • The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Italy is generally 21 years old. However rules can vary by provider, so always read your rental company's policy to see what applies to you.

  • If the kids are tagging along, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Varese car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.

  • You'll need to show some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • Driving in Italy can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph through built-up areas and around 125kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • In Italy, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you expect to drink, hand the keys to someone else or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and excursions. Pay with a debit or credit card when you can, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't possible.

  • Italian is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.

  • Hotel Capolago makes life simpler with accessible parking and features such as an outdoor swimming pool and express check-in. It's roughly 3 kilometres from the city centre.
