KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cortona

  • Driving car rentals in Cortona through Tuscany's countryside offers unique experiences and stunning views. You can stop at local markets, sample regional foods, and interact with locals in a way that might not be possible with public transportation. Some attractions and natural sites in Tuscany might not be easily accessible by public transportation. But with a car, you can reach places like the Abbey of Farneta, Eremo Le Celle, Lake Trasimeno, and other rural viewpoints without relying on buses or trains. Also, public transportation schedules may not always align with your travel plans. You can optimize your itinerary and save time by reaching your destinations directly with a rental car.
  • Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi Airport (PEG) is the closest airport to Cortona, about 70 km (43 miles) away. The establishment offers several car rentals in Cortona for travelers looking to explore the region, such as Avis, Europcar, Hertz, SIXT, and Maggiore. The car rental companies are within the terminal building, making it convenient for travelers to pick up and drop off their Cortona car rentals. Upon arriving at the airport, you can follow the signs or ask airport staff for directions to the car rental desks. Booking your vehicle in advance might be best to avoid last-minute hassles.
  • Like many historic towns in Italy, Cortona has narrow and winding streets. These streets can be a challenge to navigate, especially for larger vehicles. It's important to drive Cortona car rentals slowly and be aware of pedestrians and other vehicles sharing the road. Roundabouts are common in Italy, including Cortona. If you're unfamiliar with how they work, yielding to cars already in the roundabout and signaling your exit is important. Furthermore, due to its relaxed lifestyle, it's not uncommon to see cars parked in the middle of the street while the driver runs a quick errand.
  • Rush hour traffic in Cortona is less pronounced than in major urban areas. However, if there is any traffic congestion, it is more likely to occur during the morning (7:00 am to 9:00 am) and evening (4:00 pm to 6:00 pm) hours when residents and commuters are traveling to and from work. Some roads that may see more traffic and congestion, especially during events or busy tourist periods, include the main roads leading to the town center or popular attractions.
