KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Genoa
- Explore Italian wonders with car hire in Genoa, as you take in this stunning coastal city that stretches alongside the Italian Riviera. Take your Genoa car hire out for a drive just 34min away and visit the gorgeous coastal peninsula towns of Camogli and Portofino, or enjoy a relaxing 2-hour drive to Parma, home of the namesake ham and parmesan cheese.
- Arriving in Genoa by air will see you land at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo airport, just a 12-minute drive from the city centre. Larger commercial car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Europcar, Hertz, Sunnycars and others all have branches at the airport, as well as within the city itself. When you arrive at Genoa Airport, you will find the car rental section conveniently placed in the Arrivals area, just behind the General Tourist Information counter.
- The historic centre of Genoa is traffic-restricted and considered pedestrian-friendly. While you will not be able to drive here, you can catch a bus, taxi, or go for a stroll to see the cultural and historic sights. When driving around the rest of the city, ports and coastal regions, take note of high foot traffic regions such as the University. Scooters are a dominant form of transport and tend to whizz around the city, so keep your eyes peeled. To avoid congestion, accidents and getting lost, book a sat nav with your car hire in Genoa and ensure you get around with ease.

The main motorway coming into Genoa is the A7, which in turn becomes the A80. The SS1 is the major road, which stretches along much of the coast line. Select roads sometimes experience minor traffic delays, such as Via Carlo Barabino, but for the most part, your driving experience should not be marred by traffic jams. Your sat nav will be able to highlight areas to avoid.

Pros:
Picking up the car was easy in Genoa. The car was clean, comfortable and easy to drive. The employees were kind and reasonable. Great Experience!Cons:
The car we chose was not available because we were there a half hour early. It's really hard to judge traffic in a foreign country, so there should be a little more flexibility. It was also difficult to get customer service to change our dropoff location - I had to call multiple times after getting disconnected multiple times. We had better luck with Dollar than with it's sister company Hertz, which even with a reservation, we were 86th in queue after an 8 hour flight and no sleep. We ended up paying $350 for a car service to get us to our destination at the beginning of our trip. It might have been due to the airport (Milan vs Genoa) and the large flight we came in on, but they were ill prepared at Hertz.8,0 Very Good
