Lecce car hire

Depending on how much use you want to make of your car hire in Lecce, a smaller compact vehicle may make you feel more comfortable in the city centre’s web of busy, bustling streets. If you plan to venture out of Lecce as part of your trip and explore more of the area, you may prefer something with a little more room and comfort for long trips. Either way, ensuring you have a navigation system will be helpful!

Speed limits across Italy are very similar to most of Australia and other countries. Most busy urban areas have a speed limit of 50 km/h, whereas suburban and quieter roads can be anywhere from 60 km/h to 110 km/h and most motorways are signed as 130 km/h. As with anywhere, be sure to pay close attention, as the general rule does not always apply.

Parking in Lecce is fairly simple, there is plenty of street parking and the rates are graded by coloured zones to discourage long-term parking in the centre. So, the further out of the centre you go, the cheaper your rate will be. As a rough guide, red zones (historical areas) are at about € 1.50 (A$ 2.37), orange zones (commercial areas) are roughly € 1.30 (A$ 2.05), blue zones (old town and commercial areas) are around € 1.10 (A$ 1.73) and green zones are about € 0.60 (A$ 0.95) per hour. There are also private secure parking areas; these are privately owned and set their own rates by hour or day.
