KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Montecatini Terme
- Cheap car hire in Montecatini Terme will be a wonderful way to enjoy this Medieval Tuscany town and all its attractions. This ancient part of Italy is famous for both the art nouveau Montecatini spa complex, hosting three natural spas, and the small village perched on the hill called Montecatini Alto. It has sweeping views and old Romanesque buildings, as well as a wonderful atmosphere of yesteryear. Having a car in Montecatini Terme will give you access to the caves of Grotto Maona, world-class art at the Montecatini Contemporary Art and fantastic dining and shopping at the Piazza del Popolo. Filled with elegance and history, Montecatini Terme is alive with natural and modern wonders.
- When landing in Florence, you may arrive at Peretola Airport (FLR). Collect your Montecatini Terme car hire by catching the airport shuttle to the car hire area on Via Palagio Degli Spini. It takes 10min to reach, and you’ll find B-Rent, Ecovia, OptimoRent, SICILY BY CAR, INTERRENT and others. It’s worth picking up a GPS to avoid congestion when driving in Montecatini Terme. When you have collected your vehicle, pop on the A11 and be at your destination in under 30min.
- With your cheap car hire in Montecatini Terme, you will drive on the right-hand side of the road. While road rules are quite similar to the UK, you will find a few notable differences and may want to do some research including road signs, all of which will be in Italian. Take note of the ZTLs of Montecatini Terme, which are no-drive zones in the centre of town. When driving, always stay under the blood alcohol limit of 0.05% and make sure your child is in a car seat or booster chair until they are 1.5 m in height. There will be many foreign drivers in summer, but you will be able to spot Italian drivers as they are more confident, drive faster, and are quite expressive with their car horns.
- With your cheap car hire in Montecatini Terme, you will find that your vehicle will have a manual transmission gearbox. This is great for winding roads and when the vehicle needs power on hills, but if you are more confident with an automatic you will need to pre-book as they are not guaranteed. Roads are old, narrow, and sometimes cobbled in old Italian towns, such as Montecatini Terme and when it comes to Montecatini Alto, it is not worth driving at all, but rather parking and taking the funicular up the hill. Foot traffic and congestion will be the main challenges, and it is best to plot routes out with a GPS before leaving your hotel.
