KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Stresa

  • Nestled on the western side of Lake Maggiore in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, Stresa is one of Italy's most stunning and popular tourist attractions. Therefore, adding the city to your itinerary is a great idea. Among other places, destinations worth visiting on your vacation are Pietro Canonica Museum, The Ducale Villa, the Borromean Islands, the Island of the Fishermen, Park Pallavicino, The Umbrella Museum, Isola Bella, and Isola Pescatori. However, you need Stresa car rentals to discover several destinations because buses and trains ply specific routes and operate on preset schedules, restricting you to specific locations.
  • Multiple airports serve flights to Stresa. The nearest are Milano Malpensa Airport (MXP), Linate Airport (LIN), and Il Caravaggio International Airport (BGY). If you arrive at MXP, the car rental counters are inside terminal 1 on floor -1, accessible by taking the lift next to the baggage claim. Travelers arriving at LIN can find car rental desks in the Arrivals Hall. At BGY, the car rental counters are in the terminal building. After exiting from the baggage claim door, they are on the left.
  • As a small city in northern Italy, finding one-way streets and narrow roads while driving car rentals in Stresa is not uncommon. Nevertheless, driving is a manageable task with attention to detail. Therefore, avoid distractions like using your phone while driving. As a family-friendly city, you will likely encounter several people adventuring the bustling city streets on foot. Driving while keeping them safe can be challenging. Even though jaywalking is uncommon, drive slowly and cautiously around thickly populated zones to keep pedestrians safe.
  • Significant cities in Italy experience traffic congestion during rush hours, and Stresa is no exception. The city experiences heavy traffic during peak travel hours because most residents access the city with private cars. Besides, motorbikes are permitted to utilize the same lanes as vehicles, causing traffic-snarl-ups. Typically, the rush hours begin from around 7 am to 8 am and 5 pm to 7 pm. Plan your routes well to avoid road delays. Endeavor to travel before rush hours to escape traffic congestion.
  • Book your car hire in Stresa at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
