Comfort and convenience at the best price
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Italy, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Italy and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Italy, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Audi A5 Cabrio from €80 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by EUROPCAR. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan VW Transporter at a rate of €62 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, SIXT is ready to offer a Business-class model - Mercedes E. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Peugeot 208 car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €19 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

Popular destinations, Italy
The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in Italy may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.
Estimated daily prices
The highest demand for car rental in Italy occurs during the high tourist season - summer.
On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Audi A4 in Italy is €26 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €12 per day.
In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a Audi A5 Cabrio will cost €80 per day for the duration of the vacation period.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Italy is the Peugeot 208. The rental price for such a car starts from €19 per day from EUROPCAR.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Mercedes E costs about €87 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Ford Escape very cheaply in the autumn for just €36 per day.
It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a LEXUS RX, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.
How to cancel a reservation without penalties
On our website, you can cancel or change your booking in Italy under certain terms.
The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).
If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.
Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.
Remember that cancellations and changes are not possible after the pick-up time. This applies to all bookings.
Applies to all bookings:
If your online payment is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.
Insurance coverage cancellation policy:
If you purchased an additional insurance product with your car rental, the policy will be automatically ended when the booking is cancelled. To check if you are eligible for a refund, see the cancellation policy set out in the terms of your insurance product.
No-show at the rental location:
A “no-show” can mean that:
● You didn't inform the car rental company of your cancellation before your pick-up time.
● You failed to pick up your car in Italy at the arranged time and date.
● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
The car rental company reserves the right to refuse a car to any customer who fails to arrive on time with all of the necessary documentation and a credit card with enough available funds for the car's security deposit. In such cases, the customer will not be entitled to a refund.

Age restrictions when renting a car in Italy
Many rental companies in Italy have strict age restrictions on drivers. This may include additional charges for drivers under 26 years old.
We advise you to carefully study the age requirements of the company, especially if you are under 26 years old. After all, your car rental costs may depend on this. Different countries, companies and even rental locations may have different age limits and fees. Therefore, we urge you to read the full terms and conditions of the rental service and the information specified in the voucher.
Documents required for car rental
You can rent a car in Italy after providing a driver's license, passport, credit card, and a voucher that you will receive by email. If you are renting a luxury car, you may need to show two credit cards.
If more than one person will be driving the car, then each of the drivers needs to provide their driver's license.
