Car hire - simple, easy, and affordable prices

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 Bologna, 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 Bologna 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 Bologna, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible BMW Z4 from €79 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by sixt. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Mercedes V-Class at a rate of €44 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, budget is ready to offer a Business-class model - Mercedes E. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Ford Fiesta car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €19 per day.

Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:

If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

Average prices by car class

Price changes Bologna depending on the season

The highest demand for car rental in Bologna 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 Skoda Octavia in Bologna is €50 per day.

In autumn, the same car costs about €13 per day.

Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a BMW Z4 is offered at €79 per day.

Among budget models, the most demanded in Bologna is the Ford Fiesta. The sixt company rents it out for €19 per day.

For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Mercedes E will cost about €42 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.

Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Bologna, you can easily rent a BMW X6 to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.

Important information: All cancellations must be made in the “Manage My Booking” section and not directly through the car rental company itself.
