Your Bologna car hire needs are all taken care of when you book with SIXT. We offer a versatile range of vehicle models, provided by some of Europe’s best-known brands. Whether you need a compact hatchback for narrower streets, or an MPV for going outside the city with the family, we can provide it. Our vehicles are each on average only 3 months old, giving you first-class car hire at affordable prices. Our branches are easy to find near the main tourist transit centres like train stations and Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. They’re all staffed by English-speaking agents, who are ready to help you quickly get on the road.
Personalise your Bologna car hire booking around your itinerary. Choose the hire period that suits you best, from a weekend rental to a long-term rental. Shorter periods are available too. We also have extra options that you can book in advance, like child seats or sat nav units. Models are diverse, from city cars like hatchbacks, compact cars and small sedans, to larger saloons and estate cars. Choose according to whether you simply need to get around efficiently or are taking an Italian holiday. You can also get 4x4s and people-carriers for groups of up to seven.
With your car hire sorted, you’re free to drive around not only the city, but also to visit nearby attractions. First on the list for any driving enthusiast is a trip to the Ferrari factory and showcase in Modena, a 40-minute drive away. If you’re more interested in the culinary side of things, make the hour’s drive to the cheese city of Parma. In Bologna itself, make sure to visit its centrepieces, Piazza Maggiore and the Neptune Fountain at Piazza del Nettuno.
Winter is the perfect time to pay homage to the city’s most famous export, spaghetti bolognese. The dish doesn’t get more authentic than when eaten in the Quadrilatero precinct. Also worth viewing is the Oratory of Battuti Church, with its Baroque paintings, carvings and frescoes. Then hop into your car and drive about 2 miles up to the hilltop that overlooks Bologna to visit the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, a portico with over 650 arches.
In Bologna the minimum age is 18 years old; you must simply hold a valid licence for at least a year and it induces a surcharge when under 25.
We understand journey are subject to change so if you decide to ‘pay later’ during booking cancellation is free any time.
