Hiring a car in Bologna gives you flexibility for business appointments outside the centre, visits to the exhibition district and a road trip through Emilia-Romagna. On Rent.it, compare offers from available rental companies and choose a pick-up point that fits your arrival and onward journey.
Enter Bologna in the search engine, choose a pick-up point and add your dates, times and driver’s age. Compare the total price alongside the vehicle category, mileage allowance, fuel policy, cover and excess. Rent.it is a broker: your chosen supplier provides the car and handles the rental agreement.
For a trip with several appointments, factor in the journey to the rental office as well as the return. Check that opening hours and card requirements suit your plans before deciding on an offer.
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) is the first option to consider when you fly in and plan to drive onwards. If you arrive by rail, look at the railway station pick-up option. The following pages give information about individual locations.
Bologna’s location list also includes Castel Maggiore and San Lazzaro di Savena; search your dates to check available offers. Calderara di Reno is a separate location from the airport terminal. Always check the office address and supplier instructions: shuttle services, meeting arrangements and opening hours depend on the offer.
Read the requirements for your driving licence, identification, minimum age and how long you must have held your licence. For a licence issued abroad, check whether an International Driving Permit or translation is required. Bring the documents and payment card specified by the supplier.
Looking for Bologna car hire without a credit card? Choose only an offer that explicitly accepts your debit or prepaid card. Check the cardholder name, network, physical-card requirement and whether the card is accepted for the deposit. Acceptance for online payment does not guarantee acceptance at collection. The security deposit and insurance excess are different amounts; check both, together with cover exclusions.
A compact car is a practical choice for light luggage and easier parking. For family travel, compare boot capacity as well as seats. Select automatic transmission if you need it. If you choose an electric car, plan charging stops and check the required battery level on return.
Plan to park and explore the historic centre on foot. Bologna has a restricted traffic zone, known as the ZTL, plus areas with additional restrictions. Hiring a car does not give you automatic permission to enter. Ask your hotel or garage about the required access procedure before driving into a restricted area, and follow road signs, reserved-lane rules and posted speed limits.
Piazza VIII Agosto and Riva Reno are two car parks to consider. Check the permitted approach to the entrance, current prices, height restrictions and space availability. For the exhibition district, choose parking to suit the entrance being used for your event.
Build a day out around Dozza and the Imola area, or plan stops in the Bolognese Apennines. Modena and Ferrara are further options for a regional itinerary. Leave enough time for each stop and decide where to park before approaching a historic centre.
For a longer journey, explore our car hire in Italy page. If you intend to leave Italy, obtain the supplier’s approval in advance and check permitted countries, extra charges and cover.
Allow time for traffic, refuelling or charging, and the onward journey to your train or terminal. Returning to a different office or outside opening hours must be included in the offer or agreed with the supplier and may cost extra. Also check the booking’s amendment and cancellation terms.
Enter your travel dates to compare available cars, prices, categories and rental conditions in Bologna. Before booking, check that collection times, the pick-up point, card requirements and deposit work for you.

Search offers for Marconi Airport, the railway station and other listed locations in the Bologna area. Availability depends on your dates; check the exact address and collection arrangements in your chosen offer.
Consider the airport when arriving by air and the station when arriving by train. Compare the overall price, office hours and your onward route as well.

The amount depends on the supplier, car and offer. Check the vehicle details and rental conditions, including the funds or credit available on your card.
A rental agreement does not authorise entry to the ZTL. Check the permission required and any access procedure provided by your hotel or garage before entering.
Piazza VIII Agosto and Riva Reno are two options. Check the access route, current prices, availability and height restrictions for your chosen car park.
Only where the supplier and offer allow it. Select your return destination when searching and check any one-way charge before booking.
