Car hire Pisa

Everyone knows of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but there is much more to discover in this enchanting, historic city. From the UNESCO Field of Miracles and its architectural wonders to the friendly bars along the Arno River, Pisa has a small but lively scene of Tuscan dining, university student nightlife and classic Italian cityscapes.

Pisa attractions

The four historic quarters of Pisa's historic downtown core contain the bulk of the attractions, including the Field of Miracles with its Leaning Tower and Cathedral, the charming Piazza dei Cavalieri and the Museo di San Matteo. Local life dominates the riverside Lungarni neighbourhoods, which can be easily explored with car rental in Pisa.

Pisa excursions

You can easily explore the compact downtown core on foot, but car hire in Pisa opens up surrounding Tuscan towns like the medieval village of Calci and the artisan community of Volterra. Pisa is a great base for daytrips to Florence, the epicentre of Renaissance art, or Lucca, a classic Italian city with a fortified historic core.

Best time to visit

A Mediterranean climate dominates Pisa, meaning hot, dry summers and cool, damp winters. From November to February, the weather is notoriously unpredictable, offering plenty of mild sunshine mixed with the occasional frigid rainy spell. Both April to June and September to October are ideal times to visit, boasting manageable crowds and superb weather.

A car hire in Pisa isn't necessary to get around this compact town, but the Tuscany countryside that surrounds it is full of inspiring scenery and memorable sights. All of the main car rental firms operate out of Pisa, so be sure to compare car hire offers online to find the best deals before arriving.
