Car Hire in Lucca Center

Lucca with its perfectly preserved Renaissance walls is one of Tuscany's most beloved cities, and with 8 rental companies in the city center you have maximum selection for your rental car. Pisa Airport is just 20 km to the south (20 min), Florence 75 km to the east (1 hour) and the Versilia coast with Viareggio 20 km to the west (20 min). Lucca is an ideal hub for exploring northern Tuscany.

Lucca's 4 km long walls from the 1500s are unique in the world – they are so wide that you can walk and cycle along the top. Inside the walls you'll find Piazza dell'Anfiteatro (built on a Roman amphitheater), Torre Guinigi with oak trees on top, and countless medieval churches. The area inside the walls is car-free.

Pick up your rental car outside the walls and leave it at your hotel's parking – then drive around to Tuscany's vineyards in Montecarlo (15 km) and Colline Lucchesi. Visit Collodi (15 km east) and Pinocchio Park – a family-friendly excursion with historic charm. Take the A11 motorway toward Florence but exit toward Montecatini Terme (25 km) for a relaxing thermal spa experience.

Can I drive a rental car inside Lucca's walls? No, the historic city center inside the walls is a ZTL zone – park outside the walls and explore on foot or by bike. Which airport is nearest to Lucca?
