Florence Airport Car Hire (FLR)

Florence Peretola Airport (FLR) is just 5 km northwest of the city center and is an excellent starting point for a Tuscan car rental holiday with 27 rental companies on site. Florence's center is reached in about 15 minutes and motorway connections to the A1 toward Rome and A11 toward Pisa are directly accessible. Siena is 75 km to the south and Pisa 85 km to the west, both about 1 hour away.

The airport borders Florence's northwestern neighborhoods of Novoli and Osmannoro and is close to Parco delle Cascine, Florence's largest city park along the Arno. Air traffic is dominated by domestic and European routes – long-distance travelers usually land in Pisa (FLR) or Rome. Pick up your car on arrival and head straight toward Tuscany – avoid driving into Florence's center with a rental car unless you have accommodation there.

Book a car with unlimited mileage if you're planning a Tuscany road trip – distances add up quickly. Choose diesel for long motorway stretches toward Rome or Milan. How long does it take to drive from Florence Airport to the center?

About 15 minutes via Viale Guidoni without traffic. During rush hour (07–09, 17–19) it can take 30–45 minutes. Can I rent a car at FLR and return it at another airport?

Yes, most of the 27 rental companies offer one-way rentals, for example Florence–Rome or Florence–Venice, for an additional fee. What is the fastest route from FLR toward Siena? Take the A1 south toward Incisa, then E35 toward Siena.

A total of about 75 km and 1 hour under normal conditions.
