About Renting a Car at Genoa Airport

Genoa Airport is located on the Mediterranean and is an excellent starting point for exploring Liguria by car. From here it takes only a few minutes along the A7 motorway into Genoa's old town, a UNESCO-listed historical center with narrow caruggi and impressive baroque palaces. Drive west on the A10 toward Riviera di Ponente and reach beautiful coastal towns such as Alassio and San Remo in less than an hour.

To the east along the A12, the famous Cinque Terre cliff villages await, approximately one hour away, as well as the elegant port town Portofino, which is even closer. The best time to visit is May to September when Liguria's mild climate and sunny days make coastal road trips especially enjoyable.

We compare prices from all major providers at Genoa Airport so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.

What to Know Before Picking Up at Genoa Airport

🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms

  • Fuel: "Full-to-full" is usually the fairest deal.
  • Extra driver: can cost extra — check before booking.
  • Automatic: often pricier and in shorter supply.
