About Renting a Car at Pescara Abruzzo

Rent a car in the Pescara Abruzzo area with 2 rental agencies and explore Abruzzo's dramatic landscape of coast and mountains. Pescara is Abruzzo's largest city and a perfect hub for reaching both the Adriatic coast and national parks such as Gran Sasso. The location is near the southern parts of Pescara, about 5 km from the airport.

The Abruzzo region offers a fantastic contrast – from Pescara's sandy beaches to Gran Sasso d'Italia, the highest peak of the Apennines, just 80 km inland. With a rental car you can reach Majella National Park in under an hour and picturesque mountain towns like Sulmona in 80 km. Choose a car with good ground clearance if you plan to drive mountain roads in Abruzzo.

Avoid driving into Pescara's center during rush hour – coastal traffic can be intense in summer. Drive north along the coast towards Francavilla al Mare, just 10 km away, for quieter beaches. Can I drive to Gran Sasso with a rental car from Pescara?
