Rent a Car in Udine Center

Udine is Friuli-Venezia Giulia's second-largest city, located in northeastern Italy, 70 km from Venice and 60 km from Trieste. With 6 rental companies in the city center, Udine is an excellent base for exploring the Friuli region, the Slovenian border area and the Julian Alps. Udine's historic center with Piazza della Libertà and Castello di Udine is in the heart of the city.

Motorway A23 toward Tarvisio and Austria (Villach 95 km) and A4 toward Venice and Trieste run just outside the city center. Udine is the perfect starting point for a road trip through Friuli – visit the wine region Collio (30 km east), the Julian Alps with Tarvisio (80 km north) and the coastal town of Grado (50 km south) on the same trip. Book a car with GPS or download offline maps – the countryside in Friuli has limited mobile coverage.

Pick up the car early in the morning to avoid parking stress in Udine's city center during the day. How long does it take to drive from Udine to Venice? Approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes via motorway A4, a distance of approximately 120 km.

Can I rent a car in Udine and drop it off in Trieste? Yes, most rental companies offer one-way rental between Udine and Trieste (60 km). Ask about any additional fees when booking.

Is Udine a good starting point for visiting Slovenia? Absolutely – the border with Slovenia at Nova Gorica is reached in 45 minutes (45 km east), and Ljubljana is 150 km away, approximately 1.5 hours' drive.
