About Renting a Car at Venice Airport
At Venice Airport, rental car prices increase significantly during summer and holidays. Italian airports often have large selection, but the cheapest options disappear first – compare well in advance. Venice's Marco Polo Airport is located on the mainland at the lagoon's edge, and from here the entire northeastern Italy opens up by car.
Drive south along the A4 motorway and you'll reach Padua in just 40 minutes and the medieval city of Verona in approximately one hour. East along the same motorway awaits Trieste at the Slovenian border, just over an hour's drive away with a dramatic coastline as your reward. North beckons the Dolomites with their dramatic Alpine landscapes, and after approximately two hours' drive up toward Cortina d'Ampezzo you find yourself in the midst of world-class hiking trails and ski resorts.
Summer is the most popular season in the region, but autumn offers fantastic colors in the mountains and harvest festivals in the Prosecco and Valpolicella wine regions.
We compare prices from all major providers at Venice 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.
