    Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Pescara?

    Yes - a credit card is required for when collecting your vehicle in Pescara. Depending on the vehicle type and category – one or more credit cards may be requested. All credit cards must be under the main driver’s name and contain enough funds for a security deposit to be held on it. The amount is stated on your car rental voucher’s terms and conditions, or by clicking the info button during the online booking process. We recommend inspecting your car before driving off. Take any photographic or video evidence and note anything of concern on the pick-up slip. Make sure a member of staff reinspects the vehicle upon your return and signs off the vehicle as okay. The deposit will then be released back onto the same card. Please allow up to 14-working days for this to show on your card statement. All major credit cards are accepted – Mastercard, Visa, etc.

     

    What insurance do I need for my car rental in Pescara?

    Our base car rental rates come with the minimum legally required insurances for Italy. These are Theft Protection (TP), Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Limited Liability, with or without excess. This minimum cover does not cover all eventualities or all damage. We therefore recommend, that for a small fee, all customers take out our Full Damage & Theft Protection Cover during the booking process. This cover, along with the minimum legally required covers will provide ample protection if the unforeseen should happen. Our Full Damage & Theft Protection Cover will protect numerous parts of the car, including damage to wheels, mirrors and more.

    Local suppliers will try and sell you additional insurances. These are fully optional, and Auto Europe does not recommend or profit from said insurances. Insurance types include Roadside Assistance, Travel Insurance, Super CDW, Personal Effects Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance and more. Any insurance purchased locally directly with the supplier is not refunded by us, even if deemed to have been unnecessary afterwards. Read our car hire coverage page for more in-depth information.

     

    How is the traffic in Pescara?

    Traffic can be quite heavy in Pescara but like any other city, it will become busier during peak hours and during the holiday season. The main roads leading to other cities are well-maintained but may become congested, depending on the amount of traffic travelling to and from the city. With a car rental in Pescara it is possible to travel through the mountain roads, which are generally less congested. Main intersections and inner city roads should be avoided also due to congestion. Likewise, the road running along the city coastline can be hectic at times. Pescara is a major Italian seaport city – thus the traffic reflects this. Driving is on the right-side of the road and for more information about driving in Italy, please visit our Italian Driving Guide.

     

    Where can I park my car hire in Pescara?

    There are loads of car park garages throughout the city of Pescara. Parking on the streets is designated with road line markings. With three types of parking spots provided. If the spaces are marked with yellow lines, they are reserved for special categories, such as policemen or doctors. If they are marked with white lines, parking is free, but there may be a time limit. If they are marked by blue lines, you will need to pay for the parking and a ticket machine will be in the vicinity. You will need to buy a ticket for the amount of time you want to stay and display it on your vehicle’s dashboard.

     

    Can I drive my car hire in the ZTL-zone in Pescara??

    Zona a Traffico Limitato” (ZTL) is a scheme which restricts traffic flow of certain vehicles into certain parts of the city. It is popular within large towns and throughout many Italian cities. Pescara is such a city, with its central area restricted everyday between 00h00 until 12h00. There are numerous entry points into an ZTL area, with cameras pinpointed strategically to capture everyone that enters. A vehicle without the appropriate ZTL sticker will be fined accordingly.

    The ZTL area is designated by a large red sign. If your accommodation is located within the ZTL, you must inform the hotel so that for a small fee, they can register the rental car number plate with authorities. This will then allow you to drive freely into the ZTL. It is important to be fully aware of these environmental zones – as any fine will be forwarded to you by the car hire supplier, with an additional administration fee.

    What to do in Pescara

    Pescara is a large port city and as such is dedicated mainly to commerce. This is not to say that it does not have much to see and do. For instance, it is only one of the few major Italian cities to have large sandy beaches so close to the city centre – all within walking distance. The city has some museums and plenty of lively entertainment in the form of bars and clubs. We provide many promotions and deal, including free additional driver to help you maximise your trip and share in the joy of driving.

    • Pescara Beaches: Pescara is one of Italy’s only major cities that actually has numerous beaches within it. The city boasts a shoreline of around 12.5 miles of sandy beaches, and with the warmth of the Adriatic Sea – it’s the perfect location for a swim. Along the beaches you will find lots of restaurants, coffee houses, bars and lively entertainment. All is within easy walking distance from the city centre. A great place to unwind and enjoy, especially during the summer months.

    • Pescara Shopping: It is also quite rare to find the old town of an Italian city to be pedestrianised – Pescara however, isn’t one of these, and its main old town roads have been pedestrianised to enhance visitor comfort. Corso Umberto, Corse Vittorio Emanuele II and Via Nicola Fabrizi form part of this large pedestrian zone in which you will find amazing shopping opportunities. Everything from fashion to jewellery and technology. Lining the streets are many charming coffee houses, intriguing bars and traditional restaurants to enjoy.

    • Paparella Treccia Devlet Museum: If you like ceramics, we would recommend paying a visit to a museum dedicated to such arts. Located in a 19th Century villa, this museum features over 40 years of research into the study of ceramics and the majolica of Castelli. Within its numerous rooms, visitors are exposed to over 151 masterpieces of ceramic art. This huge collection was donated by Raffaele Paparella Treccia, along with his villa – which houses the collection. The Teramo region has for centuries been dedicated to the ceramic art.

    • Palazzo del Governo: Located in the heart of Pescara old town, the Palazzo del Governo is a wonder of Italian architecture. Built in 1927, it is within a beautiful square with a traditional café culture. The central water fountain draws in many of the local inhabitants during the evening to unwind and enjoy some of the amazing restaurants. Contained within the palace walls is also a painting by Michetti – named “The daughter of Iorio”.

    • Grande Ruota Panoramica: A large ferries wheel located on the shoreline and near the port. It draws in plenty of tourists eager to see Pescara from up high. Near the equally as impressive city bridge – Ponte del Mare – with its unique design. From the top of the ferries wheel, on a clear day you can see both the Majella and the Gran Sasso mountains. You also be blessed with around an 18-mile view down the coastline.

    • Pineta Dannunziana: If you’re looking to get away from it all, head towards the city park – Pineta Dannunziana. A great place to get some fresh air and enjoy nature as it should be.
