VENICE CAR HIRE REVIEWS
Car hire reviews in Venice
Blessed with one of the world's most iconic cityscapes, the ancient city of Venice promises more architectural treasures and unexpected tourist surprises than most other places in Europe. The first thing to do is sip on a freshly-brewed cappuccino and soak up the atmosphere in St Mark's Square (the city's bustling centrepiece famous for its basilica), before snapping those all-important selfies on Rialto Bridge and in front of the Bridge of Sighs. And few people can resist a romantic gondola ride down Grand Canal after seeing all the artistic wonders on display at the Gallerie dell'Accademia.
By booking a car hire in Venice with Auto Europe, you can discover the city and enjoy exhilarating road-trips in the local Venetian countryside, with Lake Garda and the Dolomite Mountains close by and all the fun of the Valpolicella Wine Route within easy reach. Pick up your vehicle at Venice Marco Polo Airport just 13 km north of the city or at Venice Santa Lucia Train Station in the heart of the city centre. You can also collect your car at Venice Mestre Train Station just outside the city on the Italian mainland. To find out what others have to say about the quality of Auto Europe's wide-ranging local services, take a look at our car hire reviews in Venice section below.

" Overall a great experience - we had a great car and good support. I also felt confident that if anything went wrong I could phone up AutoEurope and get it resolved- that's a big added value of having a broker. "
" Smooth pickup, upgrade to better car. Excellent vehicle in top condition. Only snag was they sent me the details of someone else's rental to my email account which made me anxious I was to be held liable for his rental (was resolved). Very fast and friendly drop off of vehicle in perfect condition. "

" Auto Europe is the best; I have booked a car well in advance, and rebooked it with Auto Europe a few times as price was going down (prompted by AE a few times with new offers, etc). The procedure is straightforward and quick, and I use it for years. "
" The only problem was an hour-long wait in a queue to get a car (the queue was joint for all Herthz siblings, like Thrifty and Dollar), but probably this is inevitable in Venice at the beginning of August. It could be expedited if all the data enetered when booking with AutoEurope were automatically transferred to Hertz. As there was no car available in the class that I booked, I was upgraded at no cost to a nice SUV. "
