You must present your original driver's license, an ID (ID card/Passport), and a valid credit card for the deposit. If picking up at Marco Polo Airport, have your flight number ready.

Can I modify or cancel my car reservation in Venice?

Of course. Plans change. You can modify your booking online. Check the notice periods for a full refund according to the selected policy.

"A special thank you to Miriam, or perhaps Myriam, who was absolutely wonderful. We had an early flight from Florence to Düsseldorf at 9:20 a.m., while the rental station only opened at 8:00. As the shuttle driver had not yet arrived, she immediately offered to drive us to the airport herself. A few moments later, another colleague came to take us,..."Powered by Google™

Car Rental at Venice Airport

Renting at Marco Polo is the most strategic move for those who want to see much more than just the canals:

Bypass the limits of the canals: While Venice city is meant for walking, the rest of the region is designed for driving. Collect your car and head straight to Verona, Vicenza, or the Prosecco hills.

Direct mountain access: Our office has immediate access to the A27 and A4 motorways, meaning you can be on your way to Cortina d’Ampezzo or Lake Garda in record time, avoiding city traffic.

Total mobility: Having your own vehicle allows you to stay in charming, more affordable "agriturismos" (farm stays) in the Venetian countryside instead of expensive downtown hotels.
