Car Rental in Pisa

Family car rental in Pisa

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Italy traditionally include the following vehicles: Audi A4, Volvo V50, Honda Accord, Audi A3, Toyota Avensis, Mazda 6 and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Pisa borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Pisa might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Pisa!

Driving Advices for Italy – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
Drivers, who are used to using a mobile phone when driving, must purchase a headset. If a driver is caught using a mobile device without the “hands free” headset while driving, then he is likely to get a big penalty for breaking the traffic regulations.
When driving on a highway that has several lanes in one direction, drivers should occupy as extreme right lane as possible. The extreme left lane should preferably be used only to regroup and overtake other cars. Once the maneuver is finished, drivers should return their cars to right lanes.
If a crossing has a circular movement, cars within the circle have a priority. Entering such an intersection, as well as leaving it, is considered one of the most risky and difficult maneuvers for inexperienced drivers. In order to "fit" the fast moving row of cars, a driver must have a considerable skill level.

Traveling in Pisa with family car
The holiday is opened with a grand parade which is followed then with the main entertaining event of the day being a boat race. The regatta is an impressive and rather emotional event which will be of great interest for all tourists and city guests. The name of the patron saint is associated with another bright festival which is the Luminara di San Ranieri which is celebrated a day prior to the Palio di San Ranieri on 16th of June. The holiday was established in the middle of the 17th century. In the course of its history the event has been sufficiently changed and today a single day is not enough for holding of all the planned events of the holiday.
On the festive day all the churches, cathedrals and temples of the city are decorated with a specially chosen system of illumination. Nice lanterns and lamps can be seen on the houses of local folks as well. The Tower of Pisa being the main symbol of the city gets its luxurious illuminating decoration too. The landmark looks fantastic in the bright lights of the decoration. At nightfall city residents set off to the bank of the river to set special small lights afloat. After the ritual large companies of people proceed to a square at the old Citadel (La Cittadella) where a great fireworks show takes place.

One of the newest and most engaging holidays in Pisa is considered to be the Gioco del Ponte (its name means “games on a bridge”) offering its participants the most exciting sport contests and competitions. According to one of the theories the holiday originated from the Middle Ages epoch when local equestrians organized fights named Mazzascudo, entertaining themselves and mastering their fighting skills in such a way. Modern holiday is opened with a knight parade. A scale march of knights clad in medieval dresses follows the Arno river bank.
