Car rental companies in Venice
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a large number of car rental companies in Venice and throughout Italy, providing you the option to collect the car from a variety of stations around Venice and the nearby mainland. Major stations operate especially at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), at Piazzale Roma Square - the last point accessible by car within historical Venice - and at Venice Mestre Railway Station. Additionally, you can find rental locations on the Tronchetto parking island, in the Mestre and Marghera areas on the mainland, and sometimes at cruise ports and nearby transportation arteries. Whether you are landing by flight, arriving by train, or planning to drive to star tours in Veneto and the Dolomites, you can choose the most convenient pickup point for you. It's important to remember that vehicle traffic is prohibited in the center of historical Venice, and access is only allowed up to Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, where dedicated parking and service centers are situated.
Many additional rental stations are scattered in the area, allowing you to choose where you want to collect or return the vehicle, including one-way return options to other destinations in Italy. Operating hours may vary between companies and different pickup points, so it is advisable to check in advance that they match your landing time, train arrival, or planned departure from the city, to receive the vehicle at your most convenient time and place. In peak seasons and considering traffic congestion on the Ponte della Libertà bridge, it's advisable to add a safety margin and prefer stations with extended availability or out-of-hours returns services (where possible). Early booking will help you secure a suitable car model, transparent rental terms and a competitive price - and enjoy a smooth and relaxed driving experience from the first moment.

Tips for car rental in Venice
Here are four useful tips for renting a car abroad, helping you make the right booking, understand the booking terms, avoid unexpected charges at the pick-up point, and drive with peace of mind — from the start of your trip to its end.
Ensure a Credit Card in the Main Driver's Name
Rental companies require a physical international credit card in the driver's name for the deposit. Check the credit limit, appropriate validity, and that it's not a debit or prepaid card.
Check What the Insurance and Excess Include
Understand what CDW/TP includes, the amount of the deductible, and what is not covered (windows, tires, car's underside). Consider local extension and know the roadside assistance conditions.
Compare Mileage Policy, Additional Driver, and Add-ons
Check for mileage limits, additional driver costs, child seat, toll device, or GPS. Book add-ons in advance for availability and price assurance.
Document Damages on Pickup and Return
During pickup, take video/photos of all scratches, wheels, and windows, check the fuel gauge against the contract, and request to note it in the report. Keep documentation at return too.
