Follonica, a town set on the Gulf of Follonica in Tuscany, is the perfect base for exploring Italy's picturesque region of Tuscany. Car hire in Follonica puts Grosseto, with its old town enclosed by hexagonal, 16th century walls, only 41 minutes drive away. Visit our local branch in Follonica to organise car hire today. Hiring a car in Follonica allows you to roam the Tuscan coast to your heart's content. You can even reach the Tuscan Archipelago's largest island, Elba, which was made famous for harbouring Napoleon whilst he was in exile. Elba makes for a wonderful day trip, though it can be overcrowded during the July and August holiday months.
Visit Grosseto's hexagonal fort, or take in natural parks
If hiring a car in Follonica is your plan, you probably intend to take in as much of Tuscany as you can. If you visit Grosseto, in the Maremmo region of Tuscany, you should visit the Medici fortress. Within its walls you can navigate the whole perimeter on the walkway, and see the canals that crisscross the centre. The walls are rare, in that they have remained virtually unchanged in recent times. Rent a car in Follonica and enjoy the natural beauty of the Parco Naturale della Maremma, a park surrounded by marshes, pine woods and grazing fields. Comprising the Uccellina Mountains, the River Ombrone and the beachy coastline, the park contains many different species of flora and fauna.
