Hire a car in Garda with Hertz

A characteristic town on the east coast of the lake that shares its name, hiring a car in Garda allows you to explore the area around this stunning lake and the broader Veneto region. Walk up to the 'old rock of Garda', which towers over the town at 3m, for the astounding view it offers over the whole lake. As Garda is one of the smallest towns in the Veneto, hiring a car in Garda is the perfect way of seeing more; Verona is only a 4-minute drive away from Garda. Make sure to visit some of the little towns perched on Lake Garda's perimeter too.

Fact and fiction

Hiring a car in Garda will allow you to freely roam the area - visit our local branch at Garda for more information. After taking some boat trips around the lake (surely the quickest way of accessing the towns which line the banks) to small, sweet towns like Lazise, head back and rent a car in Garda to get a feel for some of Veneto's cities. In Verona, where Shakespeare set Romeo and Juliet, you can visit the fictional couple's fictional balcony for a laugh; or for some serious history head for the arena, a Roman gladiator ring which is the third-largest surviving after those in Rome and Capua.
