Hire a car in Genoa with Hertz
Organising car hire in Genoa, the port city and sixth-largest city in Italy, shouldn't be stressful - just visit one of our Genoa branches, either at the airport or downtown, and let us see what we can do. Hiring a car in Genoa gives you great access to the Ligurian coastline on which Genoa sits, but Genoa itself is certainly worth investing some of your time in - it has been nicknamed 'La Superba', the superb one, for its wonderful history and iconic monuments. As the largest port in Italy, it is one of the country's major industrial centres.
The inside track Hiring a car in Genoa enables you to see much more in this city, Europe's 'capital of culture' in 2004. Genoa was also added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 2006. Despite all this being taken into account, Genoa is not well-known for being a tourist destination - people prefer the glamour and sheen of Milan. Rent a car in Genoa, though, and get around this up-and-coming city with ease. For a taste of local life, visit Piazza delle Erbe in the evening, where you will find copious restaurants and bars. With parts of Genoa's old town maintaining the look and feel of medieval times, it's worth letting yourself wander here unchecked.
