Hire a car in Lucca with Hertz

Car hire in Lucca, a city and commune in Tuscany, central Italy, can be arranged by heading for our local branch. Surrounded by walls from the Renaissance era, Lucca is a jumble of twisting, turning streets. Hiring a car in Lucca is great for exploring wider Tuscany as well as the city itself. Lucca's duomo, the Cattedrale di San Martino, gleams white in the sun, and holds Tintoretto's picture of The Last Supper. For the relief of water and shade, visit the gardens of Palazzo Pfanner, a 17th century villa with several restored rooms, and a small but perfectly formed oasis of a garden.

In Lucca's historical centre is the square, built on a large oval Roman amphitheatre, you can people watch, whilst enjoying a meal in one of the reasonably priced restaurants around the square. Hiring a car in Lucca puts Pisa and its leaning tower only a 17.5 kilometre drive away, and the coast at Viareggio only 30 kilometres - both should be accessible in under 30 minutes. Rent a car in Lucca to explore other Tuscan towns, but Lucca itself has enough to offer. Its slow-paced life emphasises the wondrous stories - see the Volto Santo di Lucca, supposedly carved by Nicodemus miraculously conveyed to Lucca in 782.
