Hire a car in Mantova with Hertz
Mantova, otherwise known as Mantua, is a city and commune in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy. Organising car hire in Mantova is easy - visit our local branch in the city to get started. Mantua is surrounded on three sides by lakes, now dried up, which were created artificially in the 12th century as a defensive moat for the city. Approach Mantua from the bridge near Porta San Giorgio for a romantic skyline, cutting the domes and turrets with the shimmering water in front of them. Hiring a car in Mantova lets you explore this beautiful city with ease - a city often overlooked, but with the Renaissance richness of a miniature Florence.
Ruled by the Gonzaga family for more than 300 years, Mantua bears the history of a monied Renaissance. The Gonazagas ploughed money into the city itself, hiring some of the greatest craftsmen of the Renaissance. Hiring a car in Mantova enables you to access other Northern Italian gems Lake Garda and Verona, which are both under an hour away. Though Romeo was famously banished to Mantua from Verona in Shakespeare's masterpiece 'Romeo and Juliet', your visit needn't be negative. Rent a car in Mantova and go to Verona to visit Juliet's fictional balcony, and have your photo taken with a statue of Juliet.
