Hire a car in Novara with Hertz
Novara is in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, offering a fantastic location for those seeking elements of city life along with lakes, mountains, and the Piedmont countryside. Milan is a short car journey away, and lakes Orta and Maggiore are immediately due north; meaning Milan and Orta San Giulio are equally accessible as two distinct aspects of the same holiday.
Novara's Basilica di San Gaudenzio adds to a prestigious skyline at an important northern Italian juncture - near both Switzerland and France. Car hire in Novara gives you access to all of these nearby treasures; hiring a car in Novara is available from the city itself, Milan's airports and Turin amongst others.
On the road into Novara you'll be welcomed into the city by the site of the spires of Basilica di San Gaudenzio, which is complemented by the nearby Cathedral of Novara. Novara has many public squares; The Piazza Martiri Della Libertà is perhaps the most famous, but the Piazza Cesare Battisti is the most central.
If you're hiring a car in Novara, Milan is just 56km east on the A4, and the wider province of Novara is spectacular; Orta San Giulio (47km SS229), is a beautiful town on Lake Orta where you can see the UNESCO-listed chapels of Sacro Monte di Orta; San Giulio Island is also very popular.
