Hire a car in Perugia with Hertz
The historic attractions of the ancient city of Perugia make it one of the most attractive destinations in Umbria. The medieval hilltop city also forms an excellent base to explore the landscapes and sights of the rest of Umbria.
It’s a large, hilly, rural area so having a car is a real bonus if you need to get around. We’ve picked our office locations to help you get into a vehicle and on the road as soon as possible. If you plan to hire a car in Perugia, you’ll see that we’re based at the main railway station in the city itself and at the airport.
We’ve got a great range of cars available and we guarantee there are no hidden charges. It's free to change or cancel your booking up to two days before collection and in the unlikely event that you find Hertz car hire cheaper, we’ll refund the difference.

Perugia car rental driving guide
Driving in and around Perugia
Perugia stands in the middle of Italy and is one of the country’s oldest cities. This makes is wonderful for sightseeing – but introduces a few restrictions for drivers. The steep hill that holds old Perugia is enclosed within pre-Roman city walls. Within these there are various laws preventing driving and parking aimed at preserving the old buildings. Once you’re strolling in the old streets, you’ll appreciate the tranquil atmosphere.
Nevertheless, it’s worth checking what the current restrictions are because Perugia police monitor the entrances to the old city with automatic cameras that issue fines to those without the correct permits.
Usually you can’t drive into this part of the city on any weekday mornings. If you are staying or working within the restricted area your hosts will advise you. Some visitors are able to park within the restricted zone, others may be able to drop luggage.
It’s all part of the unique experience of exploring Perugia. You’ll find that underground parking garages around the perimeter of the hill town offer a series of mini subways, lifts and escalators to whizz you up into the centre on foot anyway.
Away from the centre though, it’s an easy place to drive around. The SS75 trunk road runs through the south of the city and allows you to get to Lake Trasimeno and the A1 motorway to the west and explore the sacred site of Assisi to the east. The SS3 meanwhile runs north to south, going up through the hills to Citta di Castello and down to Terni and ultimately towards Rome.
