Hire a car in Pompei with Hertz
Pompei is a city just south of Naples that has captured the imagination of tourists, literature, and film, as a community frozen in time by the lavas of Mount Vesuvius. Inevitably Ancient Pompei and Mount Vesuvius are the major attractions here, but sights like the Shrine of Our Lady certainly aren't overshadowed. There's something for everyone in this area of southern Italy, with beaches, shops, dramatic landscapes and one of the most captivating examples of ancient history to be found anywhere in the world.
If you take up car hire in Pompei you're well-advised to also visit nearby Naples. Hiring a car in Pompei is available from the town itself and the Naples airports.
Visitors to Pompei will naturally head to the petrified ruins of the city; the House of Mysteries and the temples to the gods inspire a real sense of time-defying awe. Alternatively, the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary is always popular, and if you're hiring a car, a trip up Mount Vesuvius is recommended to gain the full picture. Rent a car in Pompei and head south on the SS366 to find some extraordinary geographical beauty in the Path of the Gods; Naples is just 25km on the A3 where you could try the renowned Museo Cappella Sansevero; Sorrento and the Marina di Puolo Beach is 30km on the SS145.
