Visiting and getting rental cars in Bologna Airport

Bologna’s nearest Airport is the “Guglielmo Marconi International Airport” (Bologna), and it’s only minutes away from the city center. There is a taxi and a special bus known as the “Aerobus,” that helps transport visitors. You can catch either of these transport systems in order to reach the Rental Cars in Bologna Airport Guglielmo Marconi. And this is when your vacation has truly started, the moment you step up to rent a car.

But there’s a lot to consider when choosing a car hire in Bologna. Did you know that there are no “Ford Victoria’s,” or “Vans,” within the European rental companies? Which means that there is limited space. And unless you are ready to spend about $2,000 for a S-class Mercedes or BMW then you can expect something small, with very little room (anyway, we suggest to book online to get the best cars and the best deals!)

But don’t let that spoil your vacation, that just means you get to pack smart. At least you know what to expect before renting the car and one of the biggest challenges is packing light; but when you do, at least you get to bring home more memorabilia.

• Know your expected charges. It’s important to remember road tax, airport tax, additional drivers, the optional insurance and equipment you request will cost extra. Some of these things do not come with your rental car.
• Always remember that prepaid fuel is a bad, bad, terrible idea. It will cost you so much more money. Just agree to fill the tank back up, before you return the car and you’ll save a lot of money in the long run.

• Double check the fuel tank. Most rental car facilities have gas on-site and if they haven’t filled up that means you’ll be paying more in the long run. Make sure to double check that you got a full tank of gas. It’s only fair, especially because you’ll be filling it next.
