If the public transportation in Verona doesn't suit your needs because you plan to frequently travel outside the city, it may be worthwhile to consider renting a cheap car.
Experienced tourists insist that if you'll be spending most of your time in Verona and your hotel is located in the city center, renting a car may not be justified. Firstly, there are restricted traffic zones in the city, and secondly, there may be difficulties with parking (which is not cheap here, costing around 1-2 EUR per hour).
However, it's a different story if you rent a car in Verona at a low price to take a family trip to Venice, go shopping at remote outlets, or explore Lake Garda with a group of friends.
If you are at least 21 years old, have an international driver's license, and a driving experience of at least 1 year, you have a good chance of renting a car in Verona without a deposit. However, if it's not possible to rent a car without a deposit, be prepared to "freeze" around 200-300 EUR on your credit card.
The price of car rental in Verona depends on the car brand and the rental period. For example, renting a car for a week can save you 30-40%. The price range, depending on the type of car, starts from 25 EUR per day for a Fiat 500 and 80 EUR per day for a Mercedes E Class (including insurance). Fuel, whether it's gasoline, diesel, or gas, is paid separately.
You can rent a car at the airport, and this service is provided by companies such as Avis, Europcar, Maggiore, Hertz, Buchbinder, and others.
Another important thing to note for those renting a car in Verona is that gas stations in the city are not open 24/7. They are closed on Sundays, and from Monday to Saturday, they close at 19:00.
