Prices and availability for Genoa come through our partner network, Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Genoa is a steep port city stacked between the mountains and the sea, with narrow alleys in the old town, elevated roads through the centre and a motorway that runs on viaducts above the rooftops. You do not want a car for the city itself, but you do want one for the Riviera: Portofino and Camogli to the east, the beaches towards Savona and Finale Ligure to the west, and the hill villages inland. Cristoforo Colombo airport is close to the port. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Genoa: common questions
Can I drive to the Cinque Terre from Genoa?
You can drive to La Spezia or Levanto and park there, but the five villages themselves are best done by train or on foot, as village parking is scarce and the approach roads are narrow and steep. Use the car for the coast between Genoa and Sestri Levante, then leave it at a station for the Cinque Terre day.
What is parking like in Genoa?
Tight. The historic centre is largely closed to traffic and the streets around it are steep and narrow with few spaces. Most visitors park at a garage near the port or the station and walk. If you are only staying in the city for a night or two, pick the car up on the day you leave for the coast.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Genoa, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
