10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Venice

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best fit for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary depending on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're likely to obtain better rates and have a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may be unavailable. This may also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well, but ensure the car is returned empty in such cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, although it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is required to hire a car.

What types of cars can I rent in Venice?

The majority of visitors opt for economy cars in Venice. Drivers love them because they're fuel-efficient and affordable.

SUVs, full-size cars and compacts can be booked too. Whether you're sticking around Venice or venturing beyond, we'll have the wheels for you.

Where can I go on a road trip from Venice?

Venice has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Arrange a set of wheels and take to the road to see what's in the wider area. Here are some places to consider:

Santa Ana is approximately 64 kilometres from Venice. Famous sights like Santa Ana Zoo should be high on your list while you're in town.
Your next pit stop? It has to be Yorba Linda, which is around 64 kilometres away. Richard Nixon Library and Museum is one local hot spot you shouldn't miss.

Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a car in Venice. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, you can expect extra fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before booking your ride. Outlets also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.

What do you need to rent a car in Venice?

Before you can hop behind the wheel in Venice, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name.

Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.

Where can I find a Venice car rental if I am younger than 25?

Some Venice companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.

Can I drive in Venice with my current driver's license?

If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
