Car hire Pisa

Pisa is so much more than a leaning tower. In fact, its incredible gastronomy and its heritage, either cultural or artistic, make the city the perfect destination, chosen by millions of visitors every year. It is an ancient city and, at the same time, modern one which has three of the most important universities in Italy.

Even though what the majority of people might think, one of the major reasons why travelers visit this incredible city is because of its gastronomy. The gastronomy in Pisa goes beyond the typical trattorias we all know. Therefore, if you come to Pisa, we recommend tasting its astounding dished prepared with fishes as cod or cuttlefish, the spicy white bean soup of Saint Michael or the excellent Italian cured meat. Of course, if you like the meat, our recommendation is to taste dishes prepared with pheasant or the typical Spanish tripe.

Another reason to visit Pisa is its cultural and historic heritage. Along the many stunning cultural points to visit, don’t miss the Miracles Square, from which you can see the famous leaning tower, which, as you might know, it is the bell tower of the Cathedral. Other important points are:

• Knights Square, considered the intellectual heart of the city.

• Clock’s Palace, which has two astonishing medieval towers.

• Knowledge Palace, which is considered to be one of the most important university points inside Italy.

Without a doubt, there many more reasons to visit the wonderful city of Pisa. Therefore, a car rental in Pisa is the best alternative and the most ideal one to get to the city. Moreover, thanks to your car hire you will be able to move with total freedom along the most touristic places of the city as the Bank of the Arno River, Knight Square, the Crypt of Saint Peter in Viniculis, the Tuttomondo Mural, the majestic Duomo or any of the museums of the city, as for example, Saint Mathews Museum.

To get to the city of Pisa, one of the most common ways is landing in the nearby airports. In Pepecar, we want to recommend you to reserve your rental car in Pisa Airport, Florence Airport or Genova Airport, as the distance is no longer than 170 kilometers and the trip won’t take you more than 2 hours. Moreover, your rental car can be picked up and returned at the airport you land in.

• From Pisa Airport: it is only 6 kilometers from the center of the city. Take the SS1 Via Aurelia and in less than 15 minutes you will have gotten to the center.

• From Florence Airport: the distance between the airport and Pisa is about 90 kilometers. The fastest way to access the city is taking the A11 in direction to the west, as the trip won’t take you more than 1 hour. However, this route includes a toll. So, if you prefer, take the SGC Firenze-Pisa-Livorno and in less than 1 hour and 5 minutes you will be enjoying your destination.

Renting a car in Pisa is a really good idea if you want to move all over the city and its surroundings, or simply all over the region of Toscana.
