Rent premium cars in Florence

Chianti Hills. South of the city, the Chianti back roads reward a car with real handling—narrow, winding, and lined with vineyards. Parking at wineries is informal, so a compact luxury coupe or convertible suits the terrain better than a larger SUV.

San Gimignano. The medieval towers sit on a hilltop reachable by a straightforward country drive from Florence. Cars are left outside the walls in dedicated lots, making an early departure worthwhile before coach groups arrive.

Siena. Siena's centre has its own restricted zone, similar in spirit to Florence's ZTL, so plan to park on the periphery and walk in. The drive itself, through open Tuscan countryside, is part of the appeal.

Versilia Coast. West toward the coast, towns like Forte dei Marmi draw a different crowd—beach clubs, marinas, and a flatter, faster road than the hill routes inland. A grand tourer or convertible fits the coastal pace well.

Mugello

Mugello. North of Florence, the Mugello valley combines mountain roads with the well-known circuit of the same name. It's a natural choice for anyone renting a performance car specifically to drive, not just to arrive.
