Sixt Car Hire in Bologna Train Station

Bologna Train Station is one of the busiest in Italy, often being the main point of arrival for countless tourists visiting this ancient city.

One of the oldest and most respected car hire companies in Europe, Sixt, maintains a centre in the train station, and offers rental cars ranging from affordable, family-friendly vehicles to luxurious sports cars and convertibles. You can even hire a 4x4 if you plan on visiting more rustic areas. Sixt has numerous locations scattered across Italy, making it simple to return your car rental, no matter where you decide to travel. Opting for a car rental with Sixt is the easiest way to get around Bologna, and avoid the stress of trying to navigate an unfamiliar public transit system.

What to see in Bologna and nearby

Bologna and its surrounding municipalities are located in Emilia-Romagna, a scenic Italian region with a long and rich history. Bologna is the largest city and the heart of the region, and the perfect home base for exploring the country. It is simple to hire a car here, and then visit neighbouring Renaissance cities such as Modena, Parma and Ferrara. You can go on day trips to visit the Villa San Donnino in Modena, or the Teatro Farnese in Parma, for example, and then return to Bologna in the evening, taking advantage of the region's well-maintained highways and roads.

Bologna itself is a large city, and having a car rental at your disposal makes it easy to stay at an affordable hotel outside the centre, and then drive in to sightsee during the day. Bologna has one of the most impressive historic centres in Italy, and features sights such as the famous Towers of Bologna, and the University of Bologna, the oldest university in Europe.

Having access to a car hire will enable you to visit the beautiful beaches of Rimini and Riccione, located an hour's drive to the east, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The country around Bologna has so much to offer, from these coastal resorts to the ancient inland towns, and the stunning mountains of the Apennines, and if you make good use of a car hire you won't miss out on anything. If you hire a car with Sixt you will be ready to embark on the Italian adventure of a lifetime.
