Turin Airport Car Hire Guide

Turin Airport also goes by the name of Turin-Caselle Airport. This airport serves Turin and its nearby localities, including the whole region of Piedmont in Italy. It has another name, which is Sandro Pertini Airport, after one of Italy's great presidents. The airport has seen renovations in 2005. It is located some sixteen kilometres from the town centre of Turin.

To get around town, local travel is made possible by Italy's network of rails and buses. As for the train, the nearest stop is the Ferrovia Torino-Ceres station. On the northwest side is the Dora station, which is about 19 minutes away from the airport. If you would like to take the bus instead, a bus line that serves the airport is headed towards Porta Nuova. There are taxis easily available too. The taxi rank is found on the left part of the arrivals area. These cabs can take you anywhere you wish.

But then again, the best and the most convenient transportation mode in Turin is a rented car. Hire a car from Hertz, Avis, Easy Car, Thrifty, Sixt, or Europcar to travel around the city in ease. Local car rental companies, such as Maggiore and Targarent, can be of help as well, especially during the peak season. The desks of car rental facilities are available right at the airport, making it possible for you to hire a car when you arrive.

However, the better approach to reserving a car is through the rental companies' online partners. Dealing with the online affiliates eliminates the need to drop by the car rental's office to fill out forms after a very tiring trip. Booking online saves you effort, time, and money. When you reserve a car online, you only have to go to the office of the car rental company to pick up the keys. The online partners will make sure that you car is ready when you arrive.

Travelling all over Turin is made easier with a car of your own to drive around town, even if parking is a problem sometimes. Having your own car easily accessible is always an advantage more than a disadvantage. Driving your own car around Turin can only mean comfort, luxury, and convenience for you.
