The Italy Car Rental Market

Depending on where you look for a car rental in Europe, the market will vary dramatically. In some countries, such as the UK, France, and Germany, the market is absolutely saturated by giant multi-national car rental companies; however, in other European countries (usually those with smaller airports and urban centers), only two or three car rental companies will provide services for travelers. The Italy car rental market falls somewhere in the middle. It certainly isn't saturated with multi-nationals, but it isn't a small market, either.

The largest Italy car rental firm is actually Alamo, which is American-based. Alamo currently rents out of five European countries: Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy – and mainly concentrates its businesses around airports.

Alamo offers 13 different car models for prospective Italy care rental service users – all of which are American cars manufactured by General Motors. The smallest model they offer for Italy care rental services is a Chevy Aveo, which is their economy model, and is capable of carrying two adults, two children, and two large suitcases.

Alamo also offers larger Italy care rental models, but they are considerably more expensive. Their Cadillac Escalade model, for instance, can carry four adults, three children, one baby, three large suit cases, and two additional small suitcases. If you are taking a family vacation, you may want to consider the Escalade; however, it will cost you up to twice as much in per-week rates.

If you don't want to settle for Alamo for your Italy car rental services, you can always check out Orbitz, which will show you all of the comparative rates for Italy care rental companies – and will give you additional leads in your hunt for good transportation on your next vacation or business trip.
