By Car
| In Italy motorways require a toll. You pay it when you leave the motorway; a ticket automatically issued to the driver when entering the motorway is required for payment. You can use most major credit cards in automatic machines in the lanes marked: "FastPay" or "Viacard". |
If you are not familiar with the competitive European (and, in particular, Italian) way of driving, avoid long journeys by car; it is quite different to travel 200 or 300 miles in Italy or in the United States, and in particular it is difficult to estimate the required time. |
Car rental fees depend on the car type and the length of the rental period; and may increase if the car is returned to a different location. The lowest fee is of 50 Euros per day; inquire locally at your favorite international car rental company for more information. Car rentals available at Venezia airport are: Hertz,Thrifty, Avis, Maggiore, Europcar, Sixt. |
If you are going to come by car, make sure that your hotel has a parking lot, as parking in the centre of Padova might be quite difficult. |
