Italy Car Hire-The Best Way To See the Sights of Italy

There's nowhere quite like Italy for getting away from it all. The slow pace of life, the old-fashioned values and of course the delicious food. Italian food is famous for its fresh and wholesome flavours and there's no better place to sample the food than in traditional trattorias and pizzerias. From freshly cooked tortellinis to delicious pizzas you'll never go hungry in Italy. Then of course there's the wonderful hospitality. Italy is renowned for its warm welcomes, which you'll no doubt experience for yourself with Italy car hire.
People thought we were mad to book a car in Rome, what with all the stereotypes about hot-headed drivers beeping and revving their way around town, not to mention the waspish vespas zooming in and out of traffic. We went ahead anyway despite all reasonable protestations. After picking up the car from Argus Car Hire Rome Ciampino Airport, we were on our way to an adventure-and a half!

It was great to get away from all the usual tour groups. Guidebooks at the ready, we were free to do our own thing, discover history and culture away at our own pace. The best thing was were weren't confined to the city either, we got out in the open and experiences lost towns and villages. We visited the beautiful villas of Tivoli and the crumbling ruins of the port town of Ancient Ostia. We couldn't have enjoyed as many experiences, had we just booked a guided tour. Italy car hire offers so much in terms of potential. The pretty landscapes and beautiful backdrops mean that it's only a matter of time before we'll be heading back on a return journey!

After getting cheap Ryanair flights to Pisa, we found a great little apartment that would suit the four of us down to the ground. Luckily it was well within our budget. The only problem was that it would be a bit of a trek from the airport to our accomodation. It was then that the idea of car hire crossed our minds-with the extra money we saved on flights and accomodation, we could afford to splash out. We checked around the internet and found Argus Car Hire to be offering the best offers. Like a price comparison site, they show you a range of options that are within your budget and dates. We got a great deal on a Toyota Yaris.

We also had a lot more freedom than we would have had, had we relied purely on local taxi companies. Pisa is a great destination and we found al ot more to it than the famous leaning tower. Tuscany is brimming with charming destinations that are within easy reach with car hire. We would definitely recommend a day in the Chianti region, as well as San Gimignano and Siena.

Amazing Car Hire Deals In Italy

On a last minute whim we decided to take a chance on booking a 7 day break in Sardinia. After a little detective work, we discovered that our resort town of Alghero was fairly quiet and not high on fun and adventure. What could we do to liven up our destination? The answer was simple-car hire. Car hire Alghero Airport would allow us not only to avoid the crowded tourist transportation, but also give us the freedom to discover the island. Although our resort was stunningly pretty, there wasn't much to do but enjoy the scenery. Hopping in our little car, we were free to discover the beautiful vineyards of Sella and Mosca in the mountains, as well as the nearby historic town of Bosa. There was always the option of travelling to the richman's playground of the Smeralda Coast too, so we decided to save the voyage for mid-week. Visiting the Smeralds Coast, it's easy to see why celebrities and dignitaries flock here in the summer months. It's a beautiful place to party and there's always something fun going on. The marina is spectacular too. You'll definitely enjoy checking out the fancy yachts and shiny boats. At the moment, Argus Car Hire is offering Alghero car hire from just €28 per day- well worth it for all the extra travel options that car hire offers!
