How to save on a one-way car rental from Florence to Venice
- Check nearby dates. Rental prices can change by pickup date, inventory and availability. If your schedule is flexible, compare a day or two either side of your planned dates. Another day is not guaranteed to be cheaper.
- Compare more than one car category. In the three-day sample search, Small had the lowest observed total at $118. SUV at $176 undercut Large at $248 by a wide margin, so open SUV before Large if you need more space, while Medium sat at $134.
- Compare the full one-way total. The booking total is more useful than the daily rate alone. One-way pricing for Florence to Venice can depend on the vehicle, booking conditions and the exact pickup and return locations. Motorway toll paid at the booths is separate from that rental total.
- Compare practical pickup and return locations. In our sample, Florence pickups included Florence Airport, city branches and station-area desks. Airport pickups included the lowest observed totals. Venice returns used city locations. Compare the combinations that fit your trip.
- Offers included both Manual and Automatic cars. The lowest observed total was a manual, while Automatic appeared more often. Confirm the gearbox on the car you book.
Tips for a one-way car rental from Florence to Venice
For this 163 mi Florence to Venice rental, about 3h, confirm the Florence pickup, the A1 to A13 sequence via Bologna, and your exact Venice-area return before you leave.
-
If collecting at Florence Airport
Florence Airport rental desks sit on Via Palagio degli Spini, not at the passenger terminal. Follow Autonoleggi signs to the shuttle from the short-stay car park outside the terminal. Europcar also listed Via Forlanini 2, so confirm the voucher address. This airport area sits outside Florence's historic-centre ZTL.
-
Follow the city desk's ZTL exit
Some city desks sit inside or next to Florence's camera-controlled historic-centre ZTL, including Borgo Ognissanti and Via Palazzuolo. Via Gioberti and the Santa Maria Novella station ring sit outside that zone. If your desk is inside or next to a camera gate, use the company's signed exit. Do not improvise through another restricted gate.
-
Leave A1 at Casalecchio, then join A13
From Florence's western viali the usual run joins A1 north at Firenze Scandicci. Airport pickups reach A1 at a different Florence junction. At Bologna, leave A1 on the Casalecchio connector onto A14, then join A13 at Bologna Arcoveggio toward Padova. A1 does not become A13 directly. After Padova, take A4 toward Venice, then A57 Tangenziale di Mestre, not the Passante.
-
Keep your ticket until Venezia Mestre
A1 and A13 use a closed toll system. Take an entry ticket at the booth, including Firenze Scandicci on the city-side run, and keep it until you exit at Venezia Mestre. Pay by card or cash in a matching lane. Do not enter a Telepass-only lane unless your rental includes a compatible device. No euro amount is published here.
-
Do not drive into historic Venice
Venice's historic centre is not a place you drive a rental into. Cars stop at mainland or lagoon road-access points, then you continue without the car. Offers used Venice as the drop-off city without a listed street. Confirm the exact return address and hours on your voucher before you leave Florence.
-
Budget fuel for the A1 and A13 run
Our estimate puts fuel at about $35 to $55 for this drive. Include that beside the rental total. Fuel is a real extra cost on the A1 and A13 run, separate from the motorway toll.

Yes. The usual Florence–Venice motorway run uses toll sections on the A1 and A13, including the Firenze Scandicci booth leaving Florence. No euro amount is published here, so check current charges before you travel. A toll-free alternative exists, but it still adds distance.
Budget roughly $35–$55 for fuel on the Florence–Venice drive. Tolls are separate, and the final fuel cost still depends on the vehicle and where you fill up.
No — not into the historic centre. Cars stop at the road-access points such as Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, then you continue on foot, by vaporetto or other local transport. That is about where vehicles can go, not where every rental company accepts returns, so pick a Venice-area drop-off branch carefully when you book.
Yes — and by a wide margin. SUV starts at $59 per day, while Large starts at $83 per day — about 29% less for the SUV. If you need a bigger car for Florence to Venice, compare the SUV label before assuming Large is the next step up.
