Many people hear the word Pisa and the first thing that comes to their mind is the Leaning Tower, which has come to gain worldwide popularity as one of the world’s curious phenomenon. Linking Pisa to the Leaning Tower alone, however, is doing a great injustice to a town whose background is that of once being a maritime republic and has a lot more to offer to both guests and locals alike. It has a rich boisterous ancient architecture belonging to the baroque and Romanesque ages as well as being home to not one, nor two; but 3 of the most important universities in the country. This gives it the status of a university city with a very buzzing warm energy radiating from the youth who are the majority here.

Find the most suitable car hire company

Upon touching down at the Pisa Airport Galileo Galileo, it is easy to find a company that will allow you hire a car for use for whatever period you may wish. It could be a day, 2 weeks or even 3 months. The choice is completely up to you. Before renting a car, however, make sure you perform adequate research to equip you with information on the various car rental agencies in Pisa, as well as their policies and rules. For most agencies, for instance, the minimum rental age should be 21 and young customers between 21 and 25 attract a surcharge on top of the basic charge. Also, some agencies do not rent automobiles to the elderly above the age of 70 but again, this varies from one agency to another.

Hire a car and enjoy driving in Italy

Driving is Italy is a very pleasant experience, what with the roads being in such great shape and signage being clearly written according to standard symbols. There are, however, a couple of things to keep in mind before driving off in Pisa. For starters, driving is on the right side and the maximum speed limit is 80 mph, failure of which will attract a fine on the spot. Also note that if you are a visually impaired driver who employs the use of correctional glasses, you should always carry an extra pair in the car probably in case anything comes up and you lose the pair you’re currently wearing or break them.

With a car rental you will be able to tour every bit of this city. Did you know, for instance, that there are 2 other leaning towers in Pisa: the Bell Tower of San Michele of Scalzi Church as well as the Bell tower of San Nicola Church?
