Car Rental Turin Airport

Located just 20km north of the city centre, leaving Turin Airport by road allows for a convenient and seamless getaway. The heart of Turin can be typically reached within 30 to 40 minutes.

The broadly grid-like street system of the city itself, harking back the roads’ Roman origins, makes for more simple navigation than many old European cities.

Local sights have a lot to offer and, as the capital of the Piedmont region – in the shadows of the spectacular Alps – the area proves popular with skiers in winter and walkers the rest of the year.

Turin Airport is on the doorstep of beauty and serenity, sitting alongside one of the most important natural parks in northern Italy. La Mandria is home to a broad range of wildlife, including deer and wild boar, and well worth a visit.

The picturesque area of Alba is just over an hour’s drive away, dotted with castles and wineries. Even closer is Asti, host of a popular and historic annual horse racing festival and twice weekly open-air markets.

A little further afield, but also within easy reach, the millionaire’s playground of Lake Como is two-and-a-half hours north east of Turin. The route to it passes by chic Milan.

Paid parking is available throughout Turin, on streets marked with blue lines and in a variety of lots. The city also operates a limited traffic zone (ZTL) in some areas. This will be heavily sign-posted, but you can ask our local team if you require more information.

Renting a car from Turin Airport offers a gateway to northern Italy, creating access to fine Italian cities, the lofty Alps and some of the most prestigious Italian lakes.

This is the place to get a true flavour of the nation in terms of landscape, architecture and cuisine.

Sacra di San Michele

An icon of the Piedmont region, Sacra Di Dan Michele is an ancient abbey that teeters at the peak of a rocky hill. This makes for an unforgettable sight from afar, but taking the effort to visit the abbey itself allows incredible views and a sense of extraordinary atmosphere.

It’s a steep hour-and-a-half hike up by foot, but it’s also possible to drive up from Avigliana and park at nearby Piazzale Croce Nera. Sacra di San Michele is 40km from Turin and accessed via Highway A32 in the direction of Bardonecchia.

Taste traditional chocolate

Turin has a long and esteemed connection with the confection industry, and has a strong claim to be one of the first European cities to produce chocolate and chocolate bars.

Expert chocolatiers around the region still produce and sell fine delicacies to this day. Hazelnut milk chocolate is a particular signature of the area, and there are many stores where you can buy and taste the local offerings – as well as factories to discover more about the production and history.

Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile

Turin is the home of the enduring Fiat car company, and boasts a museum created by one of its founders – Roberto Biscaretti di Ruffia – and fellow Italian motoring pioneer Cesare Goria Gatti.

The three-floor exhibition space takes visitors on a journey through prototype vehicles, vintage models and dream cars alike. There are more than 200 cars of high quality and historic value from both Italy and the rest of the world here. The museum centres on the creative process but also explores all aspects of motoring – making it a must for fans of all things car-related.

The museum is in a central location, and fittingly easy to access by road.

Asti

A drive out to the Province of Asti, around 60km east of Turin via the E70, offers a glimpse into another side of Italy. The area has an alluring landscape of hills, valleys and vineyards. The stunning natural scenery is punctuated with medieval towns, churches and abbeys, and is a wonderful opportunity to seek out and try traditional local cuisine.

There are also walking, cycling and horse-riding opportunities aplenty in this area, while local farms offer opportunities to stop off and try their wares. There is also a tempting golf green close to the city of Asti.

Car rental at Turin Airport puts all this and more within your reach. Reserve direct today, and the beauty of northern Italy awaits.
