Hire car Pescara

Choosing the right car

In a big city like Pescara, parking spaces are always in short supply. Therefore, it is better to rent a small vehicle that will allow you to take advantage of tight parking spaces. During the hot summer months, it is important to make sure that your rental vehicle is equipped with air conditioning.

Insuring the car properly

In the turbulent city traffic of Pescara and on the often narrow country roads in the surrounding countryside, an accident can easily happen. You are well covered in the event of damage if you have reserved a car with comprehensive insurance without excess. For liability, you should pay attention to the amount of coverage, which you will find under the rental conditions.

It should be at least one million euros. Because if people are injured in an accident, very high costs arise quickly. If the coverage amount of your rental company seems too low, you can provide further protection with a so-called Mallorca policy. Talk to your insurance company.

Accessories

You must always order accessories such as a navigation device or child seat separately and in good time from your rental company. Only in this way can you be sure that your desired equipment is also available on the day of the rental.

Tank control

With most hire car companies in Pescara, you can pick up the car with a full tank of fuel and then return it with a full tank of gas. As this is a neat and transparent solution, be sure to book with a rental company that does the same.

Customer Satisfaction Hire Car

Although most of the customers are satisfied with the hire car service in Pescara, some of them still complain about long queues at the hire car counters. Especially when returning the vehicle, you should allow enough time to avoid missing the plane because of a long wait.

When you take delivery of the car, you should inspect the vehicle carefully. Get written confirmation of any damage, such as scratches or dents. This is the only way you can be sure that you won’t be held responsible for damage you didn’t cause when you return the car.

Find a good hotel

Most tourists are drawn to the smaller towns on the coast. Therefore, the choice of hotels in Pescara is limited. We recommend the Victoria Hotel. It is centrally located and has stylish rooms that are very comfortable.
