Car Hire Ancona
If you've come to Ancona, the chances are that you've arrived by sea from somewhere around the Adriatic or that's where you're heading. Whether passing through or staying a while, it pays to hire a car for at least a few days to see the sights in and around this small but important city.
Top of the list of places you must see is the city's cathedral which is perched on top of the Guasco Hill overlooking the city. In the height of summer, renting a car in Ancona will save you the hot, sticky and tiring climb from the lower town – especially if you pre-book your hire car with air-conditioning.
Driving Guide & Places To Go in Ancona
The cathedral is magical with a twelve sided cupola and an interior ceiling formed in the design of an upturned boat. The views out over the city from the cathedral's raised position are worth the journey alone.
For something a little unusual and typically Italian, visit Serenellini's Accordion Factory where you can watch the instruments being made by hand before taking a short trip round the factory's museum to find out the history of the plaintive sounding instrument.
Be sure to use your hire car to see the 18 metre high Arch of Trajan, one of the finest commemorative arches dating from the Roman period. Despite being stripped of its embellishments, it is still beautiful in its simplicity. Out of Ancona, you can take a ferry ride to Greece, Turkey or Croatia but if sticking to land transport, your Ancona car rental will be very useful with the A14 motorway passing the city on its way north to San Marino and Bologna or south to Pescara or for an extended day trip to Rome.
The nearest airport to Ancona is only six miles away and our great value hire cars are available at Ancona Airport too! Just follow the SS75, looking out for the signs for Ancona and you can enter the city via the coast road or the inland route off the A14. Ryanair offer budget flights from London's Stansted Airport to the city so getting there will be nearly as cheap as your car hire.
