Renting a car in Turin

Freedom, autonomy and zero stress: explore Turin, the Langhe and the Alps at your own pace

Visiting Turin is an experience rich in history, culture and Piedmontese flavours. Moving between the city, the Monferrato hills, the UNESCO-listed Langhe and the Olympic Alpine valleys is the best way to discover the extraordinary variety of the area. A rental car gives you the freedom to explore without time constraints, reaching villages, wineries, castles and ski resorts less than an hour from the centre.

Turin is compact and well served by public transport, but anyone wishing to venture beyond the historic centre quickly discovers how much easier a car makes everything. From the Barolo wineries to the Savoy residences outside the city, from the Reggia di Venaria to the Sacra di San Michele, all the way to the ski slopes of Sestriere and Bardonecchia: having your own vehicle means turning every day into a tailor-made adventure.
