Florence Airport Car Rental

Quick summary: Florence Airport, officially Amerigo Vespucci and also known as Peretola, is just outside the city. Car rentals are at the “Palagio degli Spini” area, linked to the terminal by a free shuttle bus that stops in the short-term car park just outside. The drive into Florence usually takes 20 to 40 minutes, but the historic center is a ZTL, so plan to park outside it and walk.
