Alamo Car Rental at Florence Peretola Airport

Florence Airport is considered to be one of the two most important airports nearby Florence, Italy, and is one of the major gateways to this popular region. The airport is also known as Peretola Airport, due to its location, or Amerigo Vespucci Airport, named after a local Italian merchant and cartographer. Alamo is one of the popular car hire companies available at the airport, along with Hertz, Avis, Sixt, Budget, National, Maggiore, Easycar and Europcar. Alamo offers their customers a wide range of vehicles, reasonable rental rates and various special offers.

Alamo’s rental counters at Florence Airport can be found in the Arrivals Terminal. This airport has two terminal buildings, one for departures and one for arrivals, with both terminals handling international and domestic flights. Alamo is available every day of the week, between the hours of 08:30 and 22:40. Alternatively, passengers can hire a vehicle in advance of their trip to Florence Airport, from Alamo’s website at www.alamo.com. Their website has all the information you need in order to arrange a great rental deal, and all the vehicle categories available at Florence Airport are displayed. There are also pictures of example vehicles in each category, along with the average seating and luggage capacities of the vehicles in each category. These capacities can be used as a general guideline when selecting your ideal sized vehicle, however, the vehicles within the categories do all vary slightly due to their manufacture.

One of the most popular vehicle categories is the Economy Class. These vehicles are fuel efficient, easy to drive and great for driving around the city. They are small and practical, and generally seat up to two adults and two children, and store one large luggage item and one smaller luggage item. A small family or couple may find these cars to be ideal. Example vehicles include the Fiat Panda Dynamic 1.2 and Ford Fiesta Titanium 1.2. Since they don’t have a lot of space for luggage, a larger vehicle may be more suitable for longer road trips. Compact vehicles are also nice, small-sized cars, and include the Alfa 147 JTD M-Jet Progression 1.6. There are also Compact Wagon vehicles available, such as the Fiat Stilo SW Active 1.9 JTD 120cv, which stores a bit more luggage than the above mentioned vehicles.

Estate vehicles are always a good option if you have lots of luggage. Alamo offers the categories of Midsize Wagon and Fullsize Wagon for this purpose, and these are great vehicles for long and short distance driving. Vehicles in the Midsize Wagon category include the Fiat Croma Dynamic MJT 1.9, seating up to two adults and three children, and the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance SW 2.2 can be hired from the Fullsize Wagon category, and this car has space for five people and four large luggage items. Other categories which contain vehicles that are ideal for five people are the Midsize category, featuring vehicles such as the VW Nuova Passat Comfortline 1.9, the Midsize Specialty range, with cars like the Mercedes B 200 CDI 2.0, and the Fullsize category, offering the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance 2.2 for hire.

Business passengers may be interested in hiring a vehicle from the Premium category at Maggiore, Florence Airport, as these vehicles have more style, class and elegance than the ordinary rented vehicle. They are ideal for any prestigious business occasion. An example vehicle offered by Alamo is the Mercedes E280 CDI Avangarde 2.8. There are also larger sized vehicles available at Alamo, which are ideal for groups of friends who would like to travel together. Alamo’s Minivan category includes the Fiat Ulyesses Dynamic 2.0, a vehicle seating up to seven people, and the Van category features the Fiat Ducato Panorama 2.8, seating up to nine people and with space for two large suitcases and one smaller luggage item.
