Within Milan city centre it’s easy to get around by public transport and probably a lot cheaper, given that in certain parts of Milan a congestion charge applies during peak travelling hours. However, for trips into the countryside or when staying at a campsite outside of the city limits a car is essential.

The small town of Monza for example is quite beautiful and close to Milan but one has to park the Thrifty rental car at the edge of town – Monza town centre is completely pedestrianized. Here one can admire the medieval crown of the Lombardy kings in the town’s most important museum or enjoy a day out at the races. The Autodromo Nazionale holds Formula 1 GP, Superbike and similar motor racing events throughout the year.

The Oltrepò Pavese takes at least a day or two to explore and is as famous for its lovely wines as for its mouth-watering cuisine. Ideal for walking and cycling holidays as well as wine tours of the region’s historic vineyards, Oltrepò Pavese offers fantastic restaurants, wine tastings, fun and relaxation en route.

The picturesque villages of Como, Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna line the shores of Lake Como at the foothills of the Alps, a perfect destination for a weekend away.

By train it takes at least 50 minutes from Milan’s Cadorna station and once there, one is pretty much confined to the village of Como but with Thrifty car hire Milan Malpensa Airport such a trip offers far greater scope for exploration and enjoyment. The stunning villas, palazzos, temples and mansions that are dotted around the shores of Lake Como present perfect photo opportunities with their picturesque backdrops of alpine mountains, crystal clear waters, elegantly landscaped gardens and forested hills.

The elegant city of Bergamo, its streets lined with beautiful Renaissance mansions, palazzos and religious monuments, is at least one hour’s journey by train from Milan Centrale train station. There’s so much to see on a day out in Bergamo that tourist feet soon start to ache – how much more relaxing to hop into the hire car and be refreshed after a quick snooze between monuments and museums!
