Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ)?
Yes, and you have plenty of choice. After you've disembarked and grabbed your bags, simply walk to the rental car centre on the ground floor of the terminal. Here you can arrange a booking with trusted companies like Hertz / Firefly / Dollar / Thrifty, Locauto / Enterprise / Alamo / National and Europcar. If you're after more options, also check out Sicily / Autoeuropa and Maggiore.
What happens if I need to cancel my Bologna car reservation?
No need to worry. You should receive a total refund if you cancel more than six hours before collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to check the rental policy.
