A Compact car at Florence Airport, such as a Jeep Avenger, costs about £43 a day in October 2026 and fits 5 people with light luggage. A Compact seats 5 but holds 3 bags, so a full group with luggage should step up to an Intermediate like the Volkswagen T-Roc for 4 bags at £52. An Economy like the Opel Corsa costs £34 but takes only 2 bags. Automatic cars make up 54% of what is offered and cost £9 more a day than a manual, while electric and hybrid cars account for 10% combined, meaning green options are limited.
