At Florence Airport, security deposits range from $0 with Locauto to $1,731 with Centauro, and only 5 of the 22 desks accept a standard debit card. Another 4 desks take a debit card for some cars only, while 13 counters strictly require a credit card. Because payment policies vary widely, filter for a debit card before comparing prices. Any extra items charged at the counter appear beneath each car in the search results.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The main traps at Florence Airport are rigid payment card rules at the counter and long queues at certain desks. Credit cards are mandatory at 13 of the 22 desks, so arriving with only a debit card leaves you stranded before you even reach the autostrada. Desk waits can also slow your departure, reaching 30 minutes at Keddy by Europcar and 25 minutes at Alamo or Locauto. Italian city centres restrict driving through strictly enforced camera zones, so point your car straight out towards the motorway.

Only 87% of prices at Florence Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

A Compact car like a Jeep Avenger at Florence Airport costs around $58 a day booked a month ahead for October 2026. It seats 5 people but holds only 3 bags, so a full group with luggage will leave bags on laps unless you step up to an Intermediate like a Volkswagen T-Roc, which holds 4 bags for $70 a day. Automatic cars make up 54% of what is offered, but across the year an automatic Compact costs $90 a day, which is $12 more a day than a manual at $78. Electric and hybrid cars are 10% of cars offered, so reserving one early is essential if you want an alternative fuel.
