Hiring a car at Bologna Central Train Station

Bologna is the capital city of northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. Famous for its architecture, culture, and cuisine, it's an attractive holiday destination in its own right, as well as a welcoming stopping point for travellers touring Italy by train.

Places to visit in Bologna include the oldest university in Western Europe, the National Gallery, and the two leaning Towers of Bologna at Le Due Torri. The tallest of two towers is open to the public. A climb up its 498 steps will take you to the top, where you'll be rewarded with a panoramic view of the city's terracotta rooftops and its surrounding area.

Bologna is proud of its gastronomical heritage. In fact, one of Bologna's nicknames is La Grassa, the fat one. It's well worth sampling many of the delicious local specialities. In addition to bolognese sauce, this region also brought us tortellini. A popular legend relates how a cross-eyed innkeeper from Bologna was once visited by the goddess Venus, and because he was so taken by her navel, he created tortellini in an attempt to duplicate it.

Renting a car for your stay in Bologna gives you the freedom to tour the city and visit other nearby regions, such as Maranello, the home of Ferrari, as well as the World Heritage town of Ferrara.

To rent a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the United States and Canada, you will need the following:

  • To be 25 years old 
  • A valid driving licence with a photo
  • A photo ID (for example: a driving licence or passport)
  • Credit or debit card (check the acceptable forms of payment at the location you're renting from)

Some locations may require additional information, including but not limited to: 

  • An International Driving Permit (IDP): If the licence is written in a language or characters different from those of the country of rental, an IDP is also required. Renters are advised to check whether local authorities require foreign drivers to present an International Driving Permit to avoid the risk of potential fines. Renters with licences from countries that are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation.
  • Return travel and accommodation information: Visitors to the UK must also provide proof of return travel and accommodation information while in the UK. 

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

Fuel policy at non-airport locations:

  • You may refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you picked up the vehicle, or if you choose not to refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level, you will be charged the local Enterprise rate which is typically above the local pump price. An additional refuelling charge may apply at some locations.
  • A full tank of fuel is not guaranteed.

Fuel policy at airport car rental locations:

  • You may opt to pre-pay for fuel — pre-pay gives you two conveniences:
    • You can avoid the hassle of having to fuel up the vehicle before returning.
    • The pre-pay fuel option is calculated at the local rate of fuel minus a per gallon discount.

Note: Pre-paid fuel is only sold in full tanks at the discounted price per gallon and is not refundable. Local fuel rates will vary by the area you are renting a vehicle.
