Why choose Autovia Car rental without surprises:
Car rental without surprises:
our concrete commitments
Many rental companies promise transparency. Autovia demonstrates it with three operational guarantees that translate into a concrete experience for every customer.
24/7
Always active assistance Breakdown on the highway at 3 in the morning, accident in a city you don't know: our roadside assistance service is operational every day of the year, including holidays, throughout the national territory. A multilingual team responds quickly and coordinates the intervention.
8 months
Young and controlled fleet Renting an outdated car is not the same as driving a serviced, updated vehicle ready to offer an experience that meets expectations. The average age of the Autovia fleet is 8 months: higher safety standards, lower consumption, current on-board technologies.
0 hidden costs
Transparency from quote to return The price you see at booking is the price you find on the invoice. Protection plans, the deposit, and any possible supplement are communicated before confirmation. No unexpected post-rental charges.
story
Who is Autovia: Italian car rental since 1999
Autovia was founded in Trento in 1999 by a group of automotive professionals with a clear goal: to build an Italian alternative to the major international car rental multinationals, with a service closer to the customer and clearer conditions.
In twenty-five years, that small Trentino company has become one of the most extensive car rental networks in Italy, with nearly 50 locations across airports and railway stations, a fleet of 10,000 vehicles and an international presence in Albania, Turkey and the United States.
The model has not changed: organized structure, proven processes, trained staff at every location. What has grown is the ability to cover every mobility need, from a one-day rental to dedicated corporate fleet solutions.
Experience
Over 25 years of daily operations in car rental in Italy, with direct knowledge of the needs of individuals and businesses across the country.
Reliability
Standardized processes certified to ISO 9001, dedicated staff at every location, counter waiting times among the lowest in the industry.
Transparency
Rates with no hidden extra charges, easy-to-read protection plans, deposit communicated before confirmation.

The car rental company met my expectations with fast and friendly service. It's just a shame the windshield washer fluid was missing and the inside of the windows were very dirty.

Everything went well with the rental. Car was lovely and service was good. Gentleman on counter was helpful although both times went there he was alone, so we had to wait a bit.

The experience was very good. The pick-up and drop-off process was very quick and straightforward. The staff were also very helpful and professional. Most importantly, they don’t try to surprise you with hidden or extra charges when you return the vehicle. Very professional and trustworthy.

This was my first time renting a car from Autovia, and the entire experience at Brindisi Airport was very smooth, from collecting the keys to returning the vehicle. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful throughout the rental. Sara was especially helpful, and the staff member who assisted us when we returned the car was equally welcoming and professional.

Behind every rental there is an operational structure divided into specialized areas, coordinated to ensure continuity of service at every location and at every moment of the day.
