How to rent a car, find taxis and car sharing

Getting around La Spezia independently is easy thanks to local mobility services.

Car rental

Several rental companies (Avis, Hertz, Europcar, etc.) operate near the main train station and the port.

You can book online or in person.

You’ll need a valid driver’s license, a credit card, and an ID document.

Taxis

Taxis are available outside the train station and in major squares.

You can call one by phone or use local apps.

Fares are regulated and vary depending on distance and time.

Car sharing

La Spezia also offers car-sharing services — a great solution if you want flexibility without owning a car.

Vehicles can be booked via app, unlocked with your phone, and paid per minute or kilometer.

Pro tip

During summer and weekends, booking in advance is smart — demand is high and availability limited.
