Car Hire Bergamo Deals - Sixt rent a car
A Sixt car rental in Bergamo is a convenient and reliable way to see this fascinating city and the surrounding areas of the Lombardy region. With our branch conveniently located at Bergamo International Airport, you can pick up your car and begin to enjoy the sights of the area as soon as you land. From the airport you will find it easy to get into the city and explore the nearby countryside. We aim to provide a car hire service to suit all travellers, whether you are here for business or pleasure, a weekend break or a longer stay.
Sixt car hire Bergamo
We provide affordable rental cars for drivers on all budgets, and a price comparison will reveal how competitive our prices are. We offer a diverse fleet of cars, roomy estates and comfortable 4x4s from some of the world’s best known manufacturers including Mercedes Benz, Renault and Fiat. While we will do our best to meet your needs and preferences, we can only reserve you a rental vehicle from a particular category, not a specific model. You can make your reservation easily online, by telephone or in branch. You can find our Bergamo branch by clicking the second tab next to the location menu, where you will find a Google map of our location. There is also information about opening times here, although this branch has the advantage of a 24-hour pick-up and return service, so you can collect your car out of hours.
Our Service
You can easily personalise your car hire in Bergamo to suit your needs with our range of optional extras, which can easily be booked when you hire a car with us. All our deals come with unlimited free miles to help you make the most of your trip. In addition, you can include other drivers on your policy, and family parties can include child seats for maximum safety. Also, with the Bergamese Mountains within an hour’s drive, you may want to include a ski rack if you are travelling here for the winter sports! You can find our full range of extras online or via our mobile app, which makes it easy for you to make a booking on the go. While we cannot guarantee the availability of optional extras, we will always do our best to accommodate your needs.
Traffic Information
Bergamo is a major city, and the roads tend to be busy, so it’s advisable for first-time visitors to include Sat Nav to make things easier! This comes as standard with some of our rental vehicles. The A4 is the main motorway in and out of the city, and connects Bergamo to the east and west of the country. The city is also served by several major routes, the SS525 which enters the city from the south west, the SP35 to the north east, and the SS470, which runs around the outskirts of the city.
Sixt Tip
Bergamo is divided into the Upper City, the ancient Medieval town located on top of the hill, and the Lower City, which is the modern shopping, business and residential district. The city is also surrounded by 34 diverse villages which are known collectively as the Great Bergamo. Renowned for its longstanding tradition of excellence in the arts, Bergamo has produced several well-known artists and composers, and was the birthplace of the Bergamask folk dance.
Sightseeing Destinations
There is plenty to see and do within the city, but you don’t just have to use your car hire in Bergamo itself! Many of the surrounding areas are fascinating and are within easy driving distance. One of these is Lovere, known as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Surrounded by mountains and set on a lakeside, it offers stunning examples of Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architecture. It’s also a great place to relax!
Distance to Lovere
- From Bergamo city centre: 28 miles, about 53 minutes
- From Bergamo International Airport: 26.6 miles, about 48 minutes

Good, intuitive though pricey service. Car pick was quick and easy. Return went all wrong - app shows wrong parking spot and having flight leaving soon had to leave the car with additional car move service price. Unpleasant for the very first experience.

Perfect on every category staff, service, cars and prices!!
We arrived late due to a flight delay on Sunday night and we needed two cars to take a three and a half hours drive to livigno we asked all car rental companies in bergamo airport and the Giuseppe from sixt helped as by providing us the cars we needed. We made a lot of questions but mr. Giuseppe answered ALL of them with patience and politeness. He even delayed to finish his from work just to help us!!! Sixt is very lucky to have true professionals like Giuseppe working for them.

5 stars for Federica who was very nice, helpful, and gave me the option to choose the car I wanted instead of the one I had booked (booked a Fiat 500L, chose a Skoda Kamiq instead).
I liked that they were not pushy with extra insurance and everything was explained clearly, including getting a phone call 1 day before the return to check everything was in order.
Easy drop-off and another nice touch was that the staff member I returned the car to got me back to the airport (instead of having to take the shuttle bus from P3).
The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that Federica’s colleague (don't remember her name) made me wait until 12:00 sharp to proceed with the hiring formalities. My reservation was, indeed, for that time, but since we're being so punctual (I totally respect that), the hiring procedure at the desk should have started at 11:45 so I could have the car at 12:00 sharp since that was the time they started charging me. I have been renting cars for years, but this is the first time this happens to me, although I have been early for reservations before.
Except for that small hiccup, all in all, I would definitely hire again with them.

I rented a car here at Sixt Bergamo Airport. I was welcomed by lovely Elle, who set me up with the nice ‘Batman’ car. My overall experience was great and I also received a phone call to make sure it was easy to return the car. Overall a lovely experience and a nice ride!

Good service overall, however I would give 5 stars if they would advise better about the new parking spots! Take an extra 30 min at least when returning the car as you will have to wait for the shuttle bus also.
