The type of car you choose for your car hire in Venice should suit your itinerary. Since Venice is a relatively small city with narrow streets and tight parking spaces, it's advisable to opt for a compact or mid-sized car. This will make manoeuvring easier and parking more convenient. If you plan on exploring further out of the city, then rather opt for a larger SUV-type car that has air conditioning, as it can get very hot in Venice.

The speed limits in Venice are enforced, so drive with caution and watch for changing road networks. In most residential areas and in the city, the speed limit is 25 mph. This lower speed limit is in place to prioritise the safety of pedestrians and reduce the risk of accidents in areas with high foot traffic. The speed limit on multi-lane urban roads can range from 35 to 45 mph, and on rural roads and highways, speed limits can range from 55 to 70 mph, depending on the specific road and its characteristics. Interstate highways generally have a speed limit of 65 to 75 mph.
