    By Car

    In Italy motorways require a toll. You pay it when you leave the motorway; a ticket automatically issued to the driver when entering the motorway is required for payment. You can use most major credit cards in automatic machines in the lanes marked: "FastPay" or "Viacard".

    If you are not familiar with the competitive European (and, in particular, Italian) way of driving, avoid long journeys by car; it is quite different to travel 200 or 300 miles in Italy or in the United States, and in particular it is difficult to estimate the required time.

    Car rental fees depend on the car type and the length of the rental period; and may increase if the car is returned to a different location. The lowest fee is of 50 Euros per day; inquire locally at your favorite international car rental company for more information. Car rentals available at Venezia airport are: Hertz,Thrifty, Avis, Maggiore, Europcar, Sixt.

    If you are going to come by car, make sure that your hotel has a parking lot, as parking in the centre of Padova might be quite difficult.
