About the Florence Airport (FLR), Italy

About Florence Airport, Italy

Florence Airport (FLR), officially named Aeroporto di Firenze-Peretola, is the main airport serving the capital of Tuscany. Located just 3 miles (5 km) northwest of the city center, the airport is a convenient gateway to Florence and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Renting a car at Florence Airport is the perfect way to explore the rolling hills, vineyards, medieval villages, and coastal towns that make this region one of Italy’s most beloved destinations.

Airport facilities and services

FLR features a single passenger terminal with essential amenities such as cafés, small shops, rental counters, ATMs, and free Wi-Fi. Though compact, the airport offers a streamlined arrival and departure experience. Nearby accommodations include Hotel Novotel Firenze Nord Aeroporto and Starhotels Tuscany.

Transportation to and from the airport

Florence city center is accessible by taxi, bus, or tram. However, renting a car is the best option for travelers looking to explore beyond the city limits — including destinations like Chianti, San Gimignano, Siena, Pisa, and the coastal region of Maremma.

How to rent a car at Florence Airport

Car rental offices are located in a separate area called the “Palagio degli Spini,” just outside the terminal. A free shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes to take passengers to the rental car area. Providers include Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Sixt, Maggiore, Enterprise, and Leasys. Booking in advance with Rentcars guarantees the best prices, fast service, and optional add-ons like GPS, baby seats, and full insurance coverage.

  • Fuel stations: Available near the airport and throughout Tuscany. Most are self-service and open 24/7.
