Car rental at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport

Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA), named after the great Genoese navigator, is just 6 km from the city centre and built on an artificial sea platform. A unique position that makes it one of Italy's most striking airports. Picking up a rental car at GOA means immediate freedom of movement to explore Genoa and all of Liguria.

On Tino Rent you can compare offers from the main rental companies in the arrivals area and choose the most suitable vehicle for your itinerary, whether you want to visit the historic centre of Genoa or set off for the Cinque Terre and the eastern Riviera.

Genoa: Aquarium, Old Port and UNESCO

Genoa is a city that astonishes those who discover it: the Old Port, designed by Renzo Piano, hosts the Genoa Aquarium — the largest in Europe — the tropical Biosphere and the Neptune Galleon. The medieval historic centre, the largest still-inhabited one in Europe, is a labyrinth of fragrant caruggi and artisan workshops.

The Strade dei Rolli, the noble palaces from the 16th-17th centuries inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List, bear witness to the commercial power of the Serenissima Republic. Via Garibaldi with its frescoed palaces is an absolute marvel. With your rental car you can also reach Portofino in just 30 minutes, taking the scenic coastal Via Aurelia.

Ligurian itinerary: from Cinque Terre to Portofino

With a rental car collected at GOA you can drive the entire Ligurian Riviera in full autonomy. On day one explore Genoa: Old Port, Aquarium and a walk through the caruggi. On day two head to Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, leaving the car in the dedicated car parks and exploring the village on foot.

Days three and four are ideal for the Cinque Terre, reachable in about an hour: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Use the local train between the villages and pick up your car again in the evening. Conclude your trip towards Lerici and Portovenere, often-overlooked gems of the Gulf of Poets. A dream itinerary made possible by the freedom of car rental.

Practical tips for renting at Colombo

Genoa Airport is well connected to the centre by bus and taxi, but a rental car remains the best choice for those who want to explore Liguria off the classic tourist routes. The rental desks are available in the terminal's arrivals area and the main national and international operators are represented.

Bear in mind that parking in the Cinque Terre and at Portofino is limited and paid: plan your trips and use the park-and-ride lots where available. In high season (July-August) some coastal roads may be closed to private traffic: always check the local ordinances before setting off.
