For a long time Bergamo Airport, officially referred to as Aeroporto di Bergamo Orio al Serio – BGY was Milan’s smallest airport, in terms of passenger traffic.

In 2016 Bergamo Airport served over 11 million passengers, a large part of them Ryanair customers.

Although the price is often very inviting, do make sure to compare also rental conditions, as sometimes those may be less competitive than in case of more expensive offers. Low rate often means considerably more expensive additional services (GPS, baby chair, second driver, etc..), less advantageous fuel policy or mileage limitations. Also the excess and thus also the security deposit are usually high in low-priced offers.

Regardless of the car rental provider, it is always recommended to read carefully the rental conditions in order to determine whether the offer is ideal for the purposes of the trip.

Car rental Bergamo - cross-border travels
Bergamo Airport is the northernmost airport of Italy, only 1.5 h drive from the border with Switzerland and also not far from borders with France, Austria and Slovenia. If you are planning to travel to any of those countries, or even further, to Croatia,  in your rental car from Bergamo Airport, do check if rental conditions allow cross-border travels and to which countries.

Bergamo Airport car hire deals
During the high season, the cheapest rental cars at Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport are usually available from about £120 for a 7-days rental of a small city car, typically a Fiat 500, an Opel Adam, a Fiat Panda, or similar. This type of a car is a practical solution for one or two on a city break in Italy, as a cheap and easy to park run-around. Groups of 3 or 4, people with large amount of luggage and/or travelling long distances will be surely more comfortable in larger and better equipped cars.

The difference in price between mini and economy class is often insignificant which makes renting a Fiat Punto, a Ford Fiesta, a VW Polo or an Opel Corsa a much better solution.

At the other end of the scale, and for those who wish to travel in style, are luxury rental cars which in Bergamo Airport come in a great variety. Audi R8 Spyder, McLaren MP4 or the Italian supercars Ferrari California, Maserati Granturismo and Lamborghini Huracan are just some of the premium cars to rent in Milan-Bergamo.

Maserati Granturismo – the amazing driving experience in an open top supercar.

The majority of premium hire cars at Bergamo Airport is provided by the Italian company King Rent, which specializes in luxury rentals.

There are, of course, little or no savings to be made when renting the most expensive cars on the markets. Be prepared for a very high excess and security deposit which will often require more than one credit card to cover.
