McRent Vicenza c/o Guglielmi AutocaravanVia San Feliciano 36, 36045 Alonte VicenzaView map
Hiring a motorhome in Vicenza opens the road to a quieter side of the Veneto than its neighbours: the city of Andrea Palladio, its palaces, its Teatro Olimpico and the Villa La Rotonda, all UNESCO World Heritage, then the wooded Berici Hills to the south and the Asiago Plateau to the north. Our partner company McRent offers motorhomes sleeping three to six, for couples and families alike.
Its depot is not in the city but in Alonte, on the south-western slope of the Berici Hills, about twenty kilometres from the centre: bear this in mind before booking a train or a flight.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Vicenza?
Best time
April to June
April to June
highs 18 to 27 °C, lows 7 to 17 °C
April and June are among the most pleasant months in Vicenza, mild and bright, ideal for walking the Berici trails or strolling under the arcades of the Basilica Palladiana. May, on the other hand, is by far the wettest month of the year, with frequent showers and storms. The roads of the Asiago Plateau clear of snow as spring goes on.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 29 °C, lows 19 °C
The Vicenza plain becomes hot and sultry, and afternoons are ill-suited to city sightseeing. This is the season of the Asiago Plateau, at around a thousand metres above sea level, where the alpine pastures are grazed and the summer dairies sell their cheese. In the mountains, storms often break late in the day: set off early for hikes on the Pasubio.
Best time
September and October
September to October
highs 19 to 24 °C, lows 10 to 15 °C
The grape harvest brings the hills of Gambellara and the Berici to life, and the mild weather makes it possible to visit the villas without the summer heat. Rain clearly returns, though: September is the second wettest month of the year, and October shortens the days. The Po Delta then welcomes many migratory birds.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 8 to 14 °C, lows -1 to 5 °C
Nights freeze in January and fog often covers the plain in the morning. The Asiago Plateau turns into a cross-country skiing area, while Vicenza can be discovered in peace, from the rooms of Palazzo Chiericati to the frescoes of Villa Valmarana ai Nani. A well-heated motorhome and parking areas open all year round are essential.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Stock up in Lonigo
The Alonte depot lies in open countryside, at the foot of the Berici Hills, far from any shops. Lonigo, the small neighbouring town a few kilometres away, has supermarkets and petrol stations to fill the fridge, the water bottles and the tank before the first stage. It is also a good starting point towards the Rocca Pisana and the vineyards of western Vicenza province.
Approaching Vicenza's centre
The historic heart, from the Teatro Olimpico to Piazza dei Signori, is a limited traffic zone with camera-monitored entrances. Leave the motorhome in an outlying car park or a dedicated motorhome area, then walk in along Corso Palladio. The Monte Berico road climbs to the basilica and its viewpoint over the city, but the esplanade fills up quickly at weekends.
La Rotonda and Villa Valmarana
Villa La Rotonda and Villa Valmarana ai Nani, decorated with frescoes by the Tiepolos, are only a few minutes apart at the foot of Monte Berico, linked by a footpath. The interiors of La Rotonda open on certain days only: check the opening times before planning your day and park at the bottom of the hill.
A4 and A31 motorways
Vicenza is served by the A4, which runs west to Verona and east to Padua and Venice, and by the A31 Valdastico, which crosses it from south to north: towards the Polesine plain on one side, towards Piovene Rocchette and the foot of the Asiago Plateau on the other. Both are toll roads; check your vehicle's toll class.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Vicenza
Where can I pick up a motorhome in Vicenza?
Our partner company McRent hands over its motorhomes at Guglielmi Autocaravan, Via San Feliciano in Alonte, about twenty kilometres south-west of Vicenza. The appointment time is in your confirmation. For a wider choice, Verona is 45 km away as the crow flies and Venice 60 km: also run a search on these departure cities.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Vicenza?
The rate depends on the season, the length of hire, the motorhome category and the options chosen: a midsummer departure for the Asiago Plateau cannot be compared with an autumn rental. Run a search with your dates to get the actual prices, mandatory fees included, and book the chosen offer directly.
Which motorhomes can I hire in Vicenza?
McRent presents its fleet by category rather than by model. The offers observed range from a vehicle with four seats and three berths, suited to a couple, to several motorhomes with six seats and six berths for families; an intermediate category has six seats but four berths. The details of each category are given in the offer.
Can I do a one-way trip from Vicenza?
Several of our partners' departure cities are close by: Verona 45 km away as the crow flies, Venice and Sommacampagna 60 km, then, in Emilia, Modena, Anzola dell'Emilia and Calderara di Reno, the last two near Bologna, a little over 110 km away. Enter the return city in the search to see which offers accept it.
How many days should I plan from Vicenza?
Three to four days are enough for the Berici and Euganean Hills, four to five for the Pasubio and the Asiago Plateau or for the Po Delta. In ten days, you can combine hills, mountains and lagoons without long stages. Keep a full day for Vicenza itself, preferably before pick-up or after returning the vehicle, to get around on foot without worrying about parking.

The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Motorhome hire in Vicenza
What licence do I need for a motorhome hired in Vicenza?
A category B licence is enough for motorhomes with a total weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes, which is the case for standard rental vehicles. With a licence issued outside the European Union, Italy generally requires an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and years of driving experience required by the rental company are given in the offer's conditions.
Which airport should I choose for a departure from Vicenza?
Vicenza has no commercial flights. Verona Villafranca airport is the most convenient for Alonte, about an hour's drive away; Venice Marco Polo is a little further, and Treviso mainly handles low-cost flights. A regional train to Vicenza or Lonigo, then a taxi, will get you to the depot: let the rental company know your arrival time.
Where can I spend the night in a motorhome around Vicenza?
Several towns in the Berici Hills and on the Asiago Plateau have aree di sosta, areas reserved for motorhomes, often paying and equipped with a waste disposal point. On the plateau, campsites welcome motorhomes around Asiago and Gallio; in the hills, agritourism farms and wine estates also offer a pitch. Elsewhere, sleeping on board depends on each town's by-laws.
Can I reach Lake Garda or the Dolomites from Vicenza?
Yes: the southern shore of Lake Garda is about an hour away by motorway via Verona, and the Valsugana leads in a little over an hour and a half to the lakes of Levico and Caldonazzo, at the gateway to the Trentino Dolomites. Vicenza therefore also suits a longer trip, provided you adapt the mountain stages to the size of the vehicle.
Do I need winter equipment for the Asiago Plateau?
Yes: during the cold season, generally from mid-November to mid-April, the roads of the Asiago Plateau and the Pasubio require winter tyres or snow chains on board, and snow falls there every winter. Check the motorhome's equipment at pick-up and ask whether the rental company allows these routes. On the plain, it is mainly the morning fog that calls for caution.
When should I book a motorhome in Vicenza?
With a single partner depot, the most popular categories go quickly for July and August, as well as for the Italian long weekends of 25 April, 1 May and 2 June. Book several months ahead for these dates. From October to March, a few weeks are generally enough, except over the end-of-year holidays and the snow holidays on the Asiago Plateau.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip in Vicenza
Vicenza brings together very different landscapes less than two hours' drive away: Palladio's villas and palaces, the Berici and Euganean Hills, the First World War trenches and memorials on the Pasubio and the Asiago Plateau, then, to the south-east, the lagoons of the Po Delta and the canals of Chioggia. Quieter than Venice or Verona, the city can be explored without jostling, and stages remain short.
McRent offers motorhomes sleeping three to six, departing from Alonte. Verona, Venice and Sommacampagna, other departure cities of our partners, are no more than 60 km away as the crow flies, which makes one-way trips easy. April, June and July offer the most pleasant climate; autumn, wetter, stays mild for the grape harvest in the hills, and winter is for the city's museums and cross-country skiing on the plateau.
