Picking up your rental car at Pisa Airport
About Pisa Airport (PSA)
Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport (IATA: PSA) is located approximately 2 km south of Pisa city centre, making it one of the most centrally positioned airports in Italy relative to its city. It is the primary air gateway to Tuscany, handling a large volume of low-cost and charter routes from across Europe. The terminal is a single building and straightforward to navigate on arrival. Car rental desks are in the arrivals area with the vehicle collection zone directly outside. The airport connects quickly to the motorway network, with the A11 and A12 accessible within minutes.
Getting on the road from Pisa Airport
The airport connects to the SGC Fi-Pi-Li expressway, which runs east toward Florence in about 60 to 75 minutes. Heading north on the A12, La Spezia and the Cinque Terre are approximately 80 km away, around an hour. Lucca is just 20 km northeast on the SS12. Siena is approximately 130 km southeast, around 90 minutes via the expressway. The Maremma coast around Grosseto is about 140 km south on the A12 and SS1. San Gimignano and Volterra are each around 80 km east through central Tuscany.
Why pick up at the airport rather than in the city
Pisa Airport connects directly to the main motorway network in all directions, making it one of the most convenient starting points in Tuscany for road trips. Like Florence, Pisa city centre has ZTL restrictions, so collecting the car at the airport and driving directly to your first destination avoids any risk of fines. For visitors focused on southern or coastal Tuscany, the airport is also a faster starting point than arriving into Florence.
