What to do while in Venice
There are tons of things to see and do during your trip to Venice. You’ll want to check out many of the attractions on the main island, like Saint Mark’s Basilica, the Grand Canal and the Doge’s Palace. While there are no cars allowed on the island of Venice, you’ll most likely be staying on the mainland, so it will be convenient to use your car to park near the bridge and walk over. You’ll also want to check out Villa Foscari, which is just a short drive south of Venice.
Summer in Venice
Venice is beautiful in the summer. Both the island and the mainland are bursting with life and festivities during the summer months. You’ll definitely want to check out the islands of Murano and Burano to see the colors of the buildings gleam in the sun. It’s also a great time to go boating or hit the beach at the Lido. And at the end of a long, hot day exploring, indulge in some authentic Italian gelato.

We didn't have a credit card in our name (only debit) but the staff made adjustments so they accepted the debit card and charged the entire amount at pick-up. We reserved online a Citroen C1 but they didn't have one, so we got a BMW Series 1, which was a very nice upgrade. The car was clean, some scratches on the wheels, diesel/adblue, economical, powerful and a lot of tech (GPS and a fancy self-updating cruise control). Italian roads have a lot of weird speed limits and radars everywhere. We delivered the car after hours at their nearby parking-lot and they requested we leave the parking ticket inside the car to check the "check-in" time. They wrongly charged "late check-in" because they mistakenly got the "check-in" time the next day at 10AM, and we delivered within agreed time, 11PM the day before. We complained and they returned the money quickly even without "evidence" besides the ticket they had inside their car. I advise to take a picture of the ticket to serve as proof if anything goes wrong. It was a good experience.

Extremely thankful & impressed with Sixt at the Venezia Mestre Station. I must add that Alberto was very helpful with assisting my grandmother and I. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of, as well as, also reaching out to let us know we forgot a driver license. Because of him, I will use Sixt for all my future bookings. Well done Sixt! Great team in Venice and thank you for everything!
