Milan, located in the northern part of Italy, has a rich history dating back to the 8th century B.C. It is considered to be the fashion and economic capital of Italy and features parks and gardens that once served as private land for the city’s nobles. The Giardino della Guastalla, designed in 1555, is the city’s oldest garden and contains a shrine, fruit trees and a fish pond. As you would expect, Milan offers museums and theaters of the performing arts, many of which are located in majestic historic homes. A number of outstanding skiing resorts are a short drive away. So use your car rental to go skiing, take plenty of pictures and share them with the Auto France community.
Milan is currently in a particularly vibrant era. In February 2026, it co-hosted the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, which brought massive infrastructure updates and international energy to the city.
Auto France has been providing a unique long term car rental solution in Milan since 1991 in partnership with French auto manufacturer Peugeot. The Peugeot package by AutoFrance is a unique take on renting a car in Milan in that we provide a brand new (never driven) vehicle for every customer. We don't mean "Like new", it is quite literally from the factory floor. The vehicles are delivered to Milan airport in advance of your arrival therefore the paperwork and arrangements must be done well before showing up to grab the keys. The result is nothing short of awesome when you arrive to MXP airport and are greeted with that new car smell after simply showing your passport and signing off.
The entire process of picking up your car rental at Milan airport is actually faster and easier than a regular car rental and you won’t be badgered at the counter by a sales rep trying to squeeze insurance coverage out of you. Have a peak at our Milan Malpensa Airport PDF in advance, it outlines the procedures for picking up and returning vehicles to Milan MXP airport along with contact information and operating hours for the local agent.
The average duration for a long term car rental in Milan is 53 days however the contracts can range from 15-355 days in length, your choice. One thing remains constant, each contract comes with a zero deductible full insurance policy built into the price up front which allows you and your loved ones to drive fully protected not only in Italy, but throughout Europe. Lastly, the program is designed specifically for U.S residents traveling to Europe so the additional perk to your pocket is that the whole system is designed to be Tax-Free as you are not subject to VAT tax based on the contracts technical designation as being a "temporary lease" AKA French Buy Back Lease or TT Lease.
