Rent the Land Rover Defender 2024 in Venice

About this car

The 2024 Land Rover Defender pairs a commanding driving position with genuine seven-seat capacity, making it the practical choice on this fleet for groups who need space without stepping down in comfort. Its 400 hp output gives it enough presence for autostrada stretches toward Verona or Lake Garda, while the raised ride height and planted stance suit the mix of open road and mainland traffic around Venice without feeling out of place at a hotel entrance in Mestre. This is a vehicle built for real use rather than display, with cabin room that absorbs luggage, car seats or a full set of adults across three rows on a longer day trip.

Because Venice's historic centre is closed to cars, handover for the Defender takes place at Marco Polo Airport, a Mestre hotel or the Piazzale Roma garage — a detail worth confirming at booking so arrival plans line up cleanly. Day rate is €550 with a €5,000 security deposit, figures we state upfront so there's no renegotiation at the counter. It suits families heading to Garda's beaches and parks, groups splitting driving duty on a Cortina or Dolomites run, or anyone who simply prefers a wide, high seat and standard equipment over a stripped-down sports cabin for a multi-day stay on the mainland.
