Bike rentals in Verona

Renting a bicycle in Verona, Italy

If you want to rent a bicycle for the whole day (€15–€20), try a private agency:

• Extreme Bike, Via XX Settembre 29c (tel. +39-045-892-1822, Rentbikeverona.com)
• Osteria a la Carega, Via Cadrega 8 (tel. +39-045-806-9248, Caregabikeverona.com)

However, if you merely want to be able to pedal from sight to sight in town, definitely sign up for the far cheaper city Verona bike sharing program (www.bikeverona.it), whcih will cost you are little as €2 per day or €5 per week.

This is intended as a form of public transit, so they really only want you use the bikes for short hops from place to place, and the pricing is set up accordingly.

For one-day use ("giornaliero") you pay just €2. That's it. You can use as many bikes as you want over the course of the day—but really only for half an hour at a time. If you keep a bike longer than 30 minutes, you get charged additional amounts:

• 2nd half-hour: €0.50
• 3rd half-hour: €0.75
• 4th half-hour: €0.75
• Each hour (or fraction thereof) beyond two hours: €2
• [Three stikes and you're out; If you abuse the system and keep a bike longer than 2 hours three times, you are banned. Keep the bike for 24 hours, and they charge you €150.]

(If you are in town for more than two days, get a weekly pass instead; it costs €5, with the same overage fees and rules as above.)

Using a Visa or Mastercard, you can sign up either:

• In person at the Front Office Verona Bike (at the main tourist office, Via degli Alpini 9, just off the SW corner of Piazza Bra; open Mon–Sat 9am–1pm and 2–6pm, Sun 10am–4pm).
• Online at bikeverona.it. They'll send you a code and password via e-mail; you have up to 30 days to use it. You're rental period starts the moment you use the code at to retrieve a bike from any station.

Cruiser bikes are available at some 20 stations around town, including the following city-center spots useful for visitors:

• Stazione Porta Nuova (train station)
• Piazza della Erbe
• Piazza Bra (near the Arena)
• Corso Cavour (near Castelvecchio)
• Via Cappello at the Biblioteca Civica (near "Juliet's house")
• Via dello Zappatore (near "Juliet's tomb")
• Santo Stefano (near the Teatro Romano)
