Rent a BMW X7 40d M in Florence

The X7 40d M is the car to book when the trip involves more than one couple, a stack of luggage, or a villa outside the historic centre. Florence's centro storico runs on camera-enforced ZTL rules, and street parking near Via de' Tornabuoni or Piazza della Repubblica is scarce at best, so a seven-seat SUV of this size is never meant to enter the old town anyway — it belongs to the roads around it. Families basing near San Gimignano or Siena, or groups splitting between a Fiesole hillside rental and day trips to the coast, get the cabin space and the 352 hp to cover those distances without feeling stretched. Inside, the M-trimmed cabin keeps three rows usable rather than nominal, which matters on the FI-SI highway toward Siena or the flatter run out to Lucca and Pisa, where comfort over distance counts more than outright pace. It also works well for parties travelling to a Tuscan wedding or private event who need one vehicle rather than two smaller cars, with enough boot room behind the third row for garment bags and gifts. This 2024 model is offered as a single, fully specified variant, with rental starting at €380 per day. Handover can be arranged away from the ZTL — at Florence's Peretola airport, at Pisa arrivals, or at a Lungarno-area hotel — so the first drive out of the city is direct, without navigating restricted lanes or hunting for a garage near the Duomo.
