Noleggio 500 Taranto is "Your timeless experience", discover the authentic sensations that only a vintage car like the Fiat 500 is able to offer, start by lifting a simple lever, listen to the roar of the engine, experience the emotions of the Slow Drive, discovering the typical sounds and scents of the lands visited... with the wind in your hair, feeling the vibrations of the road in your hands and the thrill of tackling and overcoming a tight curve.

But at the same time, respecting time... without suffering it, leaving the tools that measure it at home, fully grasping the beauty of every moment, forgetting the frenzy of the city and facing the unexpected with a smile.

Experience the encounter with a slow vehicle as an opportunity to better enjoy the pleasure of what surrounds you without being satisfied with what you can see from the main road, but by discovering every hidden beauty, preferring the less traveled destinations of ours Jonica Tarantina coast where sea, history and Italian myth meet to admire the warm colors of the beautiful sunsets that reflect on the sea and why not, in the company of a picnic basket that smells of good things, a red checked tablecloth to spread on the grass while enjoying a good glass of wine.
