no close English cognate — from French 'noliser'

⚠️ The trap

English speakers often don't recognise 'noleggio' at all. At airports, look for 'Autonoleggio' or 'Noleggio Auto' signs — that's where you pick up rental cars, not a 'Car Hire' sign (though larger airports use both).

To say "no close English cognate — from French 'noliser'" in Italian:

noleggio auto

"noleggio" in English means:

rental, hire (of a car, bike, boat)

Example

"Ho prenotato un noleggio auto all'aeroporto."

"I've booked a car hire at the airport."
