Depending upon which city you'll stay before arriving at the quarry, you may not need to rent a car. The quarry is, however, in mountainous terrain, and I don't know about public transportation from surrounding areas. Search the Web for Carrara Marble Tour (one word). Italy's Web extension is IT. There is a link on TripAdvisor for "Carrara Marble Tour". Once there, click on the British flag for English translation. Complete information about tours is on that site. The Carrara Tour company can provide info about how to get to the welcome center, where the tour company greets tour members. Try to avoid a rainy day. Full sun is best. Enjoy!

Unfortunately I do not recall his name. We stopped at one of the roadside souvenir shops on the mountain to inquire about taking a tour, and he offered. He had recently retired after working there his entire adult life as an engineer. Perfect English and very friendly/informative.
We are interested in the details about getting to your Carrara Marble tour . How hard was it to find th road from Carrara? How long and difficult a drive was it getting up to the tour area? Some have implied it is difficult to drive yourself and perhaps better to get transportation there. Did you see anyplace in Carrera offering rides there?Did you have any trouble finding the tour area?
