Top tips for renting a car in Rome

  • Cheap car rentals in Rome is one of the best ways to be mobile and tour the city effectively. The rental car will help you gain the flexibility to visit the Colosseum about 1.55 mi away and the Arch of Constantine located 2.4 mi away. You will also be able to visit Tivoli – Villa d’Este located about 18 mi from the city. Although Rome is not known for its beaches, the rental car will allow you travel the 18 mi to Anzio to visit the Osta beach. A rental car will ensure you get to your destination on time and back without any inconvenience.
  • While driving your rental car in Rome, you need to know the speed limits in different areas. In urban areas, the speed limit is 31mph, while the secondary roads outside the city have a speed limit of 55mph. If you decide to use the main roads outside Rome, the speed limit should not surpass 68mph, while the highways have a speed limit of 80mph on weekdays and 68mph on weekends. If you have a destination or a site to see and decide to use the toll roads for a faster trip, ensure that you are driving within a speed limit of 90mph.
  • Pedestrians always have the right of way in Rome in areas where there is no pedestrian signal light. You should constantly be on the lookout for white pedestrian lines while driving on the road. You should also try as much as possible to avoid the Via Tiburtina which connects Tivoli and Rome. The road is known for accidents in the city. The other road to be weary of is the Via Cristoforo Columbo and the Via Casilina. The three roads account for the highest numbers of accidents in the capital year and are considered among the most dangerous roads in Rome.
  • Explore the beauty of the Italian landscape with a rental car and discover everything Rome and its surrounding areas have to offer. The coastline is about 40 minutes away by car and the scenic Riserva Naturale della Marcigliana, located north of city, is also definitely worth a visit at just about half an hour away by car.
  • Get a rental car directly at the International Fiumicino Airport Rome upon your arrival to reach the center of Rome in about half an hour. Located in the Office Tower 2, the airport’s car rental center houses companies like Avis, Europcar, Hertz, and Sixt. Rome’s other airport, Ciampino, also offers car rentals and is 30 miles from the city center.
  • Rome operates ZTL – zona traffico limitato, which means limited traffic zones. The ZTL is in place to avoid congestion and pollution in major Italian cities during peak times. Be careful not to enter such a zone, as they are controlled with cameras and fines will be issued. Ask your rental car provider about details and familiarize yourself where you can go with your car (if you have a hotel in the center, you may be issued a pass to reach it). Also consider choosing a parking garage in the suburbs and use public transport to reach the city center.
  • Rome is a very old city and therefore the streets can be narrow and a challenge to navigate for someone who is used to broader streets. Vespas are common in the capital and known to whizz through alleys quickly, so drive attentively.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Rome for C$ 53 or less

Pros:

Location in terminal.

Cons:

Horrific experience with Hertz in Rome Fiumicino. Rented a car that had a tire blown as soon as I started driving it. Called the Hertz location in Fiumicino and no answer. Called multiple times, but no answer. Had to call the US number only to get transferred to Road Side assistance for Canada? Ended up changing the tire myself then drove to my hotel. Kept calling Hertz in Rome (total of 8 times that day) but no answer. Tried calling Naples (no answer), Milano (no answer) and Salerno (answered but told me I wasn't covered because Hertz had franchised their business in Italy?). Suggested I pay for the flat myself and be on my way. In order to salvage my trip, I did just that. Only to find that the tire had prior damage in two places and it was unlikely that it could withstand another "patch" job. Nevertheless, I paid the fee for just that and tried to get ahold of Rome Hertz another 14 times over 4 days. No answer! The car sat parked because the newly patched tire went flat again! Seriously, I can't make this stuff up. Called the US again without help as they simply said I needed to deal directly with Rome Hertz only. I used Twitter to get a road side assistance number for Italy and the towed the car finally, while I had 5 days left on my rental. They refused to take me to Hertz to get a replacement saying I needed to pay a taxi for that (I was 60 miles away from the nearest location). I simply told them to keep the car and I would deal with it upon my return to Rome via another means. When I got to Rome, they had the nerve to charge me for a one way drop off charge in addition to my full contracted rate. NEVER AGAIN WILL I RENT FROM HERTZ/DOLLAR/THRIFY.

Pros:

Fantastic car. Comfortable and drove well. New too.

Cons:

Having to wait 2 hours in Rome to check-in with our reservation. A line ordering system that did not make any sense (draw a number for two other companies but not Dollar). Then, stand around because there was only standing room only. Really not efficient.
