In Rome, the primary renter should be at least 21 years of age with a valid drivers license, that has been held for the minimum period of 12 months. It is recommended to have an International Driving Permit when visiting Rome. Renters below the age of 25 should be aware of possible higher rental fees due to the ‘young driver’ charges. With most of the car hire companies, not all of the vehicles are available to a younger driver.
Driving in Rome can be frustrating. The streets are small, confusing, and not well built for heavy traffic. Traffic jams are frequent. This is typical of Italy’s large historical cities. Seatbelts should always be worn, and keep a close eye on the courageous scooter-drivers!
Find out from your hotel in Rome if it has parking areas available if you are planning to rent a car. Sometimes the hotel parking is at adjacent private garages. These are known as ‘parcheggio convenzionato’. Some car parks are available in Rome, for example, the Via Gregorio VII. There is another area at the entrance to the Stazione San Pietro train station. In central Rome there are few parking options and it may be more convenient to use the ATAC public buses in this area. Rome’s popular attractions are mostly within walking distance of each other, and it’s far nicer to walk, than to struggle with finding a parking space.
