What types of cars can I rent in Rome?
Crowded city streets and tight parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most commonly booked home type in Rome. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic effortlessly.

Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rome?
Home vehicle rules in Rome require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Home suppliers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars available to young people too. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Rome?
Renting a car in Rome is a cinch. Normally, all you’ll need is your driver’s license and a credit card. After selecting a great set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to make sure there are no additional requirements before pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rome?
Yes, and you’ll find your perfect wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we’ll show you incredible offers from a range of leading suppliers.
Where can I find a Rome car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Rome holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge extra fees. It’s best to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Rome with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the details before you book!
