Why Hire a Car in Rome?

Drive Without Restrictions: Zero-Emission Electric Vehicles

Many of Rome’s most iconic landmarks are located within the historic centre, an area strictly regulated by Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL). To enjoy total peace of mind during your trip, choosing the right vehicle is essential. With DoYouItaly, you can easily filter for Electric vehicles. These zero-emission models are the ideal choice for navigating the city centre with ease. Once you've selected your car type, you can refine your search further using our filters to find exactly what you need, whether that’s an automatic transmission, a specific number of seats, or a convenient pick-up location.

Events and Landmark Highlights in Rome for 2026

2026 is a massive year for the capital as the grand Jubilee celebrations come to an end. Having a car is the best way to move between the Vatican and the local festivals happening across the city. The summer season is especially busy, and a top highlight is the famous Bresh tour at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, an incredible open-air venue, perfect for the warmer months.

If you’re visiting with kids, your own car is the best way to skip the city’s busy public transport. A hire car gives you the flexibility to visit the Bioparco Zoo or the Explora Museum at the little one’s pace. You’ll also have the freedom to easily head to the outskirts for a day at Cinecitta World, ensuring the whole family stays entertained!

If you're looking to tick off the iconic sights, here is where you should head to get the most out of your visit:

The Pantheon: This is an absolute must-see for its history and incredible design. Top Tip: If it happens to rain, head inside to watch the water fall through the giant hole in the roof.
Trevi Fountain: This is the most famous Baroque fountain in the world. It’s best to visit at sunrise to avoid the big crowds. Don’t forget to throw a coin in! The legend says one coin promises your return to Rome, two helps you find love, and three lead to marriage in Rome.
Trastevere: This is one of the most popular and vibrant neighbourhoods in the city. Drive over for an authentic Italian atmosphere and some amazing pasta.
The Colosseum: You can't visit Rome without seeing the world’s largest ancient amphitheatre. It’s a very important piece of history where people once gathered for gladiatorial games.
Castel Sant'Angelo: This fortress sits right by the Tiber River. Its architecture is beautiful and it offers some of the most breathtaking views across the city.

One-way car hire in Rome: pick up in one location, drop off in another

Need flexibility on your trip? With DoYouItaly, you can hire a car in Rome and return it to a different location. Simply select different pick-up and drop-off points when searching. All available one-way rental options will be shown, just keep in mind that a one-way fee may apply.

Travelling in a group? Discover 9-seater cars in Rome

Use the “9 seats” filter to view all available options and choose the deal that fits your budget.

Pick up your car at the airport or in the city, it’s up to you!

Airports are usually the most convenient, but city centre offices can offer better prices. Compare both and choose the one that suits you best.
