Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Rome car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a full refund if you advise us more than six hours before the collection time. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations result in a refund though, so you may want to scan the rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Rome?
Premium, full-size, intermediate ... It's up to you! However, compact models are the top pick in Rome. If you're searching for something inexpensive and small, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is a smart choice. Driving around traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier than economy rides and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Rome?
There's loads to do in Rome, but venture further afield and you'll find even more magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these awesome destinations to your travel schedule:
  • You'll find Iowa State Fairgrounds and many more amazing sights in Des Moines. From Rome, it's roughly 177 kilometres away.
  • Next stop? Make it Peoria, which is around 177 kilometres away. Peoria Civic Centre is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.
  • Venture into the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Missouri Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. You'll find it approximately 290 kilometres from Rome.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Rome with Expedia?
Score an awesome deal with Expedia. Simply choose your ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the popular rental suppliers. Save even more when you combine your Rome car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rome?
Rental vehicle rules in Rome require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Many rental companies impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Rome?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rome?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and reserve a ride to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Rome car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find a Rome outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
