Car Hire in Rome

In Rome, Enterprise offers a wide range of modern vehicles to suit all customers’ needs, whether they're travelling for leisure or on business. When it comes to the wide choice of vehicles for hire that Enterprise offers, a family visiting the inner city may prefer a small car for easy parking and top fuel-efficiency. Alternatively, for larger groups, Enterprise offers a range of high-quality saloon cars, as well as people carriers that can comfortably seat up to 9 passengers.

Enterprise serves international travellers looking for a car rental in Rome from both of the city’s airports, including Ciampino Airport and Fiumicino Airport, also known as Leonardo Da Vinci Airport. At both of these arrival points, Enterprise's car hire offices are easy to find and the friendly staff are always delighted to help. Rome Fiumicino is Europe’s eighth busiest airport and boasts two runways. It's a very busy travel hub, and it's especially popular with Alitalia and Vueling airlines, as well as several low-cost operators.

Whether visitors choose to visit the ancient Coliseum and imagine gladiators jousting, or go to see fascinating Roman remains around the city, there is so much to do. Why not see the Trevi Fountain, Palazzo Valentini, or the 'Spanish Steps', known as Piazza di Spagna? Vatican City, Saint Peter’s Square, and the Sistine Chapel are just some of Rome’s many popular sights. The city is replete with monuments, fountains, and museums. For the hungry, local restaurant menus include delicious local fried artichokes and Pecorino cheese. Alternatively, diners’ taste buds are sure to be delighted with a freshly baked pizza, with views of the River Tiber's gurgling fountains and ornate bridges.

Just outside central Rome, the Europa district became famous owed to the Olympic games, which were held during the 1940s as well in 1960. The neighbourhood boasts modern architecture and features a Sports Palace that's shaped like a UFO. The establishment is also a leading conference and exhibition venue. There is even a modern planetarium, a medieval museum, and the Roman Museum of Culture, which includes scale models and replica casts of ancient statues. In contrast, St Peter and St Paul's Basilica, as well as the Square Colosseum, all have designs that are highly evocative of the genuine article. These attractions are a short drive away in Vatican City, a stone’s throw from the historic centre of Rome.

Care and precaution are advisable when navigating Rome's roundabouts. Parking spaces can be difficult to find in the centre of Rome, and they're often carefully controlled by traffic wardens. Most hotels offer secure car parking facilities. Additionally, there are various paid-parking facilities located throughout the city. Notably, drivers might wish to plan their journeys earlier or later to avoid peak traffic times, especially during typical rush hour times.
