Driving Tips for Rome

You might have heard that Roman drivers honk their horns a lot, but our additional driving insights will make you feel confident on the road.

  • Speed Limits: Expect speed limits of 50 kph (31 mph) in residential areas, and up to 150 kph (93 mph) on interstates with tolls.
  • Headlights: Always switch on your headlight if it’s rainy or foggy.
  • Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL): Traffic is limited in parts of Rome during certain times of day. Look for signs marked “ZTL Attiva,” which means the ZTL is in operation.
  • The Raccordo: When traveling across the city, try to drive on “The Raccordo,” where speeds are up to 130 kph (93 mph).
  • Free Parking: Street parking spaces with white lines are free.
  • Honking: Whether you're used to it or not, honking is part of the driving culture in Rome. Focus on your driving and don't feel pressured.

Best places to visit in and around Rome

Reserving a SIXT car rental in Rome is the best way to experience areas outside the city and travel according to your schedule. These are a few places you can’t miss:

  • The Colosseum: Perhaps one of the most well-known monuments in the world, the Colosseum is a must-visit when you are in Rome. You can park your rental car in one of the nearby parking areas and visit the largest ancient amphitheater.
  • Saint Peter’s Basilica: Visit the seat of the Catholic Church and witness some of the most beautiful artwork, architecture, and stained glass in the world, along with relics from saints of the Catholic Church.
  • Ostia Antica: Located an hour from Rome, this former port town has plenty of parking and offers the chance to escape the crowds outside the Colosseum. Admire the temples and mosaics or enjoy an al fresco meal.

Whether you’re in town for business or pleasure, deciding to rent a car in Rome with SIXT makes your trip easy.

Laura the rental agent was friendly and helpful. Getting out of the garage and back to the Marriot was difficult. There was no mobile reception in the parking garage and I chose the wrong exit and got stuck in traffic going opposite direction of the hotel. Car was great and overall experience at pick up very good.
