A Small or mid-sized car with good maneuverability and decent fuel economy would be recommended for a Rome car rental. The roads and terrain in the area are mostly flat and not too congested, so a car with good acceleration would be beneficial for merging onto highways and navigating intersections. Additionally, a car with a good suspension system would be useful for navigating the potholes that are present in many urban areas.

It is important for drivers to pay attention to speed limit signs and adjust their speed accordingly to ensure the safety of pedestrians and fellow drivers on the road.

The best places to park cheap car rentals in Rome depend on the context and what you’re planning to do. If you’re visiting the city center, plan to pay for parking, as many parking spaces are metered or require payment at nearby kiosks. The cost for on-street parking is typically an hourly rate, with a two-hour maximum time limit. Paid lots and garages may charge a flat fee, depending on the location and time of day. Some areas outside of the downtown core offer free public parking, including Heritage Park, Jackson Hill, and several public lots located on First Avenue.
