Here are some tips for those looking for affordable car rental in Rome:
- It's better to opt for full insurance "kasco" for 10-20 EUR per day (in Rome, it's very easy to scratch a car).
- You can find cheap car rentals in Rome upon arrival, either at Leonardo da Vinci Airport or at the Termini railway station.
- Do not exceed 50 km/h within the city (the fine for speeding ranges from 30 to 400 EUR).
- Free parking spaces are marked in white, spaces for taxis and privileged individuals are marked in yellow, and paid parking areas are marked in blue. Black and yellow stripes indicate no parking, and the sign "Zona Tutelato" prohibits parking on weekdays from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm.
- It is advisable to have an international driver's license (if you're involved in an accident, the police may accuse you of driving without a valid license).
- When returning the car, don't forget to refill the fuel tank; otherwise, you may lose your deposit.
