Car rental at Rome Fiumicino Airport

Italy’s largest airport and a common hire car pick-up location, Rome Fiumicino Airport served over 38 million passengers in 2014. Hiring a car gives visitors the option to discover Rome and the nearby coast at their leisure, without having to rely on public transport.

The airport is situated around 30km (19 miles) from the historic city centre. All year round, people flock from the UK, mainland Europe and beyond to see this captivating area of Italy. To cope with the influx of visitors, the airport has become a hotspot for both big-name and local car hire companies who are all competing for business.

We help you compare deals from a number of car hire companies (including major companies like Avis, Europcar and Hertz, as well as local firms like Locauto, Maggiore, and Sicily by Car), so you can quickly find your ideal hire car.

To give you even better value for money, some of the cars come with extras included in the price: such as a GPS, an additional driver or the Collision Damage Waiver with zero excess.

For a lot of people, hiring a car can be confusing. We aim to make renting a car at Rome Fiumicino Airport as straightforward as possible, by providing as much information as we can upfront — meaning no unpleasant surprises when you get to the counter.

In Italy, most car hire companies offer one of two fuel policies: full-to-full and pre-purchase. If you’re happy to drop off the car with a full tank, we recommend a full-to-full policy (since you only pay for what you use at normal fuel station prices). A pre-purchase policy means you pay the car hire company for the fuel before you drive away — however, most companies in Italy will refund money for unused fuel.

Whether you want something nifty to get you from the airport to the city, or a spacious vehicle for longer drives with your family, there is a car to suit you. The mini, economy and compact cars are ideal for single travellers or couples without much luggage, while the intermediate, estate and standard cars are perfect for small families.

If you want to drive in style, consider booking a luxury car (like the BMW 5-Series or similar) or a sporty convertible. You will also find a choice of people carriers if you require plenty of room.

Finding the right car for you couldn’t be easier — simply use the filters when you search to narrow down the results based on your preferences. What’s more, we explain everything included in the price before you commit to anything.
