Rome is a pleasant city to rent a car, whether it be for business or pleasure! Why not make a trip to Tivoli (30 miles) to visit the splendid UNESCO World Heritage site, the Villa d'Este (East Villa)?
Renting a car in Rome could be an alternative solution to be able to visit the town freely, without the hassle of public transport or taxis, which can end up being a costly solution. Indeed, even if adopting Roman driving habits is sometimes difficult (as in all capital cities); you can, due to renting a car, visit inaccessible locations via another method than taxis. However, it is important to note that certain areas of Rome are pedestrian areas: these are restricted access zones, where access is for residents only.
A cultural haven by default, Rome makes your heart skip a beat. The town is an open-air museum where the architecture leans on ancient relics - baroque churches and little medieval alleyways. The ideal is without a doubt, to stroll around town on foot and to make the most of the car parks available, (all under surveillance). Then take the wheel and let captivating Rome carry you: the culinary delicacies, the Romans' mediterranean temperament, quaint neighbourhoods, with a soft spot for the villa Borghese, the Trevi fountain, the Vatican and the various charming city squares referred to as 'piazzas'.
If you are used to big cities you won't have a problem getting used to driving around Rome: car rental will seem like the most care-free solution. Like in France, there is a charge for using the motorways in Italy. They drive and give priority to the right. The speed limit is 30miles/h in built-up areas, 56miles/h on the road and 60 to 80miles/h on motorways.
