Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Rome car reservation?
We know that flexibility is important. That's why most bookings give a full refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours in advance of the collection time. It's a good idea to scan the rental agreement though because there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Rome?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or level up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rome?
Rome rules state drivers must be 21 and over to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Rome?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ from rental company to rental company, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find a Rome car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Rome often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to avoid extra charges on pickup.
