Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is Italy's largest airport. A car is impractical in the city itself, but for exploring Lazio, Tuscany or the coast you hit the motorway straight from here — without crossing central Rome first.

The rental desks at Fiumicino are in a separate rental building reached from arrivals via a walkway or free shuttle. Bring licence, passport or ID, voucher and a credit card in the main driver's name. The exact point is in your confirmation.
Rome's historic centre is about 30 km away — better not to park there; use a P+R by the metro. Finer driving: the Etruscan towns and Lake Bracciano (approx. 40 km), Orvieto (approx. 120 km) and southern Tuscany (approx. 150 km). Naples and Pompeii are about 230 km via the A1 (tolled).
Watch out for ZTL zones (restricted traffic areas) in Italian historic centres: driving in unintentionally means an almost certain fine on your rental car. Park outside the zone or ask your hotel for an exemption. The autostrade use toll gates (take a ticket, pay at exit); credit cards work everywhere.
A ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) is a camera-enforced restricted traffic zone in Italian old towns. Entering without an exemption triggers an automatic fine. Park outside the centre or ask your hotel to register your plate.
No, the metro and taxis are far more practical in town. Collect the car at Fiumicino when you leave the city, or rent from your departure day towards Tuscany or Naples — we arrange it exactly as you want.
Take a ticket when entering the autostrada and pay by credit card or cash at the exit. Avoid the yellow Telepass lanes; those are for subscribers.
