10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Rome

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to park in bustling areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in this instance.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applied for collecting your rental car at airports, although the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you evade unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your journey. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Rome with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the details before booking!
