Driving in Rome: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need

Bring your licence, passport and credit card.

To rent a car in Rome, you’ll need a valid driving licence, passport and credit card. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended in Rome if your licence is from outside the EU or not written in English.

Navigating city driving

Busy streets, scooters and ZTL zones.

Driving in Rome means navigating one-way systems, mopeds, and busy roundabouts. Use a sat nav to avoid ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones) and watch for restricted access near landmarks and piazzas.

Tolls, emissions zones and charges

ZTL zones apply — tolls start outside the city.

There are no toll roads in Rome itself, but many routes beyond the city are tolled. ZTL zones in the centre use camera enforcement — fines apply if entered without permission.

Parking your car in Rome

Street parking is paid and fills up fast.

Parking in Rome is mostly metered, with blue zones requiring payment. Spaces are scarce near central landmarks, so use hotel garages or public car parks outside the ZTL area.

Finding fuel or charging points

Fuel is easy to find — EV charging is expanding.

Petrol stations are common in Rome but less so near tourist zones. EV charging stations in Rome are increasing — use Enel X or PlugShare to check for chargers near your accommodation.

Local driving style and tips

Expect fast-moving traffic and plenty of scooters.

Drivers in Rome are confident and quick to react. Stick to marked lanes, watch for mopeds at junctions, and avoid ZTL zones unless your hotel has arranged access.
