Car Hire Rome Fiumicino Airport

With so many sights and places to visit, an Avis hire car from Rome Fiumicino Airport will help you see it all – at your own pace. On a trip to Rome, uncover thousands of years of history by visiting some of the world’s most important historical and cultural landmarks.

The most famous sights include the Colosseum and Forum. Attracting millions of tourists each year, see first-hand where Gladiators fought to the death and Emperors lived and ruled. Don’t forget to pay a visit to the Trevi Fountain to throw in a coin, and walk down the Scalina Spagna (Spanish Steps). From here you might be tempted to browse the nearby fashion boutiques or treat yourself to an ice cream at one of the many gelato shops.

Across the river, visit the world’s smallest city-state, the Vatican, stroll through the vast St. Peter’s Square and gaze up at one of the city’s greatest treasures, Michelangelo’s frescoes on the city of the Sistine Chapel.

A short distance from Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain is Hadrian’s breathtaking Pantheon. One of the best-preserved monuments from ancient Rome, its striking architecture and dramatic dome make it an extraordinary sight.

Italy is full of wonders. Embark on an epic Italian road trip with an Avis hire car from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Just over an hour’s drive east of Rome, discover the lesser-explored region of Abruzzo where you can meander across mountain passes and vast swathes of unspoilt countryside.

Four hours south of Rome brings you to the vibrant city of Naples. One of the oldest cities in Europe, Naples is the birthplace of the pizza and home to the islands of Capri and Ischia. Just half an hour south lies the still active volcano, Vesuvius, and the ruined city of Pompei where the remains of this destroyed Ancient Roman city are miraculously preserved. An hour further south brings you to one of Italy’s most spectacular coastlines, the Amalfi Coast, with its beautiful beaches, cliffside villages and dazzling views.

3 hours north of Rome along the A1/E35 towards Florence lie the scenic treasures of Tuscany. The SR222 Chiantigiana road is one of Tuscany’s most famous drives, dotted with tall cypress trees, ancient castles and picturesque stone villages such as Greve in Chianti, Radda in Chianti and Montefioralle.
