FAQs about car rental in Rome

TL;DR: Rome Car Rental FAQs – Age, Credit Card, Insurance & More

To rent a car in Rome, you generally must be at least 21 (some companies allow 18) and have a credit card in the primary driver’s name for the security deposit. Rental prices usually include full insurance (liability, theft, collision). U.S. drivers need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Be aware of restricted ZTL zones to avoid fines. Rental costs can be very high depending on the vehicle.

How old do I need to be to rent a car in Rome?

To rent a car in Rome, drivers must be 21 years old. Some rental companies allow drivers as young as 18 to rent a vehicle in Rome. Drivers under 25 should be prepared to pay a young driver's surcharge of $15-USD 25 daily. Please find more information on our rental car age requirements page.

Can I rent a car without a credit card in Rome?

No, to rent a car in Rome, a credit card is essential. Specifically, when you arrive at the rental desk to collect your vehicle, you must present a valid credit card in the name of the primary driver listed on your voucher, ensuring it has sufficient credit for the security deposit.

The requirement for a credit card at the time of pickup is to allow the rental company to place a hold on the security deposit. Without a credit card, the rental company may deny you the vehicle or ask for additional insurance payments. Note that credit cards from extra drivers or cash deposits are not accepted. While a few rental companies might allow a debit card, this is quite uncommon. The security deposit will be released from your card once you return the car in the same condition as when you received it.
