Plan your camper trip from Rome – find your ideal camper in minutes

Road Genius compares campervan and motorhome rentals from multiple Italian suppliers so you can quickly see prices, depot locations and vehicle layouts in one place. Rome's two main airports are Fiumicino (FCO) and Ciampino (CIA); both are located outside the city's Limited Traffic Zone, making vehicle pick-up easier. The historic center is mostly closed to non-resident vehicles, so plan to stay on the ring road and use public transport to reach the tourist attractions.

Driving Notes

  • ZTL (Zona Traffico Limitato) cameras guard most central streets; fines arrive by mail, so park outside and take the metro.
  • The GRA (A90) ring road circles the city and connects to all motorways; expect traffic jams during rush hour.
  • Urban speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph); motorway limit is 130 km/h (81 mph) unless rain lowers it to 110 km/h.
  • Motorway tolls use tickets or the electronic Telepass lane; foreign vehicles can pay cash or card at the blue "Carte" booths.
  • Fuel is mostly diesel, labeled Gasolio; self-service pumps cost less than the staffed "Servito" option.
  • LPG (called GPL) is available if your campervan uses it for cooking or driving.
  • Many parking garages have height limits of 2.1 m (6 ft 11 in); check your vehicle height before entering.
  • Winter tires or chains are required on regional roads between 15 Nov and 15 Apr; police may check vehicles in the hills east of Rome.
