So we don't just offer car hire in categories ranging from economy to luxury, we also give you the opportunity to tailor a package from our optional extras which meets your personal needs. If you plan to travel long distances, you could add unlimited mileage, an additional driver or a car seat if you have little ones with you. Book a Sat Nav to make sure you never get lost in the streets of the city and the wider countryside. If you are under 25, there's an insurance package for you, too. For great flexibility, we also offer 24 hour return. A price comparison will highlight our affordable prices, and booking could not be simpler - book online, or use our Sixt App if you are a busy person who needs to book on the move.
Traffic Information
A radial network of roads surround the city of Rome, most of which follow the lines of the original roads which were built to connect the vast Roman empire. This makes connecting with the rest of the country straightforward, but also creates traffic problems in the city itself, slowing traffic down. Locals drive with a confidence that you might find challenging, and do look out for the weaving mopeds. During daylight hours, the inner city centre is a Limited Traffic Zone so you will need to use the ring road to navigate your way around. A similar scheme operates in other areas at night, so it's best to plan your journey in advance to avoid these zones. On-street and covered parking are available in the city and significant savings can be made with advance bookings.
Something for Everyone in Rome
With a wealth of history to explore, it can be hard to know where to start when you visit Rome. In addition to historic buildings, Rome has one of the largest green space areas of European cities, with parks and landscaped gardens across the city. Many piazzas have cool fountains to sit beside while you enjoy your gelato, and don't forget to drop a coin in the Trevi Fountain when you stop there. Shop to your heart's content in famous luxury fashion houses - Rome boasts boutiques for the world's major designers. Just 15 miles south of the city you will find Castel Romano Designer Outlet, offering more than 90 designer outlets at discounted prices. When in Rome, they say, do as the Romans do, and this is certainly true of the cuisine. Restaurants abound in all price ranges from budget to fine dining. Rome offers a vibrant nightlife scene, although it starts late - friends often don't dine until 9pm before going on to a bar or club.

One of the best experiences I have had with a car rental company. If you are in Rome near the Vatican, go here and ask for Yahikils. He was wonderful and quick and got us exactly what we wanted!
