Driving from Fiumicino Airport to central Rome
Leaving the airport, take the Rome–Fiumicino motorway (A91). It is toll-free and takes you about 30 km towards the EUR district and the city centre: around 40 minutes in normal traffic, longer at rush hour. From the Grande Raccordo Anulare ring road you can join all the main motorways: the A1 to Florence and Naples, the A24 to Abruzzo and the A12 to Civitavecchia.
Rome’s ZTL zones: the times to know
Central Rome has several limited traffic zones (ZTL) monitored by cameras. Hire cars are not authorised, and fines are sent to the rental company and then charged to you, often months later.
- Historic Centre: Monday–Friday 6:30–18:00, Saturday 14:00–18:00.
- Tridente (around the Spanish Steps): Monday–Friday 6:30–19:00, Saturday 10:00–19:00.
- Trastevere: Monday–Saturday 6:30–10:00.
- Night ZTLs: Trastevere and San Lorenzo Wednesday–Saturday 21:30–3:00, Historic Centre and Testaccio Friday and Saturday 23:00–3:00 (suspended in August).
Daytime ZTLs are not active on public holidays. The easiest option is to leave the car at a park-and-ride car park and take the metro into the centre. Times can change: check the Roma Mobilità website before you go.
Where to go from Rome by rental car
- Ostia and the Roman coast: about 20 minutes from the airport.
- Castelli Romani: Frascati, Castel Gandolfo and the lakes of Albano and Nemi in about 45 minutes.
- Lake Bracciano: about 45 minutes north.
- Tivoli: Villa d’Este and Hadrian’s Villa in about an hour.

Car rental in Rome: frequently asked questions
How far is Fiumicino Airport from central Rome?
About 30 km. By car, on the toll-free Rome–Fiumicino motorway (A91), you reach the centre in around 40 minutes in normal traffic; allow more time at rush hour.
Where is the Dryyve office in Rome?
Our office is close to Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO), at Via dell’Aeroporto di Fiumicino 164, 00054 Fiumicino (RM). A free shuttle takes you there from the terminals in about 3–5 minutes: once you have collected your luggage, contact our office and go to the “Shuttle” meeting point outside on the departures level, between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.
Is the motorway from Fiumicino to Rome toll-free?
Yes, the Rome–Fiumicino motorway (A91) is free. Toll motorways such as the A1, A12 and A24 are paid: take a ticket when you join and pay when you leave, by card or cash.
Can I drive a rental car into Rome’s ZTL?
Not while it is active. The Historic Centre ZTL runs Monday to Friday 6:30–18:00 and Saturday 14:00–18:00, and there are night ZTLs in Trastevere, San Lorenzo, Testaccio and the centre. Always check the updated times on the Roma Mobilità website before you go.
Is it worth renting a car in Rome?
For the historic centre, walking and public transport are easier. A rental car is worth it to leave Fiumicino and drive straight to your destination, for day trips out of the city (the coast, Castelli Romani, Tivoli) and if you are travelling with family or lots of luggage.
What documents do I need to pick up the car?
When picking up the vehicle, the original and valid driver’s license must be presented along with a valid identity card or passport. The driver’s license must be valid for the duration of the rental period and for at least six weeks thereafter. Copies, digital or temporary driving licences are not accepted. All drivers, regardless of age, must have held a valid driving licence for at least one year prior to the start of the rental period. The one-year requirement refers to the date when the driver first obtained the relevant driving licence category, not the issue date of a renewed or replacement document. For non-Latin driver’s licenses, an international driving permit or an official translation is required along with the original license. Non-EU driver’s licenses may be subject to further verification.
How can I pay?
A security deposit is required upon vehicle collection to cover any potential claims arising from the rental agreement. We accept Visa and Mastercard credit cards for payment and the security deposit. Some debit cards may be accepted under certain conditions, such as when purchasing a protection package. We do not accept cash payment. We do not accept prepaid cards for the security deposit. Payment cards must be valid for at least six months from the date of collection.
How long is the grace period?
The vehicle will be held for 30 minutes after the agreed pick-up time. After this period, the booking may be considered a no-show or missed pick-up, in accordance with the rental terms and conditions.
No additional charges apply for returns delayed by up to 30 minutes. If the vehicle is returned more than 30 minutes late, additional rental and operating costs may apply.
What is the fuel policy?
We operate on a “same fuel level” policy. Please return the car with the same fuel level as when you picked it up. If the fuel level is lower, refueling and service charges may apply.
What should I do if the car breaks down?
If the car breaks down, call roadside assistance using the phone number displayed in the car.

Speed limits in Italy and other regulations
In Italy, speed limits vary depending on the type of road: 50 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h on secondary extra-urban roads, 110 km/h on main roads and 130 km/h on motorways, reduced to 110 km/h in case of rain.
For tourists, it is important to pay attention to the numerous speed cameras and the Tutor system on motorways, which monitor average speed. Furthermore, in the historic centres of many cities there are Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL), where access is permitted only at certain times or for authorised vehicles, with automatic fines for those who do not respect the rules.
Alcohol and driving in Rome and Italy
In Italy, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/L, while for new drivers and professional drivers it is zero. In Rome, checks are frequent, especially on weekends and in nightlife areas, with breathalyzers and roadblocks. Exceeding the limit can lead to heavy fines, license suspension, points deduction and, in the most serious cases, a criminal offense with possible arrest. Furthermore, if the blood alcohol level exceeds 1.5 g/L, the vehicle can be confiscated. For everyone’s safety, it is always better to avoid driving after drinking.
