How do I find the best deals on a Rome Budget car rental?

Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my vehicle in Rome?

Be sure to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's Rome's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Rome is 21. Take time to check Budget's policies, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category vehicles in particular.

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Rome?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Rome. Compact or economy automobiles are ideal for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a sedan or SUV will have more room for everyone's luggage and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little luxury on their getaway can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does Italy require car insurance?

In Italy you do need to have insurance before you rent. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I have to return my Budget rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You pick up your Budget rental with full tank, and you should bring it back it with a full tank of gas. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back to Budget. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Rome definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Budget offer one-way rentals in Rome?

Budget typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it easier to drop off your rental car at a different location. Be aware there is typically an additional charge when you choose one-way.
