Grab your luggage, exit arrivals at Rome Airport (CIA-Ciampino), and pick up your rental car. Which one you jump into depends on where you plan to go. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Rome, around 9 miles from the terminal, consider something small and zippy. A compact car with nimble handling will be ideal for navigating those winding city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the gorgeous cliffs of the region, you’ll probably be clocking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a pleasure.
