Car Hire in Regola, Rome, Italy

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

If you’re sharing driving responsibilities, check the regulations regarding additional drivers. Some agencies may charge extra fees, while others might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.

Opt for car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these usually reflect better service, newer vehicles, and more convenient pickup locations. At Regola, we have deals from suppliers. Among them, Italy Car Rent boasts a rating of 4.9, Felirent has a rating of 4.7, and Maggiore holds a rating of 4.7.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Rome, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the vehicle with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' requires it to be returned at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is generally more economical.
