Avoid the Budget offices on via Sardegna. There are several rental offices in the Termini train station ... if you rent from there you can also try some less expensive local options (ideal for cases where you'll pick up and drop off in the same place).

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Rome
Explore the beauty of the Italian landscape with a hire car and discover everything Rome and its surrounding areas have to offer. The coastline is about 40 minutes away by car and the scenic Riserva Naturale della Marcigliana, located north of city, is also definitely worth a visit at just about half an hour away by car.
Get a hire car directly at the International Fiumicino Airport Rome upon your arrival to reach the center of Rome in about half an hour. Located in the Office Tower 2, the airport’s car hire center houses companies like Avis, Europcar, Hertz, and Sixt. Rome’s other airport, Ciampino, also offers car hires and is 30 miles from the city center.
Rome operates ZTL – zona traffico limitato, which means limited traffic zones. The ZTL is in place to avoid congestion and pollution in major Italian cities during peak times. Be careful not to enter such a zone, as they are controlled with cameras and fines will be issued. Ask your hire car provider about details and familiarize yourself where you can go with your car (if you have a hotel in the center, you may be issued a pass to reach it). Also consider choosing a parking garage in the suburbs and use public transport to reach the city center.
Rome is a very old city and therefore the streets can be narrow and a challenge to navigate for someone who is used to broader streets. Vespas are common in the capital and known to whizz through alleys quickly, so drive attentively.

FAQs about renting a car in Rome
What type of car is recommended for driving in Rome?
As the streets in Rome are very narrow and parking lots are hard to find, opt for a smaller car like a Mini or a Fiat 500. If you want to explore the surrounding countryside and park your car outside the city, an SUV is a good choice, as Italian country roads can have potholes.
What’s the speed limit in Rome?
Speed limits, unless otherwise indicated, are 31 mph (50 kph) in residential areas, 68 mph (110 kph) on countryside highways and 80 mph (130 kph) on freeways. Always adhere to the speed limits as the Italian police are very strict with speed regulation and fines can be high. Speed cameras are also commonly used in Italy.
Where are the best places to park in Rome?
Unless your hotel has a parking space included, it is not wise to attempt finding a parking space in the city, as they are hard to find and are often reserved for locals. Choose a P+R outside the center and close to a metro station, such as the P+R Batistini, P+R Valle Aurelio, or the P+R Laurentina. With only around €2 ($2.25) per 12 hours, they are also a priceworthy option. Parking lots close to the Old Town are also a possibility, but, with a rate of up to €40 ($45) per day, are a rather expensive solution.

The biggest problem booking through Kayak was that even though my car reservation was “confirmed”, when I got to the Hertz desk they said that it is a third party app so they did not have that reservation and only had a more expensive car to offer me for those dates. Because we were on a tight schedule, we couldn’t shop around last minute and ultimately had to take the more expensive car. Bad experience booking through Kayak and ultimately blame Hertz for also allowing themselves to be listed on third party websites without this guarantee.

Staff at the office was very professional and friendly, unlike the staff at the garage/car pick up point. I had to wait with my 5 year old child at the parking lot for half an hour for the car keys to arrive. When the guy eventually arrived with car keys he was pretty rude to us for no reason. So, that spoiled the experience.

We had to wait more than 1 hour to pick up the car as they had a problem with their computer system. Eventually we had to walk to another location where they assigned us a car. It was a new Fiat 500 (hybrid) which was very nice. Overall the experience was fine except the issue when we picked up the car.
We had a terrible experience with Alamo and likely will not be giving our business to Alamo again. The pickup process and the staff in Rome was fantastic, but the drop off process in Florence was a nightmare! When we drove into Florence, we arrived at the address we were provided both by the Alamo staff in Rome and in our rental agreement. The office was in a terrible location and was not open despite arriving during listed business hours. Since the office was closed, we had to take the rental car to our hotel and pay to valet park it overnight. When we went to return the rental car at the listed opening time the next morning, we waited in a line at the provided address, only to get to the front and be immediately directed to a parking garage that was NOT listed on the rental return agreement without the staff doing anything to acknowledge and process the return. We were provided unclear instructions on where the return garage was that did not take into account current road closures. Due to needlessly waiting in line at the return location provided by Alamo in the rental agreement, the return process not being initiated in the system upon our arrival at the provided location, and the delay in finding the return garage, we arrived at the garage 15 minutes after our return time and charged for an entire extra day. Had we had clear instructions on where to return the vehicle, we would have had a much better experience.

The vehicle I originally ordered was not available. The agent at budget City Centre tried to tell me that I didn’t order the vehicle and reserved online, then proceeded to tell me that the vehicle doesn’t exist in Italy. The car was dented and wasn’t not recorded at the time of pickup. Thankfully, I did a full vehicle wall around before taking the vehicle from budget. When I dropped the car off at Budget Airport, the agents were better and I explained the situation with the pickup. They confirmed that the original vehicle I ordered is available in Italy and they had chosen to not have it onsite for pickup. They also asked about the dent, which I showed the video to prove it was there at pickup. They stated that the first agent at pickup never recorded it, but because of the proof I wouldn’t be charged. This was such a bad experience given that I ordered a Van to fit 8 people and they gave me an SUV that fit 7, with no room for luggage. Because of this experience, I will never use Budget again and will tell everyone I know to avoid it as well.

Good. The address for drop off in Rome by the train station was not correct and caused confusion. Imaging driving in one of the craziest places to drive in the world and not know where you are going. This is basic stuff and very, very simple to resolve by just keeping the database in order and if a change of addresses come about, notify your pending customers. It’s a simple computer program to maintain this process.

Everything was perfect, drop off was a little uncertain but extremely simple.
Careful there’s a 1-hour reservation hold time. If your flight is delayed by more than that, they’ll cancel your reservation and make you pay the full charge with insurance to retrieve your booking. IDP also required for foreign travellers not in the EU. Generally nice, but a lot of “nothing I can do it’s the ststem” from the staff. Shuttle comes really slow/late.

The pickup/dropoff part was a disaster. I waited at the FCO airport for “the shuttle” for over an hour, during which time I asked the airport info people where to find the shuttle and they couldn’t help, nor were we able to reach the rental office by phone. So I finally just decided to take a taxi to the office, which was an additional 40.00 euros that SurPrice refused to reimburse me for. Then I waited almost another hour in line at the office just to get my reserved car. The clerk barely spoke English and was rude. They did a terrible job of explaining the rental agreement and failed to give me any kind of print-out or email. Also, the vehicle was only 3/4 full, even though they told me “full to full”. I didn’t have time to go back into the office to argue with them, so I took pictures and left thinking maybe they would credit me when I returned the vehicle. I was wrong. When I dropped off the vehicle, it was basically the same experience which almost caused me to miss my return flight. In retrospect, I wish I would have just paid more for a car rental office located in the airport terminal.

Make sure you have an international drivers license with you, because Surprise will not rent a car to you if you don’t unless you pay for very expensive daily insurance through them. Even though they refused to rent the car, they still charged us the full rental price. The directions for getting the shuttle at the airport were very vague and so finding the shuttle took us over an hour of asking people where to get it (no one knew) and what the shuttle looked like. The whole ordeal was a nightmare

I found out from a taxi driver that the wrong address was listed on my car rental booking confirmation and there was no information about a shuttle/transportation to the location listed as the airport when it was actually somewhere else. I had to pay a taxi driver to bring me to a different address that a free shuttle should have. Beside that, the car worked great and wasn't very clean but otherwise highly functional. No mechanical issues and I was able to catch the shuttle back.
They gave me the wrong car and forced me to pay for an upgrade when I should've had a gas car from the beginning, not an electric car. They also had me sign the wrong rental contract designed for another person!
