Fiumicino City Car Hire

Fiumicino is primarily known as the home of Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport, but the town itself has an active port and beautiful coastline along the Tyrrhenian Sea. With 2 rental providers in the center, the selection is limited but sufficient for shorter stays. Rome center is 30 km to the east (about 35 min via A91) and Civitavecchia is 60 km to the north (about 45 min).

Fiumicino's port is one of Lazio's most important fishing harbors and offers fresh seafood along Lungotevere. Just north of the town is the Macchiagrande nature reserve with sand dunes and pine forests along the coast. Book a rental car directly at the airport if you're arriving in Rome – the selection is much larger there (see our airport page).

Avoid driving into Rome during morning rush hour (7–9 am) – Via del Mare and A91 are heavily congested. Park free at the port area and walk along the quay. Is it better to rent a car at Fiumicino center or at the airport?

The airport has more rental providers and better prices. Choose the center if you specifically stay in Fiumicino town. How far is it to Rome center from Fiumicino?

About 30 km to the east via A91, which takes about 35 minutes without traffic – allow longer during rush hour. Can you drive along the coast north from Fiumicino? Yes, SS1 Via Aurelia heading north provides a nice coastal road toward Ladispoli and Civitavecchia, about 60 km and 45 minutes away.
