About Renting a Car at Rome Via Aurelia

The Via Aurelia corridor in western Rome runs along the ancient Roman road toward Tuscany, with 7 car rental providers serving this busy transit area approximately 5 km west of Vatican City. The location near the GRA ring road and the A12 motorway toward Civitavecchia makes it a strategic choice for trips north along the Tyrrhenian coast. The area is approximately 8 km from Rome's center.

The Via Aurelia district borders Monteverde Vecchio, one of Rome's most picturesque residential neighborhoods with beautiful villas and Parco Nicola Calipari. Villa Pamphilj, Rome's second-largest park (184 hectares), lies 2 km to the north and is perfect for a morning walk. Along Via Aurelia north you'll reach Cerveteri with its Etruscan necropolises (UNESCO) approximately 40 km away.

Via Aurelia (SS1) is a scenic alternative to the motorway for exploring the Lazio coast – Ladispoli and Santa Marinella lie 45–55 km to the north. The A12 motorway (entry approximately 3 km west) provides faster access to Civitavecchia ferry port (75 km) for ferries to Sardinia. Book a car with large luggage capacity if you're planning an extended Tuscany trip north.

How long does it take to drive from Via Aurelia to Civitavecchia? Civitavecchia is approximately 75 km north and takes about 50–60 minutes via the A12 motorway, or 1.5 hours along the scenic Via Aurelia (SS1). Is the Via Aurelia area suitable as a starting point for a Tuscany trip?

Absolutely. Via Aurelia leads directly toward Grosseto (180 km, 2 hours) and on to Siena and Florence. It's an excellent alternative to starting from central Rome.

What Etruscan attractions can I reach from Via Aurelia by rental car? Cerveteri (40 km, 40 minutes) and Tarquinia (90 km, 1 hour) are both UNESCO-listed Etruscan necropolises along Via Aurelia to the north – perfect for a historical day trip.

We compare prices from all major providers at Rome Via Aurelia so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.

What to Know Before Renting in Rome

🚗 1) Pick the Right Terms

  • Fuel: "Full-to-full" is usually the fairest deal.
