Once you are at your arrival point, you only need to pick your car hire up and start the journey to Rome following the following instructions.

From the Airport: this is the most famous, transited and easiest way to access Rome from all over the world. In fact, the city of Rome has two main airports: Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino Airport. We will show you hereunder how much time it will take you with a rental car to get to Rome from the airports.

  - Distance: 16 to 27 kilometers depending on the route you choose to take.

From the Maritime Port: even though this is not a very popular option, there many cruises from all over Europe that end in the port of Civitavecchia. From this point, you can take either a train or a rental car, which can be picked up in the port of the city. The distance from here to Rome is about 80 kilometers, so it won’t take you more than 1 hour and 15 minutes.
By bus or train: it may sound a little bit crazy, but many people adore traveling by bus or by train, and they do not even care about how long the destination is or how many buses and trains they need to take to get to the place of destination. If that is your case, the Termini Railway Station in Rome is only 500 meters away from the center of the city. In fact, this station is connected to almost the whole country. So, if you get to Rome by bus or train, it won’t take a lot of time from the station to the center of Rome.

EXPLORING THE SURROUNDINGS OF ROME WITH PEPECAR – RENTAL CARS

For those who are going to spend more than 2 days in Rome, it is really worth paying a visit to the nearby cities with your rental car. All these cities are truly well connected either with train stations or with bus stations, though we recommend making your trips by car, as you will have total freedom to make the most of each and every second of your days in Italy.

CAPRI

Known as Island of Capri, it has one of the most beautiful landscapes all over the Naples Gulf. It is comprised of two main municipalities: Capri, which is the principal municipality and has two main ports; and Anacapri, which is located at the western part of the island. Once in the island, we recommend the ‘obligatory’ visit to places as impressive as the Blue Cave, the White Cave, the Solaro Mount, Villa Jovis, the Natural Arch, Augustan Gardens, the impressive Malaparte House or the astonishing Piazzetta Bell Tower, among many other places of incomparable beauty.

To get to Capri from Rome you should take your rental car and go through the road E45/A1 in direction to the road E35/Firenze/Napoli. Then, take the exit to Napoli/Centro/Porto. Once in Naples, take the ferry to get to the astounding island. The distance is of about 225 kilometers and the trip until Naples will take you 2 hours and 25 minutes. From here to Capri, the distance is about 45 kilometers and it will take you 2 hours and 15 minutes, as you have to take a ferry.

TIVOLI

Tivoli is the city of villas par excellence. Due to its past as a summer residence of the highest nobility, the former villas are in perfect condition and have become part of the nature, making the place a stunning location to go for a walk in. There are many remains from the old city, though the two most important and visited places are: Adriana Villa and Villa d’Este. Moreover, in this wonderful Italian paradise you can visit other places as the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Silbilla, Gregorian Villa, the Hundred Fountains, Saint Bernardine Palace, Braschi Villa or the Grandi Terme.

Tivoli is about 34 kilometers away from Rome and it won’t take you more than 30 minutes to get to it with your rental car. The road you have to take is the A24 and, then, the exit to Tivoli.
