Looking for an easier way you can travel around Rome? The best way to do this is through a car rental with a driver who can also serve as your tourist guide. While the transportation services in the Eternal City are efficient and cheap, commuting is actually difficult especially since it is also the largest and most populated city in Italy. With 3.7 million residents, and receiving 7 to 10 million tourists annually, travelling without a car rental in Rome can be hassle.

As a capital of the great Roman Empire, Rome offers tourists a trip to history. It has a huge historic center which has been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The city is also considered as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it hosts a number of historical palaces, museums, priceless works of art, temples, gardens and other venues. For many tourists who go to Italy, Rome is a must visit. With a car rental in Rome, you can explore everything in the city, and still have plenty of time for a short visit to the neighboring areas. Most car rental companies in the city offers a large number of fleet with their own drivers so you can be sure that you’ll always find a car that suits your needs and your budget.

One of the main advantages of renting a car with its own driver is that you can tour Rome at your own pace. Because you are not part of a tour group, you don’t have to rush from one place to another. That means you get to bask in the magnificence that is Rome. You can pray for hours at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, or go and visit the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere to get a better insight on old world architecture. If you’re not Catholic, you can choose from a number of Anglican churches, synagogues and mosques. You can visit the Vatican museums and appreciate their large collection of artifacts, or go lounge at the Trevi Fountain, one of the iconic monuments of the city. If you’re looking for a little exercise, you may want to have a go on the Spanish steps – a flight of 138 steps which is considered as the biggest in the whole of Europe.

Hoping to go shopping? Make sure you bring your rental car and driver with you so you don’t have to lug around a number of paper bags. At Via dei Condotti, you can purchase a variety of clothing and apparel from the top names in fashion – from Zara, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada and many others. After shopping, you can ask your driver to bring you to Via del Corso where you can try the service of some of the city’s finest cafes and restaurants.

After you’ve had enough of Rome, with a rental car and a driver, you can go further afield and visit the neighboring areas of Naples, Florence, Milan or Tivoli. Or if you’ve been to these towns already, you can even ask your driver to bring you to nearby France, Austria or Switzerland!
