Rome is the capital of Italy and with a population of 2.7 million, it is the largest city in Italy population wise. With tourist attractions such as the Vatican, the Pantheon and the Coliseum, Rome is understandably Italy's most popular tourist destination. Not as well known is the fact that Rome has more parks and gardens than any other European capital. Of special interest to our car lease clients (since you will be driving a brand new car with unlimited mileage) are the many attractions on the outskirts of Rome. The ancient city of Pompeii is also a popular tourist destination.
Auto France has been providing a unique long term car rental solution in Rome since 1991 in partnership with French auto manufacturer Peugeot. The Peugeot package by AutoFrance is a unique take on renting a car in Roma in that we provide a brand new (never driven) vehicle for every customer. We don't mean "Like new", it is quite literally from the factory floor. The vehicles are delivered to Rome airport in advance of your arrival therefore the paperwork and arrangements must be done well before showing up to grab the keys. The result is nothing short of awesome when you arrive to FCO airport and are greeted with that new car smell after simply showing your passport and signing off.
The entire process of picking up your car rental at Rome airport is actually faster and easier than a regular car rental and you won’t be badgered at the counter by a sales rep trying to squeeze insurance coverage out of you. Have a peak at our Rome airport PDF in advance, it outlines the procedures for picking up and returning vehicles to Rome FCO airport along with contact information and operating hours for the local agent.
The average duration for a long term car rental in Rome is 53 days however the contracts can range from 15-355 days in length, your choice. One thing remains constant, each contract comes with a zero deductible full insurance policy built into the price up front which allows you and your loved ones to drive fully protected not only in Italy, but throughout Europe. Lastly, the program is designed specifically for U.S residents traveling to Europe so the additional perk to your pocket is that the whole system is designed to be Tax-Free as you are not subject to VAT tax based on the contracts technical designation as being a "temporary lease" AKA French Buy Back Lease or TT Lease.
