Weather and seasons
When to go in Rome?
Best time
April to June
April to June
highs 20 to 30 °C, lows 9 to 18 °C
The best time to leave from Rome: long sunny days, countryside still green in Tuscany and Umbria, and a sea warming up in June on the Lazio coast. Italian long weekends at the end of April, on 1 May and on 2 June fill campsites and motorhome areas, however: book your pitches for those dates.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 33 °C, lows 21 °C
Peak season is very hot in Rome, with highs around 33 °C and almost no rain. Visit the city early in the morning, then seek cooler air at altitude, on the plateaus of Abruzzo. The sea, at 27 °C, draws crowds to the beaches of Lazio and Campania.
September and October
September to October
highs 23 to 27 °C, lows 13 to 17 °C
The late season stays mild, with the sea still at 25 °C in September, but rain returns, often as thunderstorms. It is grape-harvest time in Tuscany and the start of the olive harvest in Umbria, with campsites and sights much quieter than in summer.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 13 to 17 °C, lows 4 to 9 °C
The Roman winter is mild by day, but November is the wettest month of the year and nights are cool. It is the right time for the museums and archaeological sites of Rome, Naples and Pompeii, without crowds. Choose a heated vehicle and campsites open all year.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Leaving without crossing Rome
The depots in Ponte Galeria, on the Via Ostiense and on the Via Pontina are outside the Grande Raccordo Anulare, Rome's toll-free ring road: within minutes you reach the A1 towards Florence or Naples, or the coast to the south. Avoid the GRA at rush hour, when it is often jammed, both when leaving and when returning.
Very large limited traffic zones
Rome's historic centre, Trastevere and several neighbouring districts form vast limited traffic zones (ZTL): entrances are filmed and every unauthorised passage is fined, with the fine often arriving months later via the rental company. There is also a low-emission zone, the Fascia Verde: check the rules in force.
Visiting Rome from a campsite
Several campsites on the outskirts, to the north along the Via Flaminia or to the west on the Via Aurelia, are linked to the centre by train or bus. You leave the motorhome there while you see the Colosseum, the Vatican and Trastevere, without looking for a space in narrow streets where large vehicles have no place.
Toll motorways to the north and east
The A1, the Autostrada del Sole, towards Orvieto, Florence or Naples, and the A24 towards L'Aquila and Abruzzo are toll roads, paid at the barrier; most motorhomes fall into class B, more expensive than the car class. The Via Aurelia and the Via Pontina, toll-free national roads, run along the coast.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Rome
Where can I pick up a campervan in Rome?
Eight partner companies welcome you: Indie Campers in Ponte Galeria, McRent on the Via Ostiense, Rent Easy on the Via Pontina, Motorhomes Italy at Zaccari Caravan, also on the Via Pontina, and at Rome Camper in Albano Laziale, in the Castelli Romani, as well as Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express, Avis Explore and Blurent, whose handover location is given when you book.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Rome?
The price varies with the season, the length of hire, the size of the vehicle and the rental company; Easter and summer are the most popular periods. Run a search with your dates: you compare the real prices of companies in Rome and nearby towns such as Pomezia, mandatory fees included, bookable immediately.
Can I do a one-way trip from Rome?
Yes: Naples, Siena, Perugia, L'Aquila and Giulianova, on the Adriatic, are also departure cities of our partners. A Rome–Naples trip via the Riviera of Ulysses or Rome–Siena via Umbria saves retracing your steps. The company may charge for a return to another depot: enter the arrival city in your search and these fees then appear in the displayed price.
What is there to see around Rome on a short motorhome trip?
The volcanic lakes of Lazio are perfect for two- or three-day getaways: Bracciano and its dark sand beaches, Bolsena and Vico further north, Albano and Nemi in the Castelli Romani. Add Ostia Antica, the Etruscan necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia, or Viterbo and its medieval quarter.
Which motorhome should I choose for a trip from Rome?
The offers observed range from family motorhomes sleeping five, such as the Adria Matrix, to four-berth models such as the Carado T-447, with manual or automatic gearboxes. For Umbria, Tuscany and the Sorrento peninsula, with narrow roads and tight car parks, a compact vehicle makes driving easier; a large model suits families on the Lazio coast.

The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Rome
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Italy?
For vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, a category B licence is enough when it was issued in the European Union. Holders of a licence obtained elsewhere should in principle carry an international driving permit with it, as it is requested during Italian roadside checks. The minimum age and years of driving required vary by rental company: they are shown in the conditions of each offer.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Lazio and central Italy?
Besides campsites, Italy has many aree di sosta, motorhome areas run by municipalities or private owners, often at the foot of the hilltop villages of Umbria and Tuscany. Many agriturismi also welcome motorhomes. In Rome itself, overnight parking in the street is not advisable: choose a campsite or a supervised area.
How do I get to the depots from Rome's airports?
From Fiumicino, the FL1 regional train serves Ponte Galeria, the district of the Indie Campers depot; for the Via Ostiense and the Via Pontina, a taxi is the simplest option. Ciampino airport is the closest to Albano Laziale. Let the rental company know your arrival time so you can arrange the vehicle handover.
Do I need snow chains to drive in the Apennines in winter?
On many Italian roads and motorways, especially those crossing the Apennines towards Abruzzo, winter tyres or chains on board are compulsory during the cold season, usually from mid-November to mid-April, where signs indicate it. Ask the rental company how the vehicle is equipped and check mountain road conditions before setting off.
Can I take a motorhome hired in Rome to Sardinia or Sicily?
The port of Civitavecchia, about an hour north-west of Rome, has crossings to Sardinia and Sicily, and some ferry companies offer “camping on board” on deck. Before booking, check that the rental company allows ferry crossings and that its insurance does cover the islands.
When should I book a motorhome from Rome?
Several months ahead for Easter week, very busy in Rome, and for July and August, especially around 15 August, Ferragosto, when Italians head en masse to the sea and the mountains. Outside these periods, a few weeks are usually enough, but smaller vehicles are the first to go.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Rome
Rome sits at the centre of the peninsula: in a day's drive you reach the Tuscan hills, the hilltop towns of Umbria, the peaks of the Gran Sasso or the Bay of Naples. Few European cities offer so many different regions within three hours' drive, with the Eternal City itself as a bonus, to visit before or after the trip.
Eight partner companies and nine depots, located outside the centre, cover every need, from vans for two to large models designed for the whole family. Naples, Siena, Perugia and L'Aquila, other departure cities of our partners, make it possible to cross central Italy one way. And the Roman spring, from April to June, brings ideal conditions to set off.
