What's this trip about?

    Start your trip in the Rome area. Explore the capital city or venture beyond to the stunning countryside! In the city you can see the Colosseum, stop by the Roman Forum, or toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain for luck. Or you could see the ancient city of Ariccia to see the Abbazia di San Nilo a Grottaferrata. Take your rental car and spend the last few nights of your vacation at an accommodation nestled in the Tuscan hills. Surrounded by vineyards and cities alike, feel free to make day trips of your choice. Maybe you'll see the Leaning Tower of Pisa or Maybe you'll spend your time in Florence to admire classic art from Picasso and da Vinci. *Please note: In Italy, certain car categories will incur an additional drop-off fee when returning to a different location within the same city. Drop-off surcharges will apply to all categories when returning to a different city. These fees vary based on the category of car rental and the drop-off location, and are required to be paid on-site at the time of rental.
