Dear travelers. I am looking forward to rent a Car in Rome to travel thru Italy in October 2025. I am not familiar with Electric neither Manual transmission cars. I reserved Citroen C3 Gas/Petrol, Citroen C3, Automatic at a good rate even with Insurance from a Global Car rental company. but later I read about this new Ban on Petrol/Diesel started in November 2024 until October 31 2025. Honestly I am not sure if this car falls into this BAN (Diviete Permanenti). The Romamobilita.it website is not clear to me even if translated it to English.But here is what it says literally in the English translation:
Permanent bans from November 2024, from Monday to Saturday (24 hours a day), excluding weekday public holidays, the following CANNOT access, circulate or park in the Green Zone (Resolution 371/2022 and Ordinance 122/2024)
Motor vehicles (including resident's)
- petrol, LPG and methaphene Pre-Euro 1, Euro 1 and Euro 2
-diesel, Dual fuel and mixed fuel Pre-Euro 1, Euro 1, Euro 2 and Euro 3
I would not be driving in Rome other than go to the Hotel and the Termini Station where I plan to rent the car due to the good price compare to the Airport.
Does anyone have this problem driving into Rome with a Petrol Car ? I am not sure why the Car rental companies still list many Petrol Cars inside Rome if there is a new BAN in place ? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks. Jose.
