Arrival at Fiumicino

Fiumicino, also known as Leonardo da Vinci or simply FCO, receives most international arrivals into Rome, split across two terminal buildings, T1 and T3. Handover for a rented car is arranged per booking - once we know which terminal you land at and your flight number, a precise meeting point is agreed rather than assumed at a general kerb or hall. At an airport with two separate terminals, guessing a location can cost an arriving guest time that a short exchange of details would have saved.

Documents and Flight Details

Before travel, we ask for the flight number, airline and expected landing time, along with the terminal, T1 or T3, so the handover can be coordinated to the actual arrival rather than fixed to a slot on paper. At the point of collection, a valid driving licence, identification and the payment card used for the booking are checked against the reservation. Keeping a contact number reachable on the day helps if a gate change or delay shifts the original plan.

Returning the Car

Return can be set back at Fiumicino to align with a departing flight, or at a different point in Rome if the itinerary changes - a hotel in Prati, an address in the EUR district, or another agreed location outside the historic centre's ZTL cameras. Agreeing the return point and time at the time of booking avoids ambiguity later, particularly for guests connecting to a flight from Termini or continuing toward Ciampino.

Choosing the Right Car for the Trip

A landing at FCO is often the start of something longer - a meeting in EUR, a stay in Prati, or a run out toward the Castelli Romani hills or a coastal day with the roof down. The fleet includes SUVs suited to airport transfers with luggage, convertibles such as the Ferrari Roma Spider for open routes toward the coast, and sport models for guests who want the drive itself to shape the first hour in Rome. Matching the car to the route, whether a city transfer, a hill-town afternoon or a motorway stretch, is worth deciding before the flight lands.

Simple process

How pickup works

  1. 01

    Choose the car

    Select a model suited to the trip ahead - an SUV for airport luggage and a business run, a convertible for a coastal detour, a sport model for the drive itself.

  2. 02

    Share flight details

    Send the flight number, airline and terminal, T1 or T3, along with expected landing time so the handover can be coordinated to your arrival.

  3. 03

    Confirm the meeting point

    A precise handover arrangement is set for your booking based on terminal and timing, rather than a fixed general location.

  4. 04

    Collect and depart

    Documents and payment details are checked at handover, the car is reviewed together, and you drive out toward Rome or onward routes.

Q & A

Fiumicino Airport Rental Questions

A quick read of what most rental clients ask before booking.

  • Can I collect a car directly at Fiumicino Airport?

    Yes. Handover at FCO is arranged for each booking, with the exact meeting point confirmed once your terminal, T1 or T3, and flight details are known.

  • What arrival information do you need before I land?

    The flight number, airline, expected landing time and terminal, T1 or T3, so the handover can be timed to your actual arrival rather than a fixed slot.

  • What if my flight is delayed?

    Sharing the flight number in advance allows it to be tracked. Keeping a reachable contact number helps if a gate change or delay shifts the original plan.

  • Can I return the car to Fiumicino even if I collected it elsewhere?

    Yes, a return at FCO can be arranged even if the car was collected at a different point in Rome. Confirm the return location and time when booking.

  • What documents do I need at handover?

    A valid driving licence, passport or identification, and the payment card used for the booking, checked against the reservation on collection.

  • Can I request a specific model, such as a convertible, for airport pickup?

    Yes, specific models from the fleet, including convertibles, SUVs and sport cars, can be reserved for FCO handover. Confirm the model and dates ahead of travel.

  • Can the car be delivered to a hotel instead of Fiumicino?

    Yes, delivery to a hotel or residence in Rome can be arranged as an alternative to airport handover, with the meeting point set outside the historic centre's ZTL zones.
