Seasonal changes in car rental prices in Rome: overview based on confirmed bookings

The chart shows prices collected on the basis of confirmed car bookings made through the RentCarFy website and reflects the average daily rental cost. It is important to note that, when compiling this data, all types and classes of vehicles were taken into account, as well as bookings with no-deposit and no-credit-card options.

After analysing seasonal changes, it is easy to identify the periods with the lowest and highest car rental prices in Rome.

The lowest prices are recorded in February, at just €13 per day. This is 58.1% cheaper than in the most expensive month of the year. The most budget-friendly period also includes January (€17) and November (€16). Prices in January and November are on average 45.2% and 48.4% lower than the peak July price respectively. This is an ideal time for a budget trip to Rome, when the tourist flow is usually smaller.

The highest prices are observed in the peak summer period, namely in July, when the average rental cost reaches €31 per day. Other expensive months include June (€27) and December (€24), which is typical for the start of the summer tourist season and the Christmas holidays. The rental price in June and August is €27, which is 107.7% higher than the lowest price. Even in December, due to the holiday season, the price of €24 is 84.6% higher than in February.

If you are planning a trip to Rome on a limited budget, the winter months (February, January, November) offer the best value deals. On the other hand, when travelling in summer, especially in July, you should expect significantly higher car rental costs.
