Rental cars are easily available from any one of the rental companies across Europe. However, it is advisable not to drive around the city itself, as traffic is chaotic and cars are a very slow mode of transportation. Rome is surrounded by the Grande Raccordo Annulare, a round ring of highways that basically surrounds the city.
Rome is well connected to the rest of the country by the railways. The main terminal is called Roma Termini. Alternatives to Roma Termini are Roma Tiburtina, Roma Ostiense, Roma Trastevere and Roma Tuscolana.
The two best ways to get around the city are by using public transport or by hiring a bicycle. The public transportation system includes the metro, the trams and the buses. They all have the option of buying single day passes, tourist passes which are valid for three days and weekly passes. Not using the taxis is recommended due to city's chaotic traffic. Rome is best experienced first hand, so most travellers recommend hiring a bicycle or walking around. Though it might tire you out, it is definitely the best way to soak in the soul of the city.
