Rome - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?

I wouldn't bring anything you don't mind getting dinged up. We had a larger sedan that we purchased at post, and private off street garage parking. Highly recommend having a vehicle for weekend travel. - Sep 2025


No trucks or minivans, unless you live out in the Cassia or Grazioli and have larger parking. We use a parking garage, but they have limited hours. Parking on the streets can be rough. Smaller cars, including Smart cars, are king. We found a mechanic that helps us with car parts and check ups. - Aug 2024
