Coach hire with driver in Rome
When a group is too big for a minibus, a charter coach is the comfortable way to travel in and around Rome. Full-size coaches typically seat about 45 to 57 passengers (approximate), midi coaches about 20 to 35.
Groups charter a coach in Rome for sightseeing at the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums and the Trevi Fountain, transfers to conferences, concerts and sports venues, and bus day trips to Tivoli, Orvieto, Pompeii and Civitavecchia cruise port. Multi-day coach tours can start in Rome and continue to Lido di Ostia, Velletri and Aprilia and further across Europe.
Good to know: Coaches entering central Rome need a permit and use set drop-off points, so routes are planned in advance.

Planning a charter coach in Rome
- Driving and rest times: professional drivers must follow driving and rest-time rules, so long days may need planned breaks, a second driver or an overnight stop.
- Drop-off points: many city centres restrict where coaches can stop and park; the driver plans drop-off and pickup points close to your sights in Rome.
- Luggage and equipment: tell us about suitcases, instruments or sports gear so the bus has enough hold space.
- Book early: coach availability is tighter in peak season and during big events, so request your coach in Rome as early as possible.
