In Rome, cameras enforce a Zona a Traffico Limitato, a restricted traffic area. This area usually corresponds to the historic parts of the city and restricts traffic to local residents, shopkeepers and public transport. Driving in these areas without a permit results in a fine, and therefore is best to be avoided! For parking in the city, expect to pay around €2 per hour in either the street parking or the public garages.

Tolls on the autostrada, Italy’s highway system, are required to be paid in cash. Upon entering, you'll be able to take a ticket from a machine to pass through the barriers and the total cost of your drive will be calculated upon exit.
