TODDE BUS
ROME
Todde Bus was founded in Rome in 1956, and most of our services still start from Rome every day: school trips, employee shuttles, transfers from Fiumicino and Civitavecchia, tour coaches for groups and tour operators, and pilgrimages. We organise them from our base in Via Ugo Forti, with a fleet of over 100 vehicles that we own and drivers who know the city.
Rome is a hard city to cross with a group. Distances are often short, but along the way there are ZTLs (Zona a Traffico Limitato, the restricted traffic zones) with different hours, historic centre streets where a 56-seat coach cannot go, roadworks, and major events that close entire neighbourhoods. That is why you need a driver who knows where to stop, when to leave earlier and which route to take if the main one is blocked.
TOUR COACHES IN ROME
Tour coach access to central Rome is regulated by Roma Capitale through three dedicated ZTLs (restricted traffic zones), paid permits and designated areas for passenger pick-up and drop-off.
To enter the tour coach ZTL in Rome you need a daily permit, and coaches may only park in the designated areas.
DESTINATIONS
OUR SERVICES IN ROME
THE FLEET
Minibuses with 16 to 27 seats for the historic centre and shuttles, 36-seat buses for day trips and transfers out of town, Gran Turismo coaches with 54 to 56 seats for long journeys and events, and chauffeur-driven cars and minivans with up to 8 seats. More than half of the fleet is Euro 6, maintenance is carried out in our own workshop and the company is ISO 14001:2015 certified.
WHEN TO BOOK
For a single service in a normal period, two or three weeks’ notice is enough. For services with several vehicles you need two or three months. Bear in mind that it takes at least 45 minutes to get from the centre of Rome to the Castelli Romani.
PRICES
The price depends on the vehicle, the hours of service, the kilometres and the time of year. Driver, fuel and passenger insurance are always included, and the quote is free and in writing, with every item listed before you confirm.
OUR BASE
Do you also work in Lombardy? Our base in Lainate covers Milan, the trade fairs at Rho and the lakes.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
