TODDE BUS

Bus and coach hire in Rome

ROME

Coach hire in Rome from a family that has done this job for three generations

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.

Over 70 years of experience

Millions of kilometres on the road have strengthened our experience in this sector.

A fleet of 100 vehicles

From coaches to shuttles, a modern and varied fleet ready for all your transport needs.

We promote responsible mobility

We contribute to a cleaner environment and a sustainable future for the city and the people who live in it.

TOUR COACHES IN ROME

ZTL, permits and coach parking areas

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.

Access permits

We tell you which permit your programme needs and include it in the quote.

Pick-up and drop-off

We use the designated tour coach parking areas close to the places you visit.

The right vehicle for the centre

Where a Gran Turismo coach cannot go, we suggest a minibus, which handles narrow streets more easily.

Planned departures

Timings are based on the real traffic of the day, not on what the map says.

To enter the tour coach ZTL in Rome you need a daily permit, and coaches may only park in the designated areas.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions about coach hire in Rome

Can a coach enter the historic centre of Rome?

As a rule, no: the historic centre ZTL is closed to tour coaches, with a few exceptions such as primary school groups. For the centre we often suggest a minibus and use the designated coach parking areas.

Do you also work on public holidays and at night?

Yes, every day, public holidays included, at any time. For events that finish late we regularly organise night-time returns.

Can you handle groups arriving on several flights at Fiumicino?

Yes. We monitor flight times and decide with you whether to wait for everyone or run several trips. If a flight is delayed, the vehicle waits.

Can I change the route on the day of the service?

Small changes, such as an extra stop or a 15-20 minute difference, can be arranged with the driver. For major changes, contact us beforehand so we can check availability and costs.

How is safety handled in school transport?

Seat belts on every seat, drivers with a category D licence and CQC (the professional driver qualification card), and specific training for transporting minors. For ongoing services we provide the school with the documentation it requires.

How far in advance should I book?

Two or three weeks in normal periods. Two or three months for spring school trips, major events and services with several vehicles.
