There are eleven car categories offered by National at Fiumicino Airport, ranging from smaller and fuel efficient vehicles in the Economy class to larger and more spacious vehicles in the Minivan and Van categories.

These are ideal vehicles for city driving, as they are easy to control and easy to slide into small parking areas! They generally seat up to two adults and two children, therefore just the right size for a couple or small family. They don’t however have much space for luggage, only storing one large luggage item and one smaller item, therefore longer road trips may require a larger vehicle. Vehicles in the Compact category are of a similar size to the Economy class vehicles, although those in the Compact Wagon category have extra room for luggage, for example, the Fiat Stilo SW Active 1.9 JTD 120cv.

Vehicles in the categories of Intermediate, Midsize Specialty and Fullsize are great cars for the average sized family or business traveler, as they are slightly larger than the previous category vehicles mentioned. They generally seat up to five adults, and have room for two large items of luggage and two smaller luggage items. Examples of these vehicles include the VW Nuova Passat Comfortline 1.9, Mercedes B 200 CDI 2.0 and the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance 2.2. Passengers who need more luggage space can choose the Fullsize Wagon category, with vehicles such as the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance SW 2.2.
