FCO Airport is located 32 km southwest of the Rome, and is accessible via A91 Roma-Fiumicino, a 6-lane motorway. It can easily be reached from Rome's surrounding ring road, taking the Fiumicino (A12) exit and following signs guiding to the Airport.

The Kiss&Go area - a controlled traffic zone (ZTC) - is for drivers headed for Terminals 1, 2 3 - allowing for a 15-min. stop in that area - while the Stop&Go area - a limited traffic zone (ZTL) - is only for authorized operators.
