Civitavecchia has two motorway exits, called Civitavecchia Sud and Civitavecchia Nord rispectively. Today, the toll costs €1.20 south and €2.30 north.

Leaving from Civitavecchia towards Rome, you will find the exits to Santa Marinella/Santa Severa, Cerveteri/Ladispoli, Torrimpietra, Maccarese/Fregene until you get to the junction with highway A91 Roma-Fiumicino that takes to the Leonardo da Vinci Airport. Along the way you will find many parking areas with wide car parks, services, bars and gas stations.

If you have just left the Port of Civitavecchia you will be at about 7 km from exit Civitavecchia Sud and at 5.5 km from Civitavecchia Nord. No matter which exit you take, to get to Rome you have two options:

• take the exit Torrimpietra (toll €1.20) and continue along the stretch of State Highway Aurelia that rejoins with GRA, Rome's ring road. If you exit at Civitavecchia Sud you will spend an overall of €2.40, while exiting at Civitavecchia Nord costs €3.50 (price for one way);
• exit at Maccarese/Fregene (toll €2.30) and continue along until the point in which the A12 cuts across Roma-Fiumicino Road. From there, you will obviously carry on towards Rome. If you exit at Civitavecchia Sud you will spend an overall of €3.50, while exiting at Civitavecchia Nord costs €4.60 (price for one way).

If you don't want to take the highway it is possible to get to Rome from Civitavecchia by car driving along the State Highway Aurelia. You won't have to pay in the toll booths but you will spend more time overall, about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
