Traveling by Public transportation 
Rome 's Metro (subway) system is very good. The bus network is extensive and buses run frequently.

B.I.G. € 4.00. Daily ticket, valid for unlimited metro, bus, and train travel within the Comune di Roma. This includes Ostia, but not Fiumicino airport or Tivoli.
B. T.I. €11.00. 3-day tourist ticket, valid for everything listed under the B.I.G ticket.
C.I.S. €16.00. Weekly ticket, valid for everything listed under the B.I.G. ticket

You can find the tickets-
at the approximately 2,000 businesses, which include tobacconists, newsagents, bars, stationers, in Rome and Latium (except for annual passes)
- in Rome, at the 300 automatic distributors (MEB) located in the municipal territory and installed at the main terminals and underground railway stations (except for monthly and annual passes)

Hire a bike or a scooter 

For 10 Euro you can hire a bike for a day, but be warned! The Romans are not very familiair with bikes on the road, so you have to be careful.
For about 40 Euro you can hire a scooter. You have to be older than 15, with a drivers licence. You have to wear a helmet.
If you are not an experienced scooter driver don't start to practice in Rome! The busy traffic will be too much to handle...

Hire a Car  
Italy is famous for it's crazy drivers. So driving a car in Rome will be a challenge! Also the numerous one-way streets, and the non-parking centre are something to think about before you decide to hire a car.
You can't hire a car below 21, and you should always ensure the car fully. You can find most of the car renting company's at Fiumichino airport and Termini station.
