 Our rental Car by deecat
We rented from Auto Europe [before we left]. The car was a Peugeot 206 stick shift car. For ten days, the cost was $529.38 or about $53.00 per day. We picked it up at Rome Fiumicino Airport [Leonardo Da Vinci] and delivered it back.
If you want to cover the four provinces [Ancona, Ascoli Piceno, Macerata, Pesaro-Urbino], see both the mountains and the beaches, then a car is necessary. We rented our car through Euro Car Rental before we left the United States. We picked up and dropped off our car at the Airport in Rome. We just took our printed sheet to them when we arrived at the rental desk and submitted the sheet upon return. We had already paid everything before we left the States.
The Marche is right in the middle of the Italian peninsula and the surface area is between Emilia Romagna to the north; Toscany and Umbria to the west; Lazio and Abruzzo to the south. In our stick-shift car, covered most of that entire territory.
I will say that when in the historic city that were walled, we parked our car in a car park and walked within the town itself.
Since we had already been in Italy three other times and had always driven either leased or rental cars, we were fully aware of the driving habits of the Italians. Thus, it just seemed "normal" to us this time. Driving in the mountains with all the Italians can be pretty intimidating, I must admit. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Public transportation, it appears, is sparse. There are plenty of trains to and from Ancona - but to go out to smaller places it could be a problem. There are a handful of trains that go to Porto Recanati each day, and I've seen buses connecting Porto Recanati to Loreto and Recanati. I'm not quite sure how one could go to Urbino and Sirolo - I think sometimes to have a car it can be quite an advantage. Failing this, get a local to drive you around.

When you go to Portonovo, from late April to half September, it's better to leave your car at the top of the hill above the bay. Simply turn opposite to Portonovo bay at the main crossroad with the blue flag, where they indicate Welcome to Portonovo. After a few meters there is a free and big car parking, where you can leave the car, and use the free bus to go down. It's not only a matter of parking prices, which are about 5 Euro per half day, but also a matter of space: it's often hard to find a park, even in a toll parking, unless you have a room in a hotel in the bay.
