Parking Lots in Central RomeThe following lots/garages are in central Rome; more information (although out-of-date rates) is available on the Rome Tourism Getting Around page.
Parcheggi di Scambio (Park & Ride)A parcheggio di scambio (literally "exchange parking lot") is a "park and ride" lot: found outside of central Rome, you can park cheaply and ride the Metro (or other public transit) into the center. Most park & ride lots are €1.50 for 12 hours, or €2.50 for longer (up to all day), or free if you have a monthly or annual Rome transit pass. A full listing is on the Rome transit bureau's page, but unfortunately the English version doesn't work. They also have a good Metro map (PDF), and the City of Rome provides a good map showing the parcheggi di scambio (PDF), although all the writing is in Italian. The following are some of the major parcheggi di scambio on the Metro lines: Anagnina41°50.6'N 12°35.1'E, on Metro Asmaller lot (134 spots) appears to be free (?) and guarded from 6 AM to 10 PM except Sunday larger multi-level pay lot is closed from 12:15 AM (or 2:15 AM Sat & Sun morning) to 5:15 AM Battistini41°54.45'N 12°25.1'E, on Metro A 177 spots, not guarded, pay 6 AM to 10 AM except Sunday (otherwise free) Laurentina41°49.56'N 12°28.9'E, on Metro Bmulti-level pay lot, closed from 12:15 AM (or 2:15 AM Sat & Sun morning) to 5:15 AM Cinecittà41°50.9'N 12°34.6'E, on Metro Amulti-level pay lot, closed from 12:15 AM (or 2:15 AM Sat & Sun morning) to 5:15 AM

Also note that the very center of historic rome (the centro storico) is a Zona Traffica Limitata (ZTL) or "limited traffic zone" where only residents may drive--if you drive by a ZTL camera, you face a stiff fine.
