RosannaEL Posted July 25 #1 Share Posted July 25 When I look at pre-booking private transfer from Rome airport (Fiumicino) to the Civitavecchia port, the prices are around 200€ for 2 and the transfer takes 1,5 hrs. Yet, according to RomeToRio.com, a taxi is 100-130€, taking 50 minutes. Perhaps August prices are different? Is it silly to think we can just grab a taxi outside the airport?

euro cruiser Posted July 25 #2 Share Posted July 25 (edited) First of all, Rome2Rio is a questionable source, sometimes wrong information, often incomplete. Use it only as a starting point and never rely on what you find there without backing it up with official sites. In this case, the official site is the city of Rome's web site. The fixed fare for a trip from Fiumicino airport to the port at Civitavecchia is 125 euro: Tariffario_Taxi_REV.pdf (comune.roma.it) As noted in the link, this amount is all inclusive, regardless of what a driver may try to tell you. Also note that this only applies to taxis licensed in Rome, those licensed in Fiumicino are not obligated to offer these fares. When in the taxi line, be sure to verify the taxi license (on the side of the car). You can get a taxi from the line at the airport but be prepared to wait. That's the tradeoff with a pre-arranged car service, which leaves when you are ready to go. Edited July 25 by euro cruiser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoopie17 Posted July 25 #4 Share Posted July 25 The drawback to a pre-arranged service is you have to walk to a somewhat remote lot. Not an issue unless you're mobility challenged or have lots of luggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he needed about 5 minutes to get the car, but we waited at the curb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie17 Posted July 26 #6 Share Posted July 26 Since November, 2022 when our driver had us walk about five minutes to a remote lot. Maybe that was a one-off...but that's our experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted July 26 #7 Share Posted July 26 I'm not positive, as I don't personally use a car service at FCO, but I have read comments on Trip Advisor about having to walk to a specific parking lot reserved for car services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many standard cabs are going to be able to handle 4 people plus luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fair to say that no standard cabs could handle it….I’m wondering if anyone has seen minivan type options there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted August 16 #11 Share Posted August 16 I've seen minivan taxis at the airport, but it's not a big percentage of the pool so you might have to wait a while until one comes up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like that at many airports around the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like that at many airports around the world. This is taken directly from Rome in Limo's site. They are one of the largest and most popular private transport companies in Rome. Sounds like it's their policy in all cases: Note for FCO passengers: as the traffic is limited to the arrival at FCO airport, there will be a 5 minutes walk from your arrival terminal to the parking where the vehicle is located.
