You, along with the rest of your group, will follow pick-up instructions on your e-ticket on where to meet your driver at the airport
Your journey will be shared with other passengers

The most popular choice is directly to the historic Rome City Centre, home to the Colosseum, the Castel Sant’Angelo, the Trevi Fountain and countless other incredible landmarks.

Rome Airport Transfers – Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my Rome Airport transfers cost?

To make your planning easier, we list prices for each transfer option that is available for your trip. Those prices are what you will pay if you book it that day.

However, because these prices are live valuations and based on currency rates, they can change. This means that if you start looking for your transfers today and return to your search in a couple of days, the prices may differ between your first and second search.

Is there a luggage allowance?

Whether you are travelling by shuttle bus or private vehicle, you will be allowed one hand luggage and one suitcase per person. Please check that your vehicle has the capacity for extra luggage if you think you will exceed this.

How can I add extras to my booking (e.g., additional luggage, wheelchair etc.)?

After you’ve selected your vehicle, you will come to the ‘Extra’ stage of the booking process. Here, you have the option to tell us about anything you might need for your transfer. In the ‘Anything we can help with?’, just let us know if you need more room for extra luggage, or an adapted car for your wheelchair, for example. From there, we will sort out the rest.

I'm finished with my booking. Now what?

When you’ve finished your booking, we will send you an email with your e-ticket. This document includes all the important information, such as where to meet your driver and what number to call in case of emergencies. Once you have received your e-ticket, print it off and show it to your driver when you meet them at the airport.

Make sure you read this document before landing, so that you know where to meet your driver once you have arrived in Rome.

Where do I go when I arrive in Rome?

After arriving at Rome Airport, it is important that you check the instructions in the ‘Find my pick-up’ section of your e-ticket to find your driver.

Depending on whether you’re travelling by shuttle bus or private vehicle, and which transfer provider you’re using, the joining directions can differ. Some instructions may depend on the terminal you arrive at, while others simply send passengers to the arrivals hall where you’ll find a travel representative holding a sign displaying ‘hoppa’ or your name.

With all of this in mind, it’s vital that the ‘Find my pick-up’ section is read carefully. If there isn’t any information about where you will meet your driver for your Rome transfers, call the number on your e-ticket and we will be able to help you.

Where is my driver?

If you arrive at your pick-up point on time but can’t locate your driver, find the number on your e-ticket and give us a call – we will be able to let you know how long they will be.

What if I’m going to miss my pick-up time?

Delays are common, and that is why our drivers will wait for you for up to 45 minutes after your original collection time. Whether your bag is the last one to appear on the carousel, or your flight has been delayed, if you think you’re going to miss your pick-up time, phone the number on the e-ticket to let us know.

Whether you’re really late or think that you will make it within the 45-minute timeframe, we ask that you let us know so that we have plenty of notice to arrange an alternative driver for you.

After a delay of 45 minutes, we will send you another driver, but if you’re delayed for 3 hours or more, you will need to rearrange your Rome transfers with us.

Can I pre-book a taxi from the airport?

Official airport taxis operate on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be pre-booked. However, private transfer services can be reserved in advance, offering meet-and-greet services at the arrivals hall.

Are child seats available in transfer vehicles?

Yes, child seats can be requested when booking private transfers. It's essential to specify this requirement in advance to ensure availability.

Are transfers available from Ciampino Airport as well?

Yes, similar transfer options, including shuttle buses, taxis and private cars, are available from Ciampino Airport to Rome city center.

What is the best way to get from Fiumicino Airport to Rome city center?

It really depends on what matters most to you: comfort, price or how direct the journey is.

Most direct: Taxis and private transfers take you straight from the airport to your hotel or accommodation. They're ideal if you're carrying luggage, arriving late or want to avoid navigating public transport.
Best value: Shuttle buses are budget-friendly and a good option if you're not in a rush and don’t mind sharing the ride.
Public transport: The Leonardo Express train takes about 32 minutes to reach Termini Station in central Rome. Keep in mind you’ll need to continue your journey from there, which can add extra time depending on where you're staying.
