Pre-booked private transferorOfficial taxi to Fiumicino Airport, fixed fare?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Pre-booked private transfer reaches Roma Termini and the historic center; the Official taxi to Fiumicino Airport, fixed fare does not. The other airport, not the city. For a connection between the two; for the centre take the Airlink or the Terravision coach.

Both are listed at 40 min.

Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night. Official taxi to Fiumicino Airport, fixed fare: hours not recorded.

No ride time is published for the taxi between the airports; transfer companies quote 25 to 59 minutes for the same road, and traffic on the ring road decides it.

The fixed fare applies only to licensed Rome city taxis. A driver who approaches you inside the terminal is not the official rank.

Fiumicino has two terminals about 300 metres apart; the fare is the same to either, so name yours.
