The cheaper option changes at 2 travelers, from the FL1, FL5, port shuttle and Grimaldi ferry to Cagliari to the Official taxi, fixed fare. That is the whole reason this comparison is not a single number.
The fixed fare applies only to licensed Rome city taxis and only within the Aurelian Walls. Drivers touting inside the terminal are not the official rank.
Journey time is the least predictable of any option here; Rome traffic decides it.
One boat on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 20:00, landing at 09:00 or 11:00 the next day; the timetable is published to 31 December. Leave the airport by about 16:30 to be at the terminal by 19:00.
Be at Terminal ADM an hour before departure, with an identity document for every passenger, children included.
Take the free shuttle from the Fortezza stop, by Forte Michelangelo, to Terminal ADM. It is not the cruise shuttle, which does not stop at the ferry docks.
A deck place has no seat or berth. A seat (poltrona) costs up to EUR 34 outside high season, and Grimaldi sells cabins too.
