Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night. Official taxi to Ciampino 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.
Taxis at Fiumicino leave from Terminal 1 and Terminal 3; both ranks charge the same fixed fare.
