Where to Find the Taxi

Follow yellow "Taxi" signs to the official taxi rank outside Arrivals (Terminal 1 and Terminal 3). Only board white taxis — these are the licensed Rome taxis. Any other colour is unauthorised. Do not accept offers from anyone inside the terminal — this is a common scam.

Uber in Rome

Uber operates in Rome but only as Uber Black (licensed private hire, not UberX). Prices are typically €60–90+ from FCO — more expensive than the official taxi flat rate. For airport runs, the licensed white taxi at €48 is almost always cheaper.

Common Scams to Avoid

  • Drivers approaching you inside the terminal — always walk to the official taxi rank outside
  • Drivers who say the meter is broken and quote a price upfront — only accept €48 flat rate to centre
  • Unmarked or non-white taxis — always check the Rome Capitale licence plate on the door
  • Being taken a long route — insist on the A91/GRA motorway route

FAQ

Is the €48 fare really fixed?▼

Yes — it is set by Rome City Council law. The fare covers all passengers, all luggage, and all motorway tolls. You only pay extra for night (22:00–06:00) or Sunday surcharges.

What if the taxi metre starts?▼

If the driver turns on the meter for a journey to the historic centre, remind them the fixed fare is €48. You are legally entitled to pay only €48.

Is the Leonardo Express better value?▼

If travelling alone, the Leonardo Express (€14, 32 min to Termini) is excellent value. For 2–3+ passengers, the €48 taxi splits cheaply and saves luggage handling.

Can I book a taxi in advance?▼

Yes — apps like itTaxi and Rome cabs (radio taxi) let you pre-book. The same €48 fixed fare applies. Pre-booking adds peace of mind at busy times.
