Many of us recommend this car service for €40:

I do know the feelings you're experiencing. Many years ago I was charged €90 to go from the Westin Excelsior to FCO and being that I was running late to catch my flight I merely said 'tu sei criminale' over and over and paid him. And I'm STILL kicking myself that I didn't get a policeman...

But you're in Rome now - and as these things go, you got off pretty easy - so enjoy your trip! (But do book a car service for your return - or take the train).

Rome Forum: Beware of taxi drivers at Termini station

2010-11-02T07:36:00.000-07:00

Oct 03, 2009, 11:30 AM

Hello,
just wanted to share my taxi experience from recent trip to Rome. After returning the rental car at the station, we needed a taxi ride to our hotel which was 3 streets away (we had large luggage, so couldn't walk. We were also running late with returning it, so decided to skip). We approached taxi driver at the taxi stand and before we departed I asked how much would it cost. His response was...28 Euro! He didn't start the meter and I questioned that, his reply was - "it is a flat fee in the city". What a BS! I said he has to turn on the meter. He got off the car, threw our luggage on the sidewalk and said we can walk. He also told other taxi drivers not to take us - they are all one big mafia on this stand.
We walked towards the main entrance to the station and flagged taxi from the street. The fare was ....8.5 Euro including luggage fees.
I just wanted to let you know to avoid this taxi stand - it is on the right side as you exit the station - at the end of the sidewalk. You can stop taxi on the street and make sure they have meter on.
I asked in the tourist office where can I report it as I wrote down the plate and taxi number, but they looked at me as I just landed from Mars.
So, all I can do is to warn others.
Thank you.

In Rome, the train from the airport is a "recommended" way to get downtown, however, you may find that for two persons, a taxi is a preferrable way to go. When you consider the train fares, schedule, taxi fare from Terminus, and the train hassles, you may want to consider hailing a cab. Cabs are less stressful after a long transoceanic flight; they are reasonable and comfortable.
The train is about 11 EUR per person.
A taxi from Fiumicino is a 40 EUR and 30 EUR from Ciampino, this is a set fare day or night - don't let them charge you more (they will try). Perhaps rather late now but, for a map of the area covered by the set airport fares, see...
http://www.comune.roma.it/was/reposit...

(Some changes - including an increase of 5 Euro to both rates - are set to take effect, apparently, on 31st October 2010) ....................................
Once you arrive in town, you can decide how to get to the attractions. You should find Rome easy to walk EVERYWHERE. You get to see more, meander in and out of shops, and it is no more than 45-50 minutes to any attraction you will want to see in major downtown areas. You do need good shoes as the brick or cobblestone streets are tough on your feet and legs.
....................................
Should you feel you've been cheated by one of the licenced taxis, the link for the English version of the Rome Comune's official complaint form is...

http://www.comune.roma.it/was/reposit...

There are some explanatory notes on the Italian version, intended to assist in the identification of the offending vehicle and its driver - roughly, they translate as.....

1 TAXI licence number
Shown on the vehicle's front doors (near the symbol of the Comune of Rome) and also on notices beside the numberplate on the rear of the vehicle and affixed to the inside of the left rear passenger's door.

2 Name of the driver
Shown, together with the TAXI licence number, on the notice affixed to the inside of the left passenger door (in some cases, instead of a person's name, that of the relevant taxi cooperative is shown)

3 Radio Taxi company
The Radio Taxi firms operating in Rome are as follows: 3570 Radiotaxi - 6645 Prontotaxi - 4994 La Capitale - 4157 Tevere - 8822 Eurocosmo - 5551 Samarcanda - 5601646 Ostia Lido

4 Radio Taxi abbreviation
Varies depending by Radio Taxi company, but a name (an Italian or foregin city, country, river, star or gemstone) followed by a number

"Rome is a city best seen on foot" is what I have read and readily agree with. However, there are times when you are just exhausted from walking but still want to go see the city. We took a taxi several times throughout our stay in Rome and found that not only was it inexpensive and convenient, it was also an experience in itself. The driving in Rome is absolutely crazy (Naples is worse) and being able to experience that from the perspective of being in the car was exciting and fun. Also, we almost always had a nice cab driver who would give us facts about places we would drive by in his broken English. Back to the inexpensive part: If you stay in the city center, you can pretty much spend no more than 7-10 Euro on a cab ride. It can be more at night as the base price may be a bit higher. This is also the case if you take a cab from the train station. However, this is no comparison to getting a cab in NYC. So in conclusion, I highly recommend this type of transportation when your feet are hurting or when you are lost, it is worth the money.

You'll hear plenty of tales of woe about Rome taxi rip-offs - this isn't one of them.

We used taxis quite a bit during the week we were there and never had any problems at all.

Our first taxi was from the airport and we'd been warned this can be a hazard. Knowing that it's a set fare of 40 euro from Fiumicino to anywhere within the Aurelian walls in the city, no matter what the time or how much baggage you have, was a good base to start from. As long as you take a licenced taxi from the official rank (they're all white, with 'taxi' lights on top, and each has a taxi license number displayed on the door) you shouldn't have a problem either. If you do, insist on getting the the taxi's license number and make it clear you're writing it down - don't forget to take down the name and number of the co-operative as well as the driver - and ask for a receipt.

Call 060606 to report any problems.

There are other set charges too - including the flagfall that will show on the meter immediately you enter the taxi. This varies according to the time and day - currently (summer 2008) it is
€2,33 from 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays
€3,36 from 7 am to 10 pm on Sundays and holidays
€4,91 from 10 pm to 7 am all days of the week

and there are 2 tariffs. Tariffa 1 applies inside the city's ring road. If you cross the ring road, Tariffa 2 will be applied but the driver is required to inform you when this happens. The Nueva Feria for example is outside the Ring Road, and not part of the airport fixed tariff scheme, so Tariff 2 be displayed on the meter but only after you have crossed the rindg road.

Baggage is charged at a rate of €1,04 per bag - this charge does not apply from the airports where the set fare includes your luggage but is applied on all other taxi journeys.

If you call a taxi to pick you up do be aware that the meter will be set from the minute the driver sets off to collect you, which can make quite a difference to a fare. The easiest way to get a taxi is to walk to a taxi stand - there are plenty of them around the central district.

Rome's higgledy-piggedly streets are a one-way nightmare maze for drivers - if your taxi seems to be going the long way round, it's more than likely because your driver is well aware of that and is taking a faster, albeit longer-as-the-crow-flies route via the city's arterial roads. Since 8th february 2008 these are the new fares (18% increase):
2,80 euro initial fare (this is just for seat into one taxi)
plus 0,92 euro per kilometer.

As usual in italy, if you call a radiotaxi by phone the meter will be switched on from the point of the taxi departing. This means that when eventually it will pick you up you have to pay also that part of the trip.
In Rome the agree is that you will pay this surcharge depending on how long you wait the taxi:
2 euro up to 5 minutes wait
4 euro up to 10 min wait
6 euro for more then 10 min wait

Termini train station: taxi departing from there will charge an extra 2 euro.
Airport rides are fixed fee: Ciampino at 30 euro, Fiumicino airport at 40 euro.

ps: It is not easy, but it's possible to stop an empty cab on the street. But be aware that the sign on the roof must be lighted on (this means that the cab is free). Not easy to see in daylight!

Rewies taxi in Rome

If you are staying at a hotel and are in need of a taxi (obviously) the door man will hail you a cab. Before you get into the cab, ask the doorman what the fare should be. He will usually be able to give you a "ballpark" answer. The reason I give this advise is because on my last trip to Rome, my sister, daughter and I stayed at the Cavalieri and needed a cab to go to the vatican. A cab was hailed and we hopped in. It wasn't until we were almost there that I noticed that the meter wasn't on. When we stopped the driver pushed a button and the meter read "25". He tried to charge us 25 euros. We argued with him for a while and eventually paid him 15 but we were both very angry. That night when we got back to the hotel we asked the doorman how much it should cost and he said not more than 8 or 9 euros. At that point we told him what had happened. Unfortunetly we didn't get the name of the driver or the cab number so we couldn't report him. Always ask someone if you can!!!!!!!!!!
