⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Only use the official white taxi rank outside Arrivals; drivers soliciting inside the terminal are not official Roma Capitale taxis and may overcharge.
  • For central addresses like Trastevere, state 'tariffa fissa' and confirm the €55 fixed fare before driving; if the meter starts, you may pay more than necessary.
  • Paper train tickets must be validated before boarding; digital tickets are tied to the chosen train and date.
  • Don't accept rides from unlicensed drivers or 'transfers' that are not pre-booked; they often lack meters and fixed pricing.
