Four things to know before getting in
-
A Roman taxi is white, licensed and has the meter in view
TAXI sign on the roof, licence number on the doors, meter switched on. Anyone offering a ride inside the terminal or in front of the station is not a taxi driver: you take a taxi at a rank or you call one.
-
The meter starts at €3.50 and counts distance and time
Flag fall €3.50 on weekdays, €5 on Saturdays and public holidays, €7.50 at night. After that, €1.33 per km at the start of the ride plus the time spent stationary in traffic. A short hop still costs at least €9.
-
Airports and the cruise port have flat fares
Fiumicino ↔ the centre inside the Aurelian Walls €55, Ciampino ↔ the centre €40, Fiumicino ↔ Civitavecchia €130. The price is per car, includes luggage and tolls, and applies even when the taxi is ordered through an app.
-
Cards are accepted and a receipt is compulsory
The driver has to take cards and has to hand over a receipt. If something looks wrong, note the licence number and report it to the city council.

Frequently asked questions
What is the taxi number in Rome?
The single number run by the city council is 06 0609: an automated line sends the nearest taxi to the address you say out loud. The cooperatives answer with a human operator: 06 3570 (Radiotaxi, the largest fleet), 06 6645 (Pronto Taxi), 06 5551 (Samarcanda), 06 4994 (La Capitale) and 06 4157 (Tevere).
How much is a taxi from Fiumicino to Rome?
€55 flat, per car and not per person, between the airport and any address inside the Aurelian Walls: the historic centre, Termini, the Colosseum, Trastevere. Luggage and extras are included. Tiburtina station is €60, Ostiense €50. From Ciampino to the centre it is €40.
Is there a call-out charge for a taxi in Rome?
There is no fixed booking fee. The car comes to you with the meter running, but when you get in it cannot show more than the flag fall plus €5 — so at most €8.50 on a weekday.
Do taxis in Rome take cards?
Yes. Drivers are required by law to accept cards and debit cards, and to give you a receipt. A refusal can be reported to Roma Capitale using the licence number printed on the doors.
How far in advance should a taxi be booked?
In normal conditions a taxi arrives in 5 to 15 minutes. At rush hour, in the rain or on strike days it takes longer: for a flight or a train, book the evening before with a cooperative (06 3570, 06 6645, 06 5551), which takes bookings for a set time.
How much is a 10 km taxi ride in Rome?
Roughly €20 to €22 on a weekday with normal traffic: €3.50 flag fall, €1.33 per km for the first 5 km and €1.45 after that, plus the time spent standing in traffic (€32.58 an hour). At night the flag fall rises to €7.50. Work out your own ride with the fare calculator.
