Cost of a cab from Fiumincino to Rome hotel?

Hello. I go to Rome in a few days and haven't booked any airport/hotel transfers. I'm staying at the San Marco hotel, which is fairly central. How much is reasonable to pay for an airport cab to the hotel. And, would it be the same price back to the airport on my return?Cost of a cab from Fiumincino to Rome hotel?
A taxi between Fiumicino airport and the city is 40 euro each direction. You can verify this here: http://www.adr.it/portal/portal/adr/Fium鈥?/a> . However, make sure you take an official taxi - there are illegal cabs than can cost more.





The price is for up to 4 people and includes baggage. It can cost a little more if you are going to the airport very early or late.





However, it costs 11 euro to take the Leonardo Express train from the airport to Roma Termini station. There's also a train for 5.50 euro that runs from the airport to Roma Tiburtina station which makes several stops in Rome along the way. It's usually cheaper taking the train into the city and getting a cab or walking from there. The Hotel San Marco is within walking distance of Roma Termini station. I would recommend taking the Leonardo Express train rather than a cab.Cost of a cab from Fiumincino to Rome hotel?
There are many ways to get from FCO to hotels in and around Rome. What determines which is the best depends on your budget.





Below are several options, ranging from least expensive to most expensive (and consequently from least convenient to most convenient).





1. Regional train from FCO to Tuscolana station. From there you can access underground Metro line A to Termini station or anywhere else in Rome. Ticket costs 5 Euro. For more info: http://www.adr.it/content.asp?Subc=1362%26amp;鈥?/a> Click on the Schedule from FCO to Stazione Tiburtina and return





2. Leonardo Express Train - Leaves Fiumicino airport every 30 minutes. Travel time is 35 minutes to Termini station with no stops in between. cost is 11 Euro. For more info and schedule see: http://www.adr.it/content.asp?SUBC=1361%26amp;鈥?/a>





3. Rome taxi - Use only authorized taxis. These are white, have built in meters, and are found at the arrivals area of each terminal. The fare offered by Roman city cabs is 40,00, including luggage for a max of 4 people as long as the destination is within the Aurelian walls which mark the ';center of Rome';. Fares offered by Fiumicino local cabs is higher, 60 Euros so be sure to check where your cab is from and agree on the rate before you step inside. The local telephone number for taxi service is 06 3570.





4. Shuttle transfer - These are most convenient as the driver waits for you as you exit customs with your name written on a sign. They help with luggage, and deliver you to the doorstep of wherever you need to go. Rates are generally 40 Euro for a shuttle, or 55 if you prefer a private ride. Sometimes you will have a private ride at the shuttle rate whether you request it or not. I recommend limoserviceitalia.it
enjoy yr trip, i'll be going next month so i did some serach on the web %26amp; it says 45 Euro from Fiumicino to the center of room %26amp; by train arround 11 euros %26amp; it will be the same for return





be aware of pick pockets, nearly every one advise u of that





have a lovely trip
I would recommend you to go by coach to stazione termini in the centre, and get the directions from there on google. It will be much cheaper for you! You can buy the tickets at the airport or even on the plane sometimes!
