Rome Taxi Fares Explained

In Rome, taxi fares start with a fixed base rate that varies by time: 3 euros on weekdays (6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.), 4.50 euros on public holidays, and 6.50 euros at night (10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.). This initial charge activates the taximeter.

The taximeter applies a single progressive rate in three increments depending on accumulated cost: 1.10 euros/km for the first 11 euros after the base, then 1.30 euros/km for the next 13 euros, and finally 1.60 euros/km until the trip ends.

Predetermined fixed rates cover journeys between Rome city center and major airports, like Fiumicino and Ciampino, to provide fare certainty for travelers. Taxi holders must issue receipts on request, ensuring transparent billing.
