• Several private bus companies connect the centre of Rome to Ciampino Airport.

• The taxi rate from Ciampino to Rome and vice versa is 30 Euros.

At the moment there are 3 private bus companies connecting the airport of Ciampino to Rome: Terravision, SIT Shuttle and Cotral/Schiaffini.

Terravision used to be the most expensive one of these, but now costs only 4 Euros. Officially they only accept RyanAir passengers and sometimes you are asked to show your flight ticket before you can get on the bus. Terravision has an office at the airport itself and also in Termini station, on the Via Marsala side. They have buses connecting to evey flight.

The SIT Shuttle bus costs the same and also stops in the Via Marsala. Unlike the Terravision buses, which will not drive into Rome unless they are completely full, the SIT Shuttle buses have fixed departure times. Tickets can be bought from the driver.

The Cotral/Schiaffini bus stops on the other side of Termini, in the Via Giolitti and costs 4,50 Euros for a single trip. Tickets can be bought from the driver.

There is no train station at the airport of Ciampino. If you wish to take the train into Rome, you will have to take a Cotral/Schiaffini bus to the Ciampino City railway station and then from there a train to Roma Termini.

Taxis from Ciampino Airport to anywhere within the city walls of Rome and vice versa have a fixed rate of 30 Euros, regardless of the number of bags you have, the time of day, or the day of the week.
