My sister and I plan to take a taxi from Civitavecchina, Rome, to Roma Ostiense/Roma Tiburtina train station,
"Starzione" termini (near the Colosseum and Roman Forum). I know it is very costly. I wish to have an estimate so I may prepare the money and not to be ripped off.
Also are department stores open on Sundays in Malaga, SPAIN?
Thank you so much!
It sounds like you'll be getting off a cruise ship. If that is the case consider a private car service rather than a regular taxi. We can not say enough good things about Rome Cabs. It is a private car service -- not a cab company. It will probably cost a little more than a regular taxi, but will be well worth it to have your driver waiting for you. We always use them and have always been very pleased. Go to romecabs.com and see what you think. We usually send an email and they answer us with a quote within 24 hours. You do have to pay cash (Euros) at the end of the journey but not in advance.
This is a private transfer company that can take you from the cruise port to Rome:

Regular taxi fares won't be much less. Figure at least 120 euros for a regular taxi. You can also take the train for about 1/6th the price.

We found transportation difficult just getting from the ship to the front of the port. Then we took a 2 Euro local bus to the train station. The train ride into San Pietro train station was maybe 45 minutes. We went on to Termini because we could catch the Metro back to the other side of the Vatican area. We finally got!to our B&B around 3:30 p.m.
I agree to take a Roma shuttle bus to minimize the hassle.
CIV to Rome is about 130 euro by private transfer.
Yes, Department stores in Malaga should be open on Sundays. For example El Corte Ingles stays open from Noon to Midnight on Sunday (or until 2 am on Friday and Saturday night). Small shops outside the tourist areas may be closed, but in tourist areas they are open as well.
