Taxi vs Leonardo express to FCO in June 2019

Family of 3, (2) adults and (1) 16 year old, have 11 AM flight out of FCO on June 11th. Our apartment rental is near the Pantheon. I was thinking of leaving for the airport by 7 AM. Would it be more economical to take a taxi directly to the airport? Or taxi to Termini, then 3 Leonardo fares to the airport? Thanks!

Take the taxi -- it is fixed rate for up to four people. It would be cheaper than a taxi to Termini and the train. And a lot quicker.

I have done both- both are good options- but if there is alot of traffic or an accident- then the Leonardo Express is a better option- if you are pressed on time- to me the train is better because you cannot predict traffic.

Happy Travels✨💫

If you are leaving at 7 AM from central Rome to the airport, this will not only be before rush hour, but in the reverse direction of rush hour traffic. So, a taxi should be fine. I agree it's also cheaper and easier for three people.
