After arriving on the overnight from the US, we are looking for a reliable transfer to our hotel, Dharma Style. While we are not intimidated by public transportation, we would like to avoid that after the overnight flight. Any recommendations?

Taxi is 55 euros flat rate
Go to the official taxi line in front of terminal
Have the hotel address on a slip of paper, hand it to the driver
Confirm that the credit card machine is working or have 55 euros cash ready
No tip required

Although we have never had any problems with Rome taxi drivers, it is always smart to ask about the credit card machine and second I would have enough cash to cover. Also if using cash count each bill as you hand it to him. There are constant rumors that some times a 20 euro note will just magically change to a 10 euro note. Never happened to us but it is rumor I am willing to believe.

As Frank stated the rumors are true. Although I have never had a twenty 20 euro note change to a 10, I have had a 50 euro note magically change to a 10. Another option for a transfer is Welcome Pickup. It is a taxi, but it is all prearranged. The driver (you will have a name/ picture of the person) will meet you on arrival. They will speak English, the cars are clean and communication is very good. Your card is charged once the transfer is complete. We have used them in Athens and will use them again.
