My husband, two children (ages 14 and 10), and his elderly aunt (walks with cane) will be visiting family friends in Abruzzo next week than spending a few days in Rome (it's the kids' first visit). We are flying in and out of FCO. For the week in Abruzzo, we've rented a car which we will be picking up and dropping off at FCO. What do you recommend for transportation for 5 people and their luggage to get from the car rental at FCO to the hotel near the Colosseum? My plan would be to book the same transport back to the airport from the hotel for our departure.
I did a lot of traveling, especially solo traveling, when I was younger and I had no choice but to be very thrifty. So, if it was just me, I would be taking the train to Termini and walking or taking a metro to the hotel. I can't do that with the aunt who can walk but needs assistance. I also lived in Rome at one point for 6 months but it was 25 years ago and I keep hearing how much things have changed. I know a taxi is possible but we would likely need to split the party and that makes me nervous. Has anyone used a private transport service and has a good recommendation? Cost is not necessarily a barrier. Thank you!
