Journey time by time of day

The A91 Autostrada follows the coast northeast into Rome. Traffic peaks 7:30–9:30am and 5–7:30pm. The GRA ring road can add 20 minutes.

Fastest: Late night or early morning — roads are clear and the drive is at its shortest.

Slowest: Weekday rush hours (7–10am, 4–7pm) can add 30–60 minutes to the journey. If your flight arrives during these times, allow extra margin before onward connections.

Weekends: Generally smooth, similar to midday weekday times.

Step-by-step: meeting your driver

1. Clear immigration and collect your baggage. Your transfer driver is tracking your flight in real time — if it's delayed, they adjust automatically. No need to call or message.

2. Walk through Customs into the Arrivals hall. Terminal 3 Arrivals hall near taxi rank. Terminal 1 near the information desk.

3. Identify your driver. Look for someone holding a board with your name. Most services send the driver's name, photo, and phone number via email or app before your arrival.

4. Walk to the car. Your driver will guide you to the vehicle, usually parked in the short-stay car park (2–5 minute walk). They'll handle your luggage.

Tips for this route

Rome's €50 taxi fare only applies within the Aurelian Walls. If your hotel is outside, expect more. Unlicensed drivers at arrivals charge €80–120 — only use white licensed taxis or pre-book. The Leonardo Express only goes to Termini — if your hotel is elsewhere, you'll need a second taxi.
