Rome Ciampino pick-up points
Ciampino has one small passenger terminal, so every pick-up point is a few minutes' walk from baggage reclaim. Two things are worth knowing before you land: the white taxis wait outside arrivals for a fixed fare into Rome, and every bus and coach leaves from the stops across the road, opposite international departures. Here is each pick-up point, as Aeroporti di Roma and the operators state it.
The 30-second version
Walk out of arrivals to the taxi rank outside: white cars only, €40 fixed to anywhere inside the Aurelian Walls. A booked driver meets you in the arrivals hall. For the coaches to Termini, the Airlink to Ciampino station and the city buses to the Metro, cross to the stops opposite international departures. A friend collecting you should use the P3 car park, 200 metres from the terminal, where the first 15 minutes are free.

Passenger terminal
- Taxi
Taxi rank outside the arrivals hall
Take only white cars with a TAXI sign on the roof, the city's crest on the front doors and the licence number on the doors, at the back and inside. The fixed fare, all supplements included, is €40 to anywhere inside the Aurelian Walls and to Ostiense or Tiburtina station, and €55 to Fiumicino. Ignore anyone in the terminal offering a ride.
- Pre-booked driver
Arrivals hall
A booked driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name. Give them your flight number so they follow any delay. The arrivals terminal closes from midnight to 06:00, so on a very late landing agree to meet at the exit.
- Uber and ride apps
The point the Uber app gives when you book
In Rome, Uber offers licensed taxis through itTaxi, with a maximum fare guaranteed for the trip, and Black and Comfort cars with professional drivers. Uber lets you reserve a pick-up for when you land, with flight tracking; the app shows where to meet.
- Bus
The square opposite the airport, a few metres from the entrance
The Ciampino Airlink bus leaves every 20 minutes for Ciampino station, where you change to a train to Termini; one ticket covers both for €2.70. There is no size limit on luggage.
- Coach
Bus stops opposite International Departures
Terravision, SIT and Rome Airport Bus run direct to Roma Termini every day, in about 40 minutes. Buy tickets online, from the authorised agents in the arrivals terminal or on board. Long-distance coaches to Naples, Milan and other cities leave from the same stops.
- Bus
Bus stops opposite International Departures
ATAC city bus 720 runs to Laurentina on Metro line B, and 520 to Cinecittà and Subaugusta on line A. ATRAL buses run to Ciampino station and Anagnina on line A. Buy ATAC tickets at the City of Rome tourist information point in arrivals, open 09:00–18:00.
- Friends collecting you
P3 car park, about 110 open-air spaces, 200 metres from the terminal
The car park the airport recommends for stays of up to an hour, with the first 15 minutes free; it cannot be booked online. Tariffs are shown at the entrance, and the pay machines are opposite the departures terminal.
- Car hire
Desks inside car parks P6, P8 and P12, at the airport entrance on Via Mameli
A free shuttle runs between the terminal and the car hire car parks. You return the car to the same car park you collected it from.
Being picked up by a friend: where to wait and what it costs
Yes, for 15 minutes. The airport's easy Parking P3 car park, about 110 open-air spaces 200 metres from the terminal, is free for the first 15 minutes and is meant for stays of up to an hour; after that it is charged at the rates posted at the entrance. Your friend pays at the automatic machines opposite departures or at the easy Parking desk in the arrivals hall, open 07:00–23:00. Outside those hours, the call button on the machines and barriers reaches the 24-hour service. Ciampino is small, so it takes only a few minutes to walk from reclaim to P3; have your friend wait there rather than at the kerb.

Meeting a pre-booked driver
A car with driver, known as NCC, has to be booked ahead, unlike a taxi from the rank, and the driver meets you in the arrivals hall or at a point you agree. Agree the price, the meeting point and how you will recognise the car when you book. Anyone who approaches you in the hall offering a lift is not your driver and may not have a licence.
Late at night
Ciampino takes no commercial flights between 23:00 and 06:00, and the arrivals terminal closes from midnight to 06:00. For a late landing the taxi rank is the simplest answer: €40 to the centre, typically 31–39 minutes to our hotels. Check the coach companies' last departures before you fly, and if you are travelling with children, book a driver who tracks the flight.
Accessible pick-up
ADR Assistance looks after travellers with reduced mobility from the aircraft seat to the kerb, free of charge; request it through your airline at least 48 hours before you fly. The terminal is compact, so the walk to the taxi rank or P3 is short. Free courtesy pushchairs wait near the terminal access ramp for families heading to the pushchair collection point by belt 4.
