Safety Tips & Scam Warnings
At Fiumicino, avoid anyone offering "cheap transfers to Civitavecchia" inside the terminal. Only use the official taxi rank or your pre-booked transfer. The motorway toll on the A12 is included in all quoted transfer prices — if a driver tries to charge it separately, this is not standard practice.
