Ciampino Airport Transfer | CIA to Rome

Rome Ciampino Airport (CIA) is the city's second airport, used primarily by low-cost carriers including Ryanair and easyJet. Located 15 km southeast of central Rome, it's significantly closer than Fiumicino, but taxi queues can still be long and public buses unreliable. A private transfer from LocalsRide means your driver is in the arrivals hall when you land, at a fixed price confirmed before you flew.

Transfers start from €40, fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.
