Limo in Rome. Hotel vs. Best Deal

My hotel is offering limo service from airport to hotel for 55 Euros, but I found Rome Shuttle Limousine for 35 Euors.

Is there any advantage to booking through my hotel at the higher rate?

The only advantage is the gratitude from your hotel for giving them the extra 20E.

I have done the taxi,Leonardo Express and the Rome Shuttle many different times. If you can get the Rome Shuttle-use them as they are way cheaper and its really nice to see your name on a cardboard sign as you exit baggage claim. Tip them 5 Euros when you get there and you are good to go!

Thanks, dutyfree. I usually tip at the end of a trip. Why do you advise tipping upon arrival?

This might be a dumb question, but is the 35 euros per person or for the group?

It is for two passengers. I believe their may be an additional charge for additional passengers.
