Thanks for going to so much trouble, Walter! If I'd have had this in hand I might have tried the train into Rome, but just 35e to have someone from RomeShuttleLimo waiting for us was too easy to pass up. (You do have a phone number to call in case you can't find your driver and for whoever asked: driver is paid in cash when you reach your destination. The three of us each had one small and one 26" bag and there were no other fees.)
DH thought I was crazy to also tip 10e but he got us to our train in great time yet completely spoiled the others into thinking all Italians would drive like him. Um, not quite!

Thanks for all the detailed info.
We arrive (june) at 745am. There are 5 of us and we are considering doing car service instead of train. (In the past we have done car service in Rome) What is the traffic going into the city going to be like at that time (once we clear customs etc) I guess my question is, would it be easier / faster taking the train, considering that we are staying in P.N. area and would have to take a taxi from termini anyway.
TIA

Adding my thanks to all the others for the time & effort you've spent making this experience so easy.
My family (4 adults, two children) has planned a trip to Italy in early Sept. We all arrive at FCO, but plan to transfer immediately to Florence by train. The couple w/ the two young children arrives at FCO two hours earlier than we do. Do you recommend that they spend the two hour interval at the airport, & if so, how can they amuse themselves? Or should they go directly to the termini, try to store their luggage & hang out there? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi Walter,
Have you heard when the Leonardo Express train tracks will be moved into the main Termini station, eliminating the 10 minute walk between the two? I had previously thought it happened last December, but we were in Rome in mid-June and didn't see a sign of any work being done. The LE tracks were still in the separate area.
