Rome: taxi fees and tips
We will be in Rome, Italy next week, looking for advice on how muchof a tip to give for the taxi drive from Rome airport to Via Veneto for 2 people with probably only 2 suitcases. Also, If we need to take taxis throughout the trip, how much should rides cost us from for ex. Via Veneto to the Vatican, or Via venento to Piazza Navonna. thanks

It's about 50 euros to come into the heart of Rome from FCO.
Rome taxis are reasonably priced. My average ride last May was about 7 to 10 euros, if I remember right. The tip is up to you but 10 percent is a good guide.

I think the 7-12 Euro generalization is pretty accurate, give or take a Euro or two, depending up traffic, too. I only ever trip an additional Euro for "general travel" in Rome.
I've used a limo shuttle service for airport transfers, so I honestly have no experience with taxis from the airport to the historical center of the city.

We were just in Rome and we used Rome Cabs. There rate is 45 Euros. Excellent email communications. Our flight into Rome was two hours late but no problem. Driver was right there waiting for us and took us to the Marriott on the Via Veneto. Had a 7am pick up for return flight home and driver was right on time. Drivers were polite and friendly. Mercedes car from airport and Mercedes van to airport. Highly recommend. Also, make sure you have a bunch of 1 Euro coins to make tipping easier when using cabs around Rome. http://www.romecabs.com/
