    Getting TO/AROUND: Since 8th february 2008 these are the new fares (18% increase):
    2,80 euro initial fare (this is just for seat into one taxi)
    plus 0,92 euro per kilometer.

    As usual in italy, if you call a radiotaxi by phone the meter will be switched on from the point of the taxi departing. This means that when eventually it will pick you up you have to pay also that part of the trip.
    In Rome the agree is that you will pay this surcharge depending on how long you wait the taxi:
    2 euro up to 5 minutes wait
    4 euro up to 10 min wait
    6 euro for more then 10 min wait

    Termini train station: taxi departing from there will charge an extra 2 euro.
    Airport rides are fixed fee: Ciampino at 30 euro, Fiumicino airport at 40 euro.

    ps: It is not easy, but it's possible to stop an empty cab on the street. But be aware that the sign on the roof must be lighted on (this means that the cab is free). Not easy to see in daylight!
