What to tip Rome Cabs?

[dmk]

We will be using Rome Cabs for a transfer from FCO to Civitavecchia? I believe it's about 130 euros for 2. What would you suggest for a tip?

Yes, I agree, a total of 10 euros is fine.

My experience of local trips in cabs in Rome (not transfers) is that the drivers create their own tips.

 

There's always a reason for a supplement on the metered fare. It's across the river, it's a Thursday, it's before 10pm, it's after 10pm, there's an R in the month, etc. :rolleyes:

 

I admire the ingenuity :D so I don't argue - we'd have given them extra in a tip anyway.

Yes John, cabs in Rome do have all those arguments. I think the OP was talking about a private transfer company "Rome Cabs", not the normal taxi cabs.

 

Thanks for the laugh!
