Florence to Civitavecchia Private Transfer

[Diane Rose]

Having spent many times in Rome Pre Cruise, I decided to stay in Florence prior to our October 2023 TA.  I’m looking for recommendations for a reputable company to do a transfer for 4 adults, 6 large suitcases from Florence to Civitavecchia.   Can anyone help?  Thank you!

That's going to be expensive, I would get quotes from several companies to compare.  Here is one to start with:  Car Service with Private Driver in Italy by Deluxe Limo Italy

 

There are other services often mentioned on these boards but I don't know if they have services from Florence, certainly others will respond with more insight on them.

Rome in Limo. Huge thread just down the board. Wonderful company.

Thank you! I know the cost is much more than a train, but too many suitcases to travel that way.  A bit more reasonable as we can split between 2 couples.

 

I did search, but nothing came up.  I’ll check both companies out.  Still have a year to go.

 

Thank you!

I’ve used Rome Cabs in the past.  They are phenomenal and the one quote that I have already received.  As it is pretty high, I did want others to compare.

 

Thank you,

Curious what you think it should cost, considering the vehicle will have to deadhead back.

You might also look into a luggage forwarding service.  You could pack something small to keep with you in Florence and send your big bags ahead to Civitavecchia.  That would make taking the train easy.

 

Or, if your flight arrives to Rome you could check your big bags at the airport, then go on to Florence without them, stopping to pick them up on the way back.  You might want to pay for a car service from the airport to the port in this scenario, but it will be a lot less expensive.

 

Another possibility to consider is to rent a mini van and drive yourself.  There are two or three rental agencies within steps of the port entrance where you get the free shuttle bus to your ship.

Cost of a taxi = 500km (that’s round trip) X .63/km = €315.  I thought €500 or less would be reasonable.  But I’m not an expert on this, for sure.  Willing to get the comparisons and make my choice.  Hence my asking for recommendations from those in the know.

Where are you getting the taxi rate estimate?  Taxi fares are doubled when traveling out of town, is that factored in?

That sounds very  reasonable. Is that Rome Cabs' quote? Consider that the trip just from the airport to central Rome is about €60.

I would book it to lock in that price.

The rate chart posted on the city of Florence's web site lists 1,80 euro per kilometer, which would mean more like 900 euro, which is outrageous.  (City taxis really don't want to do these trips, clearly.)

I did get the estimate online.  If it has to double (which I didn’t know) than €630 would be the rate, very close to Romecabs.  If that’s what everyone comes in around I can choose.

I assumed your estimate came from an on-line source, I was wondering if it was a generic taxi pricing site or one specific to Florence.  The generic sites have awful accuracy records.
