Book Private Driver

When you hire a private car with driver in Rome, you get:

  • A confirmed vehicle (luxury sedan or van) — not whatever taxi happens to be available
  • A fixed price agreed in writing before the trip
  • A professional driver with an NCC licence issued by the municipality
  • No meter — traffic jams don't change the price

The service is governed by Italian Law 21/1992, which distinguishes NCC from public taxi services and sets professional requirements for drivers and vehicles.

In practice: you contact us, agree on route, time, and price, receive written confirmation with your driver's name — and on the day, your car and driver are ready and waiting.


| Feature | Rome Taxi | NCC My Rome Driver | |---|---|---| | Pre-booking required | No (street hail) | Yes (always) | | Price | Meter (varies with traffic) | Fixed, agreed upfront | | Guaranteed vehicle | No | Yes (luxury sedan or van) | | Max passengers | 4 | 4 (sedan) · 7 (van) | | Extra luggage | €1/bag surcharge | Included | | Flight/vessel tracking | No | Yes, real-time | | ZTL access Rome | Limited | Yes (NCC authorisation) | | Night surcharge (22–06) | Meter applies | +30% on fixed rate only |

The practical rule: for a quick 10-minute hop in the city centre, grabbing a taxi off the street is perfectly fine. For anything requiring guaranteed punctuality — airport, cruise port, train station — or for families and groups, a pre-booked private car is the reliable choice.


Airport and port transfers Fiumicino, Ciampino, Civitavecchia cruise port: your driver monitors your flight or ship arrival in real time. If your flight is delayed, the driver adjusts automatically — you don't need to call anyone. With a taxi, you'd be calling for a cab while still in baggage claim. See the full Fiumicino to Rome transfer comparison guide.

Groups and families With 3 or more people, the per-person cost drops rapidly. A group of 4 paying €65 for Fiumicino→Rome centre spends €16 per head — less than a Leonardo Express ticket, with door-to-door service to your hotel including all luggage.

Families with children, elderly passengers, heavy luggage NCC guarantees the vehicle type. If you need a Mercedes V-Class van with child seats, that's exactly what you get — not whatever car happened to be first in the queue. See the private transfer Rome with children guide.

Full-day tours and sightseeing No taxi will accept an 8-hour exclusive booking. A private hire car with a full-day rate gives you a dedicated driver for the entire day — Rome, the Castles, Tivoli, or wherever you want.

Long-distance transfers Rome to Florence, Rome to Naples, Rome to Positano: on routes over 150 km, a fixed-price private driver is the comfortable door-to-door alternative to the train.

Frequently asked questions

NCC stands for **Noleggio con Conducente** ("hire with driver") — Italy's regulated private hire vehicle service under Law 21/1992. Unlike a taxi, NCC operates only on pre-booking, uses fixed prices agreed before the ride, and uses higher-category vehicles. Drivers hold a professional NCC licence issued by the municipality.

A **taxi** is a public service, hailable on the street, using a meter. An **NCC** is a private pre-booked service: the price is fixed regardless of traffic, the vehicle is guaranteed (luxury sedan or van), and you receive the driver's name before pickup. The key practical difference: with NCC you know the exact price before the ride.

It depends on the route. For Fiumicino airport, the official taxi fixed rate is €48 while NCC starts at €65 — but NCC includes real-time flight monitoring, 60-min free wait, and a guaranteed luxury vehicle. For Civitavecchia or any metered journey over 45 minutes in traffic, NCC is often comparable or cheaper. For groups of 3+, the per-person cost drops significantly.

Yes. Licensed NCC vehicles in Rome hold authorisation to enter the ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) historic centre zones. This is a practical advantage over standard taxis, which face restrictions in certain inner ZTL areas.

For transfers (airport, port, station): at least **24 hours** in advance (72 hours in high season April–October). For full-day tours and hourly services: **48–72 hours** minimum, **4–7 days** during summer or major events. For urgent transfers, WhatsApp us — we confirm availability within minutes.

Yes. Long-distance transfers are a core part of our service. Rome to Florence starts from €320, Rome to Naples from €280. Fixed price, door to door, no changes at train stations. See our [Rome to Florence private transfer guide](/guide/transfer-privato-roma-firenze-autista) for itinerary options and comparison with the train.
