🛬 Group transfers from Rome's airports
Groups arriving in Rome, for example for a pilgrimage, a school trip, a congress or an organised tour, land at Fiumicino (FCO), the large international airport, or at Ciampino (CIA), closer to the city and used mainly by low-cost airlines. The distances differ, and so do the time and cost of the transfer.
With AllBusItalia you send a single request: it reaches the chauffeur-driven rental companies in Rome, who reply directly with their quote. Here we focus on groups of 8 to 50 people: for individual travellers there are fixed-price services, but for groups the price depends on too many variables to be the same for everybody.
🚐 Vehicles for the transfer
Van, 8 seats — for small groups, large families and transfers where comfort and flexibility matter.
Minibus, 16-20 seats — the most requested vehicle for groups of friends, delegations and event guests.
Midibus, about 30 seats — for medium-sized groups and for those with bulky luggage.
Coach, 50 seats or more — for organised groups, schools, teams and congresses.
The more luggage you have, the more space you need: state the number of people and suitcases in the form.

ℹ️ Practical information about the airports
Fiumicino "Leonardo da Vinci" is about 30 km south-west of the centre and has several terminals: state the arrival terminal in the form. Ciampino is about 15 km from the centre and has mostly low-cost flights.
Historic centre: access for tourist coaches is regulated by the city and there are dedicated pick-up and drop-off points. The company knows them: state the hotel or where you want to get off in the form and ask in the quote for the planned point.
Meeting point: agreed with the company in the quote. Ask where the driver will wait for you and how to recognise them, and keep their phone number at hand.
Night arrivals: state the exact time, as some companies charge a surcharge.
💶 How much does a group transfer cost?
The price of a transfer depends on five things: the route, the vehicle (a minibus costs less than a 50-seat coach, but it is not enough for every group), the time of day, the waiting time and the season.
An offer for a group of 16 can be very different from one for 7 people with three suitcases each. That is why, instead of one price list for everybody, we recommend you compare several quotes for the same trip: with a single request you receive them from different companies.
🎯 Who the service is for
Pilgrimages and religious groups — arrivals and departures for visits to the Vatican and places of faith, including at major religious events.

Travel agencies and foreign groups — arrival and departure transfers for organised tours.
Cruise passengers — connections between the airport, hotels and the port of Civitavecchia.
Companies, congresses and teams — delegations and away trips, including for matches at Stadio Olimpico.
❓ Frequently asked questions about transfers from Fiumicino and Ciampino
How much does a group transfer from Fiumicino and Ciampino cost?
It depends on the route, the vehicle (van, minibus or coach), the time, the luggage and the waiting time. That is why there is no single price list: with AllBusItalia you send one request and receive free quotes from companies in Rome, so you can compare offers.
What is the difference between Fiumicino and Ciampino for a group transfer?
Fiumicino is the large international airport, about 30 km from the centre; Ciampino is closer (about 15 km) and mainly serves low-cost flights. For the transfer, distance matters: the longer it is, the more travel time and, generally, the higher the cost. Always state the airport and arrival terminal in the form.
What happens if the flight is delayed?
Enter your flight number and arrival time in the form: companies can track the arrival and adjust the waiting time. The conditions (waiting time included, any surcharge beyond a certain delay) vary from company to company, so ask in the quote and get them confirmed in writing.
Can a coach reach the hotel in the centre of Rome?
In the historic centre, access for tourist coaches is regulated by the city and there are dedicated pick-up and drop-off points. The companies know them and will tell you where the group can get off: write the hotel name or the exact address in the form and ask in the quote for the planned drop-off point.
What vehicle do I need for 7, 16 or 30 people?
Up to 8 passengers a van is enough; from 9 to 20 you need a minibus; for about 30 people a midibus; above that, a coach. If the group has a lot of luggage, it is worth going up one category or asking for a vehicle with a large luggage hold: always state the number of bags.
Do the companies hold the required licences for transfers?
Carrying passengers with a driver requires specific licences (an NCC licence for cars and vans, a coach-hire-with-driver licence). Ask the company for the details in the quote and check them before confirming.
How do I pay for the transfer?
Payment is agreed directly with the company you choose. AllBusItalia does not collect money: it connects people looking for a transfer with chauffeur-driven rental companies.
