The Rome city council’s symbol as well as the taxi licence number are both clearly displayed on the car front doors and inside the vehicle (rear doors left).
Once on board make sure the taximeter (usually placed on the front window) is on, if not ask the driver to switch it on immediately.
When possible, take the taxi directly from a taxi parking area or call it by phone; through radiotaxi you can book the transfer to airports, train stations and hospitals. A supplementary cost for the call will be charged.
