Shuttle buses
Several operators run shuttle buses between Ciampino and central stops such as Termini, typically taking about 40 minutes depending on traffic. Tickets are usually bought online or at the airport, with one-way fares commonly in the range of about €5-6; check each operator's current timetable and price before boarding.
Bus plus train combination
A public option combines a local bus from the airport to Ciampino train station with a regional train into Rome, generally cheaper than a shuttle but requiring a transfer and more walking with luggage. Check current regional train timetables, as services can be less frequent outside peak hours.
Official taxis
For Ciampino, check the official fare for your destination at https://romamobilita.it/. Conditions for trips within the Aurelian Walls do not cover every destination. Use the official rank and confirm the applicable fare before departing.

Choosing between options
A shuttle bus suits most independent travellers on a budget with manageable luggage, while a taxi suits groups, late arrivals or those with heavy bags. The bus-train combination can save money but takes planning. Compare total journey time, not just the ticket price, against your schedule.
