Came across this article a couple of months ago.
The Ciampino taxi issue - they truly are jerks - has been known for years. I just take the bus.
The article suggests MyTaxi app.
Anyone tried it yet? I've seen mixed reviews on TA, but often TA contributors are novice travelers and what may be difficult for them may be perfectly workable for the more experienced.
I stay in central Rome and there's always a Taxi Stand around the corner, but this would be easier (for poor Italian speakers like me) than the phone for that 4.30am pickup.
