We're a family of 5 and travel a lot internationally. We always book private transfers including Italy.

I did private transfers last summer and it's well worth it. They all drove larger vans, not minivans.

I booked private transfers between airport/train stations and hotels. It made life much easier.

We are traveling for 2.5 weeks and won’t have access to laundry facilities, plus we need to bring a mix of clothes (beach, casual, and dressy). We will simply need to bring a decent amount of luggage.

Everywhere we are staying has an elevator. Regardless, we have able bodied teens who can schlep the heavy stuff.

That’s what I figured.

We usually have luck finding minivans domestically and we can fit 6 people and luggage in a minivan. But I suppose lining up transfers will make it easier.

Zero interest in taking the train. I’m trying to make travel as easy as possible.

I mean you'd have to do 2 cars with 6 + luggage anyway. Most of their taxis aren't going to be mini-van sized but you will find them for sure. It was really really (REALLY) hard for us last summer to find taxis. Even at the airport and train stations - long lines. But this is early June summer so maybe not so much now? My best advice though would be private transfers just out of convenience. I like private transfers to/from airport on arrival.

There are large taxi vans that may be able to take you depending on how much luggage.

Can you take the train to Roma Termini?

We are a group of 6 with lots of luggage. Can we find a taxi at the airport in Rome that will fit us or should we book a private transfer?
