Taxis in Milano

• Taxis in Milano are all white and mid-priced in comparison to other European cities (for instance, a taxi from Linate to Duomo costs around 20 euros). You can hail a cab on the street, although this is not customary: you usually call one with your smartphone or walk to the nearest taxi parking area of which there are several around the city. At Centrale Station, exit to the right of the platforms outside the station (where Malpensa buses leave) or to the left (where Orio al Serio buses leave); at Cadorna Station, taxis are also outside the station to the left (towards the Castle). You can reserve one on the phone (but not at airports, where you’ll just have to join the line outside which is usually short) for a fixed time and date, although this will cost you an extra, considering the time that a free cab needs to reach your position.
• All cabs must accept credit or debit cards for payment and give you a receipt for expenses if you ask for one. Tipping is expected only for very good service but it’s not mandatory.
• In Milano there are about 5,500 cab drivers authorized by the Municipality of Milano to carry passengers around the city and to its three airports (MXP Malpensa, LIN Linate, BGY Bergamo Orio al Serio). To all taxis and taxi companies the same rates and rules apply. The service is provided all across the Lombardy Region (so that you can take a cab from Milano to, say, Lake Como, although this would cost you around 200 euros). There has been somewhat of a dearth of taxis in Milano lately, and the Municipality has issued hundreds of new licenses to deal with the problem. Uber is not a valid alternative in Milano, as it’s not allowed to operate along normal taxis according to Italian law. There is a loophole, though, as NCC drivers (meaning renting a driver with their vehicle) are allowed, and this is the only way Uber Black and many individual operators can take passengers to destinations for an agreed fee, provided they call the NCC driver in advance. Many organizations resort to NCC drivers to shuttle employees and delegates around events and hotels in Milano.
