Safety Tips
Only use white taxis with a 'TAXI MILANO' roof sign and the Comune di Milano crest on the front doors. Unlicensed cars often wait near Centrale and tourist sites.
All Milan taxis must use the meter, if the driver claims it's broken, insist on starting it or exit and report the plate number to 02 8585.
Locals rely on the official apps Free Now and itTaxi for regulated taxis; Uber Black is available but pricier, while Uber Pop is banned.
At night or when alone, sit in the back, share your live trip via the app, and note that licensed cabs in Milan have a four-digit ID card displayed on the dashboard.
Common Scams to Avoid
At Malpensa and Linate airports, some drivers refuse to use the fixed-fare meter to the city center, claiming the meter is "broken" or quoting inflated flat rates. Insist on the official fixed fare displayed at the taxi stand or walk to the official queue where drivers are required to honor it.
Taxis waiting outside major tourist sites like the Duomo or La Scala may quote prices several times the metered fare, late at night. Walk a block away to hail a moving taxi or use a ride-hailing app to ensure metered pricing.
Some drivers take unnecessarily long routes through the ring roads (tangenziali) when traveling between districts, adding time and distance to what should be a direct trip. Track your route on a map app and politely point out if the driver deviates significantly from the most direct path.
