Card payment isn't always an option, so make sure to carry cash in euros or ask the driver if they have a working card machine installed in the taxi.

Tipping your driver isn't required or expected in Italy, but you can round up the total fare for exceptional service.

Standard taxis at the rank aren't equipped with accessibility ramps, so plan your transportation with a specialized operator if you're traveling in a wheelchair.
