Lamezia Terme taxi safety and complaints
When you take a taxi in Lamezia Terme you can feel assured knowing that all drivers must undergo a background check and have a clean driving record in order to be granted an official licence. Nevertheless, scams are known to happen on the odd occasion where a driver may attempt to hike up the final fare price by taking a longer route or claiming the taximeter isn’t working. If this happens to you – or if you’re made to feel unsafe in any other way – make sure you take down the vehicle and driver details such as the registration number and request a receipt. You can then choose to make a complaint directly to the taxi company or the local police.

If you have a foldable wheelchair that can be stored in the trunk, it’s possible to take a regular Lamezia Terme taxi from outside the airport. However, if you require a more specialised vehicle, you can contact Assistiamo Te ahead of your arrival to request that a wheelchair-accessible taxi be waiting for you when you land.
