Milan taxi prices

If you’re taking a taxi, Milan has an official tariff system established by the municipality and it is binding for all companies. This means your final fare will be calculated using a taximeter. The following Milan taxi prices apply:

Day Tariff (06:00-21:00):

Base fare  – €3.90
Price per km – €1.28

Night Tariff (21:00-06:00):

Base fare – €7.60
Price per kilometre – €1.28

It’s important to be aware of additional charges that apply only to the city of Milan. Most notably, when the taximeter reaches €16.74, the fare per kilometre increases to €1.91. Additionally, you may need to pay extra for things such as vehicle type, number of passengers, and excess luggage.

*When taking a Milan Airport taxi from Malpensa Airport to the city centre, taxis offer fixed fares of €104. For Bergamo Airport and Linate Airport, fixed fares do not apply.

How to get a taxi in Milan

Getting a taxi in Milan is simple enough, as there are multiple ways to do so. You can hail a taxi from the street, although Milan taxis are not very easy to flag down as drivers are not used to picking up passengers off the street.

A better alternative is to walk to the nearest taxi stand. Ranks are located in Piazza Duomo, Piazza Repubblica, Piazza Duca D’Aosta, near Garibaldi railway station, Piazza Castello, and Largo Augusto, as well as outside train stations and at the airports.

For a more convenient door-to-door service, you can call a local Milan taxi service, or book a private transfer,  Reliable taxi companies in Milan include Taxiblu (+39 02 4040) and Radio Taxi Freccia (+39 02 4000). Just remember that when calling a radio taxi company, the meter starts running as soon as the driver gets the call, so your fare will be higher.

Finally, you can also download a Milan taxi app and hail a ride from your exact location. Popular Milan taxi apps include appTaxi and Free Now.

Why pre-book a taxi in Milan?

Sacrificing precious time to locate a taxi rank or hail a cab is not ideal. Plus, during rainy days, peak season or periods when the Fiera Milano has events, taxis are almost impossible to find, so waiting times may be longer. That’s why we recommend booking a private transfer with a trusted provider like Welcome Pickups.

Not only will you secure a fixed fare ahead of time, but you’ll unlock trained, English-speaking drivers, 24/7 customer support and personalised, on-time pickups.

So book a Milan taxi in advance with Welcome and enjoy a customised, stress-free ride.
