Editor’s Note

Avoid drivers offering "cheap" rides to tourists in the parking lot, and only take a taxi from the official taxi rank.

Standard taxis at the rank aren't equipped with accessibility ramps; plan your transportation with a specialized operator if you're traveling in a wheelchair.
Card payment is usually not 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 expected in Italy, but you can round up the total fare if you want to add a small tip.
