About Taxis in Lucca 🚕
Taxis in Lucca are typically white and can be found at designated taxi ranks, such as at the train station or Piazza Napoleone. They can also be hailed on the street or booked via phone (e.g., radiotaxi 0586882020) or through apps like Taxi Now.
Official taxis display a roof sign and a meter, and drivers are required to use the meter for all trips. Always ensure the meter is running and check the tariff table inside the vehicle to avoid overcharging.
For safety, only use licensed taxis with a proper ID card. Be aware of common surcharges: luggage (€1.50), night service (€2.80), and trips to/from the airport or outside city limits. Drivers may charge a fee for returning to the city after dropping you off.
Booking in advance via phone or app can reduce waiting times. Some services like GetTransfer allow pre-booking with fixed prices, though these may be higher than metered fares. For short trips within the center, walking or using local buses (€1.50 single ticket) may be more economical.
Tipping is not required, but rounding up the fare or leaving €1–2 for help with luggage is appreciated. If you suspect a scam, ask for a receipt and note the driver's license number.
Tips for Taxi Riders
- Always check if the meter is running before your ride starts.
