Taxi in Florence
In Italy TAXIs are usually stationed at TAXI STANDS: you can either go there or have them called by your hotel or call them yourself as in Italy you cannot flag them down as they pass by. Taxi rate increase at night time and out of town routes.
You can request in advance price of longer routes both asking directly to the taxi driver or during the call to request the taxi. Rates from/to Airport to/from Downtown and downtown Hotels are fixed, check prices in the chart below.
Taxis in Florence are white colored and usually spotless clean. Taxi drivers are quite picky and they may check you out if they think you or your luggage may dirt their vehicle... so forget drinks, food or smoking in the taxi. Make sure you do not leave anything in the vehicle as it may be a pain to recover it, if it happens try to remember at least the taxi name/code.
