An always returning problem for tourists and travellers is getting a cab; let him drive the shortest way to your destiny and after arriving; paying a reasonable and realistic price.

We all have experiences with cabdrivers, some are funny or colourful, but mostly the stories have tendencies in the way we feel a little cheated.

Most times the problems lie in the field of communications, we don’t speak the local language and vice versa the cabdriver doesn’t speak our.

The authorities of Tuscany and the tourist board distinguished this problem and started a search for a solution.

Last month the taxi drivers and hotel managers in Florence reached an agreement to stop the wild grow of different prices.

From now on all the taxi rides between the centre of Florence and the Peretola Airport will cost 20 euros. On Sundays and holidays there will be an additional fare of € 1.90 and a night fare will have an addition of € 3.20.

So we can start or end our holiday without getting upset.

Furthermore there has been agreed on fixed taxi rates for destinies outside Florence (From the city and the airport):

• Pisa: € 140
• Livorno: € 150
• Siena: € 120
• San Gimignano: €90
• Bologna: € 170
• Viareggio: € 160

We wish you a buon viaggio and “where can I get a taxi” in Italian is “dove sono I tassi”.
