Taxis at Verona Airport
Make sure
your taxi driver has a permit and the meter is turned on. As a rough
guide, the journey to the centre of Verona takes about 15 minutes and
costs around €15.00-€ 20.00.
The amount to be paid is shown on the meter and it is usual to tip between 5 and 10%. You may have to pay extra if you have luggage. Some taxis may take credit cards but it is much easier if you carry some cash to pay the driver.
The three main taxi companies operating out of Verona Airport are:
- Unione Radio Taxi +39 045 532 666
- Taxi & Autoblu +39 045 858 1403
- Radiotaxi Catullo +39 045 9815997
Official taxis in Italy are white and have an illuminated "Taxi" sign on their roof and a meter which starts at a preset amount depending on the time of day.
In Verona easiest way to get a taxi is at a Taxi Stand as you are not guaranteed to have an English speaking operator if you telephone for a taxi. If you do not speak Italian and cannot find a Taxi Stand go into a bar/café, order a drink and ask the bar person call a taxi for you.
When the taxi gets to you the meter is already running as the driver turns on the meter as soon as it is dispatched, so you pay for the miles taken for them to get to you. You will therefore save money by getting a taxi from a rank.
You can also flag down a taxi, but this can take some time as they do not seem to cruise the streets like they do in London or New York.
