Can you hail a taxi in Verona?

When it comes to exploring all the exciting sites this city has to offer, the best way to get around is to take a Verona taxi. You can either hail a taxi in Verona in the street, prebook your rides, call for a phone dispatch taxi or use a local Verona taxi app.



In Verona, you generally cannot hail a taxi on the street by waving your hand; instead, you must go to a designated taxi rank (parcheggio dei taxi) or book via an app. Ranks are conveniently located at major hubs like the Verona Porta Nuova train station, Piazza Bra, and Piazza delle Erbe. If you aren't near a rank, the most reliable method in 2026 is using the AppTaxi or itTaxi apps, which connect you to local drivers. Uber is available in Verona but is limited to its "Black" and "Van" premium services, making it significantly more expensive than a standard city cab. If you're dining at a restaurant, the staff will usually be happy to call a "Radio Taxi" for you. Taxis in Verona use meters, and it is common practice to pay by card, though carrying a few Euros for shorter trips is still appreciated.
