Do taxis in Milan take credit cards?

Most cabs accept the payment of the fare by credit card, but it's better to ask the driver before getting in the car. Just in case, double-check that the driver starts the meter. Uber, MyTaxi and it Taxi are just a few of the taxi apps you can use in Milan.

Use your card to pay for train tickets, souvenirs at gift shops, hotels, trattorias (Italian eateries) and more. You'll need cash for street food, taxis, tour guides and purchases under 10 or 20 euros. When you compare cards, look for a product that lets you forego the foreign ATM transaction fee.

Cab drivers in Italy never expect a tip, so if you give one to them, they may be surprised. If you're using a car service like Uber or Free Now (formerly myTaxi), tipping is also not required. But if any driver goes out of his or her way to assist you, it's OK to give a small tip.

The bigger cities in Italy (Rome, Naples, Milan, and Turin) use a taxi app called FreeNow. It works similarly to any other rideshare app. You can enter your pick up and drop off location and can track the driver the whole way. Additionally, you can pay on the app or with cash at the end of your journey.

Yes, you can Uber in Italy, but it's not the same. It's available in Rome and Milan. However, only Uber Black is available, meaning higher prices and nicer vehicles.

Milan's subway, bus and tram system makes getting around Milan very easy and inexpensive. A single journey urban ticket, which covers travel in urban Milan (not outer city suburbs) is 1.50 euros (about $1.80). Ticket prices are the same on the subway, bus and tram and are only valid for 90 minutes after purchase.

Definitely use credit cards as much as possible. You don't need to bring any cash. You might want to get 100 Euro from an ATM at the airport when you arrive in Italy and hit ATMs as needed throughout you trip. Consider getting larger sums to avoid the (roughly) $2 ATM fee everytime you use an ATM.
