Yes, taxis do run all night in Italy, particularly in major cities like Rome, Milan, Florence, and Naples. However, the experience is different from daytime travel. Late at night (typically between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM), Italian taxis apply a "Notturno" (Night) surcharge, which is a fixed addition to the base fare on the meter, often ranging from €3 to €6. In smaller towns or rural areas, you cannot expect to "hail" a cab on the street at 3:00 AM; you will almost certainly need to call a radio-taxi service or use an app like FreeNow (formerly MyTaxi) or IT Taxi. Uber exists in Italy but is mostly limited to "Uber Black" (luxury sedans), which makes it a more expensive nighttime option. For a safe and grounded experience, it is vital to only use official white taxis found at designated "Taxi Ranks" near train stations or major plazas. If you are at a restaurant or club late at night, it is standard practice to ask the staff to call a "Radiotaxi" for you. Always ensure the meter is started, and be aware that many drivers may still prefer cash for late-night fares, though they are legally required to accept cards in 2026.
