Yes, Uber is available in Tuscany in 2026, but its presence is largely concentrated in Florence (Firenze) and it operates differently than in the U.S. or UK. In Italy, the "standard" UberX does not exist due to strict local regulations; instead, you can book Uber Black, Uber Lux, and Uber Van, which are serviced by professional, licensed "NCC" drivers (limousine drivers). These services are significantly more expensive than a standard taxi but offer a higher-end experience with luxury vehicles. For travel between cities—such as Florence to Siena or Pisa—you can use Uber Reserve to book a ride up to 90 days in advance. However, once you venture into the rural "Chianti" countryside or smaller hilltop towns like San Gimignano, finding an on-demand Uber becomes nearly impossible. In these rural areas, you are much better off using local taxi apps like itTaxi or, ideally, renting a car. In 2026, the Uber app also integrates with local taxi fleets in some Tuscan cities, allowing you to hail a standard white taxi directly through the app, which is often the most reliable and cost-effective option for short city trips.
