Is Uber reliable in Florence?

Uber isn’t really Uber in Italy

There are several taxi apps
A search of this forum will bring up the info

Never heard there was Uber in Florence; the standard version of Uber is illegal in Italy, while Uber Black can be implemented by using licensed NCC drivers (limos on hire with driver) that are more expensive than taxis.

In order to summon a taxi, phone 055-4242 or 055-4390.
There are also two apps, AppTaxi and Taxi Move.

The two major companies that lachera gave the tel number above can also be accessed through their websites at:
www.4242.it
www.4390.it
(Select the English page option if you don’t speak Italian).
You can summon a taxi through their websites as well if you don’t want to download the apps Apptaxi and TaxiMove.
If you decide to call don’t forget to dial the +39 Italy’s code first (+39 055 4242 or 4390)
They are both reliable. Generally you should not have to wait more than 5 minutes.

Thanks. I will need a taxi early in the morning to catch a 6:30 flight out of Florence in three weeks. Rather than wait until the early morning I leave, I’d like to have it already arranged.

You can phone any of the two companies a day in advance and reserve a taxi for a set time and place. The service is quite reliable; they will ask for your phone number and if you do not show at the set time, within five minutes they will phone you back.
