8. Taxi in Naples
Taxi service is very popular in Naples, but keep in mind that taxis are not as convenient a way to get around crowded streets as buses. Taxis in Imilan are white. There are both municipal and private taxis. Getting into a taxi costs 3.50 euros on weekdays, 6.50 euros on Sundays and holidays. For every 48 meters, 0.05 euros are added, for each piece of luggage measuring more than 40x30x20 cm - 0.50 euros. In addition to the meter, in Naples there is a predetermined tariff for the main destinations (airport, center, port). In this case, when boarding, you will inform the driver of the required direction and add the words "tariffa predeterminista". The journey to the airport will cost you a maximum of 27 euros (depending on which part of the city you are coming from. For example, from the central train station this amount will be reduced to 18 euros).
Have a nice trip!
