Taxis & Rideshare in Turin (2026) - Apps, Fares & Tips
Find regulated white taxis at ranks outside Porta Nuova station, Piazza Castello, and Turin Airport for reliable street hails or app dispatch.
Safety Tips
Look for the official white taxis with the 'TAXI' roof sign and the City of Turin coat of arms on the doors. Unlicensed cars rarely display both.
Turin taxis are metered, confirm 'tassametro acceso' when you board and avoid drivers who quote fixed fares unless you're at an airport rank.
Locals rely on Free Now and itTaxi for rideshare. These are the only apps that legally pair you with licensed Turin taxi drivers.
If you're alone at night, sit in the back seat and share your live trip link from Free Now or itTaxi with a friend, both apps offer this Turin-specific feature.
Common Scams to Avoid
Drivers at Porta Nuova and Porta Susa stations sometimes insist the meter is "broken" and quote a flat rate that is 2-3 times the normal fare. Insist on using the meter or walk to the official taxi rank where meter use is enforced.
Airport taxis from Caselle occasionally take the longer western ring-road route (via Corso Grosseto) instead of the shorter eastern tunnel, adding 10-15 minutes and extra distance; mention "viale Torino" or use a map app to follow the direct route.
Some drivers add a fixed "baggage supplement" for each small suitcase even when the official Turin tariff allows one free bag per passenger. Politely point to the official tariff sheet displayed in the cab or ask for the receipt to dispute the charge.
