Is there Uber in Italy?

Uber is present in Italy, but the coverage is restricted to the cities of Bologna, Rome, Milan, Turin and Florence and their neighborhoods.
Uber is not available in most of Italy, so consider this when traveling in the south for example.

The only services you can find are Uber XL/Van, Uber Lux and Uber Black. So your rides will not be on the “cheap side” of Uber services.

It’s hard to give a complete answer to this, just consider that to drive customers around Italian cities you need to be registered as a taxi driver or a NCC driver. So Uber has no chance to enter the market in all the ways it did in other countries, since the market for “private” drivers is strictly regulated by the law.

No, Lyft has not entered the italian market yet, for the same reasons Uber is struggling to be as pervasive as in other countries.

If you can’t use public transportation like trains, you can use Taxis. You can call local companies or use a couple of apps: one is called itTaxi, the other one is called Free Now (formerly MyTaxi). They work much like the Uber app.

No, it’s not. If you ask any taxi driver he will probably tell you Uber is illegal and you may be facing a fine. This is not true.

As we said, not all the Uber options are available in our country, so please consider that taxi might be cheaper than the equivalent Uber ride in cities where Uber is available.
