Florence's official taxis are white and wait at official taxi ranks. Official taxi ranks are found near the station, on Piazza di Santa Maria Novella, Piazza di San Marco, Piazza delle Repubblica and the Via Pelicceria. Florence taxis are not a cheap way of getting around. You have to pay a surcharge for luggage that goes in the boot on Sundays and public holidays between 22.00 p.m. and 2.00 a.m. You also have to pay an additional surcharge to go to the airport. Apart from this, it's useful to know that when you order a taxi by telephone, the metre starts ticking immediately! It's cheapest to go to one of the taxi ranks.
