Is Uber available in Italy?

Only in a limited way, and it isn't the cheap option you're used to. In Italy Uber mostly operates as Uber Black — licensed private drivers at premium prices — and it's available in Rome and Milan, patchy elsewhere. What Italians actually use are local taxi apps like FreeNow and itTaxi, which hail the same white taxis you see at the rank. Taxis are metered, generally honest, and you should call one or use a rank rather than hailing on the street, which mostly doesn't work. In small towns, your hotel calling a driver is the system.

This one changes. Last checked August 13, 2026 — confirm it close to your trip.
