Taxi

For the local taxi service, please dial +39 0818888 or ask to the Conference assistants at the Registration desk. Instead of the taxi metered fare, passengers may want to opt for the predetermined/fixed rate tariff (recommended) and must advise the driver in advance on entering the cab. Refer to the Conference Center zone as “Via Partenope - Via Caracciolo”. Users can request the receipt of the payment, which has no taxable value. Taxi drivers are not allowed to release receipts different from those authorized by the City Council. The receipt is mandatory for fixed tariff, in this case the receipt must be released before the ride. It should be useful to remember the taxi ID (4 numbers) displayed on/in the car in order to more easily claim for any lost item. Tariffs and other useful information are available at www.comune.napoli.it (see /Aree tematiche /Trasporti e mobilità/Trasporto pubblico non di linea/Taxi/Tariffe Taxi and switch to English language).
