Officially Set

The Palermo taxi rate was officially set on 1 janvier 2012. Taxi tariffs in Italy are officially set by cities or districts.

How the fare is made up under the Palermo taxi rate:

The Palermo taxi tariff sets clear rules for how taxi fares are calculated. When you take a taxi in Palermo, the cost of your ride depends on the time and day you travel. From Monday to Saturday, between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm, the day tariff applies. During these hours, your fare starts with a base charge of €3.81, which includes up to 1.50 kilometers of travel. After the first 1.50 kilometers, each additional kilometer is charged at €0.84.

If your ride takes place during the night—between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am, or at any time on Sundays—the night tariff applies. In these periods, the base fare is €5.72, which also includes the first 1.50 kilometers. Beyond this distance, you pay €0.84 per kilometer, just like during the day.

Waiting time is also considered in the Palermo taxi tariff. If the taxi is stationary or moving very slowly, a waiting time price of €16.90 per hour is charged in addition to the distance-based fare. This ensures drivers are compensated during traffic delays or stops.

For rides that go outside the city of Palermo, a different rate applies. The price per kilometer outside the city limits is €1.49. This rate is charged for every kilometer traveled beyond the borders of Palermo.
