Thinking about catching an Uber in Milan? Hold onto your euros!

Milan was the pioneer city in Italy for Uber, hitting the streets before Rome, or Florence joined the ride. But guess what? It faced some serious roadblocks. Taxis weren't having it, and the courts weren't either, calling foul on the competition game.

So now, Uber can't offer services all over Italy. It's confined to UberBlack, the boujee version with swanky cars and pro drivers.

Paying for your Uber joyride is a digital affair – app and credit card only, no cash allowed. The cost is influenced by how far you go, how long it takes, & what car you choose. But, unlike taxis, you're in the know about the cost upfront.

Picture this: Milan Centrale to Malpensa Airport with Uber could dent your wallet anywhere between 150 and 300 euros, depending on your ride size. A taxi, though? An okay 80/100 euros for the same journey.
