TAXI WITHOUT A TAXI LICENSE. TAXI SCAMS

Taxis are not difficult to find, but how to recognise N.C.C. (Noleggio con conducente – Car rental with driver). Close to  the car number on the back, usually on the right side of the number, there is an icon with the name of the town hall and province where the License was issued. The shape of the icons may vary, as every province is different, but the icon is mandatory !!! Also inside the car there should be a License and all relevant documents. The vehicle data sheet states that the car is designed and equipped to carry passengers. It has to be written “Noleggio da rimessa con conducente”. The number of the car must correspond to the number in the License, since the License in Italy is issued for each car, and not for the transport company! Also the authorised vehicles have obligatory special insurance, passengers are therefore fully insured !!! The service is considered a level above and therefore cars are not painted like a taxi. The driver must have special driving license. A special rectangular document in pink. Name and surname in it must be completely identical to normal driving license. A person with ordinary car license does not have permission to drive an authorised vehicle, since he has not undergone special training and has no right to transport passengers!
