How it works
Touts operating outside the arrivals hall at Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA) pose as taxi drivers and offer rides to central Pisa or Piazza dei Miracoli. A legitimate licensed taxi from PSA to Piazza dei Miracoli costs approximately €10–15 on the fixed municipal tariff — the airport is just 3 km from the city center. Unlicensed operators in the arrivals area demand €30–50 for the same journey and often refuse to show a meter. Some operate unmarked vehicles with no insurance.
