When it comes to choosing a means of transportation, you often have to choose between a traditional taxi and a Rental with Driver (NCC) service. While both options offer reliable transportation from point A to point B, there are some key differences between the two services that may impact your decision. In this article, we will explore the differences between Taxis and NCCs and discuss why you may consider NCCs as the best choice for your transportation needs.

Reservation: While taxis can be picked up on the street or booked at the last minute, NCCs require advance reservations. This means you are guaranteed to have a vehicle available when you need it.

This is not to be overlooked, as finding a taxi in Milan or an Uber is not always easy, especially during major events in the city (Fashion Week, Monza Grand Prix, concerts, fairs and more). On these occasions, having a car already booked is a great advantage.

Fares: Taxi fares can vary based on factors such as distance travelled, traffic and time of day. With the Transfer service, fares are set in advance, offering transparency and avoiding unpleasant surprises at the end of the trip. Before confirming the booking, you will know the exact price of the service (also useful for calculating your budget in advance).

This point also applies to Uber, as the price is visible on the app before confirming the ride.

Quality of service: NCC drivers are professionals who offer a personalized and high-quality service. They are drivers who have obtained a passenger’s transport license and a regional exam on transport regulations and conduct. The drivers’ clothing is formal and corresponds to the car driven.

Vehicles: Another aspect to consider is the level of comfort and the class of the vehicles offered. Taxi vehicles are generally available in economy and standard versions, while the NCC service offers business and luxury class cars. This means that, by opting for the Rental with Driver, you can enjoy a superior level of comfort and travel in style aboard representative cars.

Same rule applies to vehicles used by Uber, as Italian law requires that Uber drivers are also NCC (this means that only a car with a Rental With Driver license can collaborate with Uber).

Appearance: Another visible distinction between taxis and NCC is the aesthetic appearance of the vehicles. While taxis are recognizable by their white color and the presence of advertising on the bodywork, NCC cars are generally black and only have the municipal emblem near the license plate. This gives the Transfer service a touch of elegance and professionalism that can make the difference for those looking for a more refined travel experience.

Territorial limits: Taxis are generally authorized to operate only in certain areas (typically the municipality to which they belong) and may be subject to distance limits, while NCC does not have such restrictions. With the Rental with Driver service you can go wherever you want, without worrying about distance and municipal, regional or state limits (unlike a taxi, a rented car with a driver can also leave Italy and take you to another country).

Conclusion: Why Choose NCC

Considering these differences, it is clear why more and more people are opting for the NCC service over traditional taxis, especially in Milan. With the Rental with Driver, you have the freedom to move wherever you want, you can travel in comfort and style aboard representative cars, and enjoy a more exclusive travel experience.

In addition to these factors, finding a taxi in Milan has become increasingly complex, due to the increase in demand and the lack of increase in taxis in the city.

So, if you are looking for a transport service that offers flexibility, comfort, style and safety, NCC could be the best choice for you.
