In Naples, as everywhere else in Italy, there are rules for how much one may charge for a cab ride and, as elsewhere in Italy, these rules are often not followed. In addition to the normal time- and distance-based rates, there are fixed prices to and from the airport and the Molo Beverello port.

Rules and regulations
In theory, when the customer gets in, cab drivers should turn on their taximeter (except for rides to and from the ports and Capodichino Airport, to name a few, where one can choose to pay a fixed price – see below), after which it increases gradually depending on the distance traveled or the driving time.
Personal Experience: A few years ago we wanted to go from the Naples train station to the Molo Beverello, which has a fixed price. The driver wanted to turn on the meter and when we pointed out to him that we knew there was a set fare we were kicked out of the cab without mercy.
