About Lost Property in Rome Taxis

Taxis in Rome are regulated by Roma Capitale, the city administration. Official white taxis operating in Rome are required to report found items to the municipal lost property office, the Reparto Oggetti Rinvenuti, which is part of the city’s administrative structure. This central office handles lost items from taxis as well as other municipal services and city-related losses.

The Reparto Oggetti Rinvenuti is located at Via Prospero Alpino 65 in Rome. This is the primary contact point if you have left something in a licensed Rome taxi and the driver has not been able to return it to you directly. For independent taxi companies or rideshare services, the process may differ.

What Should You Do If You’ve Lost Something in a Rome Taxi ?

If you realise you have left an item in a taxi, the first step is to try to contact the driver directly if you have a receipt with the taxi number or booking reference. If direct contact is not possible, report the loss to the Reparto Oggetti Rinvenuti as soon as you can. The longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to match your report with a specific found item.

Keep any receipt or documentation from your taxi ride, including the taxi number or licence plate if noted. This information helps the office trace the specific vehicle and driver involved.

How to Report a Lost Item in a Rome Taxi

Contact or visit the Reparto Oggetti Rinvenuti at Via Prospero Alpino 65 during opening hours. Provide the date, time, and route of your taxi journey, along with the taxi number if available. Describe the item clearly including its appearance, contents, and any identifying features. Leave your contact details for follow-up.

You can also use the lost item report form on our platform to file a lost item report, which our tema will then transfer to the appropriate lost property office(s) for you.
