The landing fee for Elba: what it means

The disembarkation fee came into effect for all Elba municipalities starting from July 2013.

Since 2020, the disembarkation fee has been set as follows: €1.50 for eight months of the year (those considered the off-season) and €5.00 for the Piombino - Elba routes (Portoferraio, Rio Marina, and Cavo), during the four months from May 25th to September 5th.

This amount will be included in the ferry, airplane, and cruise ship tickets.

The proceeds from the disembarkation fee will be used to fund interventions in tourism, cultural and environmental heritage, and local public services.

Exempt from payment are residents, native Elbans, commuters (with an employer's declaration and subscription), and student commuters (with certification from the school or university), children under the exemption age (0-2 years); official companions and members of sports teams participating in amateur championship competitions.

Disabled persons with certification of their condition and individuals who pay the municipal property tax (former IMU) are also exempt, along with members of their household, as long as they are up to date with payment of this tax.

Each municipality, upon request, will issue a certificate confirming the regular payment of the municipal tax for individuals who pay the municipal property tax, upon presentation of a certification from the municipality of residence attesting to the composition of the household or alternatively, self-certification.
