BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Teramo
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of TE
To book a taxi in Teramo, call the radio taxi at 328 892 4041. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Teramo, taxi service is not run by a single city cooperative with a radio-taxi dispatch centre, as is the case in larger cities: taxis are operated by individual licence holders who wait at the main stands in the centre, particularly Piazza Garibaldi and Piazzale San Francesco, as well as near the railway station. The simplest way to get around therefore remains calling a licensed driver directly or heading to one of the historic taxi ranks. The main national ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi and other connected networks) do not currently appear to be active within the municipal area, unlike what happened in Pescara with Uber Black starting in March 2025. In the historic centre, which partly falls within a restricted traffic zone (ZTL), authorised taxis may still pass through to pick up or drop off passengers.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Internazionale d'Abruzzo (Pescara) (PSR) · ~65 km from the center
There is no fixed municipal fare for the airport-Teramo route (about 65 km, roughly 50-60 minutes' drive). It's advisable to ask the radio-taxi dispatch for an estimate or agree on the price before departure, or to book a private NCC/transfer service between Pescara and Teramo in advance.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre of Teramo has a restricted traffic zone (ZTL) in force 24/7 along corso San Giorgio (from Piazza Martiri della Libertà to via Cerulli Irelli), Piazza Martiri della Libertà and the Piazza Sant'Anna area; only on via Mario Capuani does the ZTL apply from 00:00 to 17:00 and from 21:00 to 24:00. Authorised taxis may pass through for passenger service; information and permits are available from the Polizia Locale (Piazzale San Francesco).
Practical tips
- On weekends and during events in the centre (Duomo, Piazza Martiri della Libertà), it's a good idea to book your ride somewhat in advance, since there are fewer taxis available in the city compared to larger provincial capitals.
- The historic centre around corso San Giorgio and Piazza Sant'Anna is within a restricted traffic zone (ZTL) active 24/7: authorised taxis can still enter to pick up or drop off passengers.
- To reach the Gran Sasso and Campo Imperatore, the starting point for hikes and the cable car, always agree on the fare with the driver before setting off: it's an out-of-town route not covered by city rates.
- For the Adriatic coast (Roseto degli Abruzzi, Giulianova), a taxi is a convenient alternative to TUA buses during the summer months, especially outside bus schedule times.
- If you're arriving from Pescara's Abruzzo Airport, also consider booking an NCC transfer online for the roughly 65 km to Teramo, since there is no fixed taxi fare for this route.
Frequently asked questions
How do you call a taxi in Teramo?
Teramo does not have a single citywide radio-taxi dispatch centre like larger cities: the most reliable way is to call drivers on duty directly (for example at the Piazza Garibaldi taxi rank) or go to one of the main taxi stands in the centre or at the railway station. National ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi and similar) do not currently appear to be operating within the municipal area.
Does Uber work in Teramo?
No, there is no evidence it is operating there: the dedicated Teramo page on the Uber website does not exist (404 error), and the Uber Black service, which arrived in Abruzzo in Pescara in March 2025, does not appear to have been extended to Teramo.
How much does a taxi from Pescara airport to Teramo cost?
There is no published fixed fare for this roughly 65 km out-of-town route: the cost is calculated by the meter based on distance and travel time. It's advisable to ask for an estimate by phone before setting off, or to consider a transfer/NCC service arranged in advance.
Where are the taxi ranks in the centre of Teramo?
The main reference points for finding a taxi are Piazza Garibaldi, Piazzale San Francesco (near the Comune, i.e. the town hall) and the area around Teramo railway station.
Can you take a taxi to the Gran Sasso or to the coast from Teramo?
Yes, local taxi drivers also offer out-of-town rides to destinations such as Campo Imperatore and the Gran Sasso, or to the coastal towns of Roseto degli Abruzzi and Giulianova: it's advisable to agree on the fare with the driver before departure, as these routes are outside the urban meter rate.
