How to book a taxi in Crotone

Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of KR

To book a taxi in Crotone, call the radio taxi at 333 363 7394. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.

In Crotone there is no single citywide radio-taxi switchboard as in larger cities: the public service is run by various individual taxi drivers and licence-holding companies, each reachable by phone or WhatsApp. Taxis can be found at the main taxi ranks, such as Piazza Pitagora in the historic centre, or booked by calling one of the local operators directly, active 24 hours a day. Travellers arriving by air will find taxis outside the terminal exit at Sant'Anna Airport, about 15 km from the city centre along the SS106 Jonica. The main national ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi and similar) do not currently appear to be active in Crotone, so the most reliable method remains calling the taxi driver or trusted NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) company directly.

Taxi from the airport

Aeroporto di Crotone "Sant'Anna" (CRV) · ~15 km from the center

There is no fixed airport-to-centre fare published by either the Municipality or SACAL (the airport operator): taxis wait outside the terminal exit and the price is agreed using the meter or as a quoted fare before departure, for the roughly 15 km journey along the SS106 to the city centre.

Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)

The Municipality of Crotone applies a seasonal ZTL (limited traffic zone) on the city seafront (typically active from mid-June to mid-September, 20:00-02:00, with reduced hours on weekends during the rest of the year): if your taxi pickup or drop-off falls within that time window, check the updated hours on the Municipality's website and ask your driver about an alternative route. A ZTL in the historic centre is also under consideration, still in the public consultation phase.

Practical tips

For the historic centre with the Castello di Carlo V and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, ask to be dropped off at Piazza Pitagora or along Via Risorgimento: everything is reachable on foot from there.
If you land at Sant'Anna Airport, agree on the fare with the driver before setting off: there is no fixed airport-to-centre price published by the Municipality or SACAL for the roughly 15 km journey.
To visit Capo Colonna and the remains of the Tempio di Hera Lacinia, ask local taxi drivers for a round-trip quote including a stop, since it's an out-of-town route.
In summer, the ZTL on the city seafront is active in the evening (roughly mid-June to mid-September, 20:00-02:00): if your accommodation is in that area, ask your driver about an alternative route.
For trips to Le Castella and Isola di Capo Rizzuto (about 20 km), it's best to book an NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) with an agreed fare rather than relying solely on the meter.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a single radio-taxi number in Crotone?

No: unlike many Italian cities, Crotone doesn't have a single radio-taxi switchboard to call. You need to contact one of the authorised taxi drivers or companies directly, such as Taxi Crotone 26 (333 363 7394) or Euro Taxi Crotonese (320 911 2949).

Can you book a taxi with Uber in Crotone?

No. Uber does not offer rides with a driver in Crotone: the Uber pages relating to the city only cover car rental (Uber Rent), not passenger transport. Even the UberX pilot project launched in Calabria in late June 2026 doesn't yet include Crotone.

How much does a taxi cost from Sant'Anna Airport to the centre of Crotone?

There is no fixed fare published by the Municipality or by SACAL, the airport operator: the price is agreed using the meter or as a quote. It's a good idea to ask for a rough estimate by phone before the ride, for the roughly 15 km journey.

Do taxis in Crotone accept card payments?

Some operators, such as Taxi Crotone 26 and Ncc & Taxi Crotone, state on their websites that they accept card (POS) payments as well as cash, but it's best to confirm this when booking.

How do you get to Capo Colonna or Le Castella by taxi?

These are out-of-town routes not covered by the standard metered fare: it's best to phone a local operator and agree in advance on the fare, waiting time and any return trip.
