BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Soverato
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of CZ
To book a taxi in Soverato, call the radio taxi at 347 418 8547. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Soverato, the "pearl of the Ionian Sea," a taxi is almost always called by phone: the town has no centralized radio-taxi service with a single number, but rather a few local operators who answer directly, such as Taxi Castagna Vito at 347 418 8547, also reachable via WhatsApp. This is the most practical solution for getting to the train station, for a transfer from Lamezia Terme airport, or for a ride along the lungomare on summer evenings. In the high season, between July and August, tourist demand along the lungomare and near the beaches grows enormously, so booking somewhat in advance — especially on Ferragosto weekends — helps avoid long waits. For airport transfers it's always best to agree on the price before setting off, since this is an out-of-town route not covered by the taxi meter. At the moment none of the main ride-hailing apps operate in Soverato: Uber, for example, has only reached Calabria in Catanzaro and at Lamezia Terme airport, but not yet on the Ionian coast of the Catanzaro area.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Internazionale di Lamezia Terme "Sant'Eufemia" (SUF) · ~55 km from the center
Taxi fare: About 90€ fixed fare (Radio Taxi Lamezia, 0-4 passengers, for bookings made within 24 hours before the ride)
The 90€ fare is the one published by the Radio Taxi Lamezia cooperative (an operator based in Lamezia Terme, not in Soverato) for the airport/station Lamezia Terme - Soverato route. There is, however, no "official" fixed fare published by operators based in Soverato: some private transfer/NCC services covering the same route quote figures in the range of 80-100€, so it's always best to ask for and confirm the price at the time of booking, since this is an out-of-town route not covered by the city taxi meter.
Practical tips
- Outside the summer months the number of taxis actually on the road in Soverato drops considerably: if you need a ride early in the morning or after dinner, it's better to book the day before.
- In high season (July-August, especially on Ferragosto weekends) demand along the lungomare explodes: booking in advance avoids long waits.
- For transfers to/from Lamezia Terme airport, agree on or ask for the fixed fare before getting in, since it's an out-of-town route not covered by the meter.
- Since there's no official list of taxi ranks on the Comune's website, it's best to save a local operator's number in your phone (e.g. 347 418 8547) rather than hoping to find one free on the street.
- During events or markets along Corso Umberto I and on the lungomare, traffic slows down: it's better to allow a few extra minutes to reach the pickup point.

Radio Taxi Lamezia publishes a fixed fare of about 90€ for 0-4 passengers (valid for bookings made within the previous 24 hours). Other private operators covering the same route quote similar figures, between 80€ and 100€: it's always best to confirm the price at the time of booking.
Is there Uber in Soverato?
Not yet. UberX has been active since June 30, 2026 only in Catanzaro and at Lamezia Terme airport, with Cosenza arriving in mid-July and Reggio Calabria in mid-August 2026. Soverato, despite being close to Catanzaro, is not currently among the cities covered.
How do you call a taxi in Soverato?
The most reliable way is to phone a local operator directly, for example Taxi Castagna Vito at 347 418 8547, or contact them via WhatsApp on the same number.
Is it hard to find a taxi in Soverato in summer?
Yes, especially in July and August and on Ferragosto weekends, when the tourist influx along the lungomare drives demand way up. During these periods it's advisable to book somewhat in advance, especially for evening rides or to reach the airport early in the morning.
Is there a fixed taxi rank in the center of Soverato?
The official website of the Comune di Soverato does not publish a list of taxi ranks or a page dedicated to the service; the safest way to get a car is therefore to phone the operator directly rather than looking for a taxi parked on the street.
