BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Benevento
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of BN
To book a taxi in Benevento, call the radio taxi at 329 375 8960. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Taxi service in Benevento is quite small in scale: the Municipality froze new licenses for years, only issuing new ones in 2025, bringing the number of active taxis to just a handful compared with the maximum of 25 set by municipal regulations. The safest way to get around is to call a local operator directly or head to one of the city's taxi ranks, such as the one in front of the train station or on Corso Garibaldi/Piazza Vittoria Colonna. The major national ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi and similar) don't yet cover Benevento, so it's best to arrange your ride in advance, especially to reach Napoli airport or for evening trips. For tourists heading to the Arco di Traiano, the Teatro Romano or the Santa Sofia complex, much of the historic center is covered by a ZTL (limited traffic zone): taxis are still allowed to drop off or pick up passengers near the main checkpoints.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Internazionale di Napoli Capodichino (NAP) · ~90 km from the center
There is no fixed taxi fare for the Napoli airport-Benevento route: the airport's official page (Gesac) lists preset fares only for Città di Napoli, Molo Beverello, Mergellina, Pompei and Caserta, not for Benevento, which is about 90 km away (55-75 minutes). Agree on the price with the driver before setting off, or consider an NCC (licensed chauffeur) service with a fare fixed in advance; a cheaper alternative is the airport-Benevento bus run by local coach operators.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center (Duomo area, Corso Garibaldi, Rocca dei Rettori) is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) with 13 controlled access points (via Mario La Vipera, rampa Annunziata, Corso Garibaldi on the Duomo side and the Piazza IV Novembre side, via San Gaspare del Bufalo, via Carrozzieri, via Capitano Rampone, discesa Trescine, via De Nicastro, via III Settembre, via Porta Rettore, via Damaso, Piazza Dogana), with electronic enforcement currently being activated. Taxis are generally allowed for passenger pickup and drop-off; check with the Municipality of Benevento for exact hours.
Practical tips
- Benevento's taxi fleet is very small (only a few active licenses out of a municipal cap of 25): book ahead of time, especially in the evening or on weekends, so you're not left stranded.
- To visit the Arco di Traiano and the Teatro Romano, have the driver drop you off along Corso Garibaldi or viale Principe di Napoli: much of the historic center is a ZTL and partly pedestrianized.
- For the Lombard complex of Santa Sofia (a UNESCO site) and the adjoining Museo del Sannio, the taxi can stop conveniently in Piazza Matteotti, just steps from the entrance.
- If you want to visit the historic Fabbrica Strega and its liqueur museum, ask for a direct ride: it's just outside the old town center, along viale Atlantici.
- There's no fixed fare from Benevento to Napoli airport (unlike from Pompei or Caserta): agree on the price before setting off, or book an NCC with a fare fixed in advance.
Frequently asked questions
How do you book a taxi in Benevento?
The most reliable way is to call a local operator directly (for example, Servizio Taxi Benevento on 329 375 8960) or go to one of the city's taxi ranks, such as the one in front of the train station or at Piazza Vittoria Colonna/Corso Garibaldi. Benevento has a very small fleet (few active licenses), so in the evenings or on public holidays it's best to book somewhat in advance.
Can you book a taxi in Benevento with Uber or other apps?
No: at the moment Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi (for taxi booking), appTaxi, BTaxi and InTaxi are not active in Benevento, according to each service's official coverage pages. The only Wetaxi function available in the city is buying UnicoCampania public transport tickets, not booking a taxi. It's therefore best to rely on the phone or on the taxi ranks in the center.
How much does a taxi from Napoli airport to Benevento cost?
There's no fixed fare for this route: Capodichino airport applies preset prices only to Napoli city, Pompei and Caserta. For Benevento (about 90 km, over an hour's journey) the taxi runs on the meter or on an agreed fare: always ask the driver for a quote before setting off, or book an NCC with a fixed price.
Can taxis enter the ZTL in Benevento's historic center?
The historic center (Duomo area, Corso Garibaldi, Rocca dei Rettori) is a Limited Traffic Zone with 13 control points. As provided for by the Codice della Strada (Italian highway code), taxis are generally allowed to pass through to pick up and drop off passengers; for the narrow pedestrian areas near the Arco di Traiano or the Teatro Romano, it's still more practical to be dropped off on nearby streets and continue on foot.
Where are the taxi ranks located in the city?
The main reference points are the square in front of Benevento's train station and the Piazza Vittoria Colonna/Corso Garibaldi area, right in the center; from both, the Arco di Traiano, the Teatro Romano and the Santa Sofia complex are just a few minutes away.
