How to book a taxi in Cesenatico
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of FC
To book a taxi in Cesenatico, call the radio taxi at 0547 81365. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Cesenatico, the simplest way to find a taxi is to call the local radio taxi services directly, such as the Taxi Cesenatico group (G.A.R.T. cooperative) or Franco Viroli Taxi, both operating 24 hours a day, all year round. The main taxi rank is located in piazza Ugo Bassi, right next to the railway station and the entrance to the famous Porto Canale, a project to which Leonardo da Vinci himself contributed with a sketch that is still preserved today. The main national ride-hailing apps (Uber, Free Now, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi) do not currently appear to operate in the town, unlike nearby Rimini: it's therefore best to book by phone, especially during the summer months, when tourist demand on the Riviera Romagnola is very high. For those arriving from Rimini airport or wishing to reach the Museo della Marineria, local taxi drivers also offer shuttle and transfer services by reservation.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Federico Fellini di Rimini e San Marino (RMI) · ~29 km from the center
There is no fixed, agreed fare for the Cesenatico-Rimini airport route: the cost depends on the taximeter (around 29 km, 25-30 minutes). It's best to call the local radio taxi service and ask for an estimate before setting off.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Cesenatico's historic centre has a permanent ZTL (restricted traffic zone, or 'zona rossa') all year round, with electronic gates that have been active 24/7 since 2021; access is reserved for residents, authorised vehicles and people with disabilities. In summer, temporary evening ZTLs also come into effect on viale Carducci and viale delle Nazioni, where taxis carrying tourists to accommodation facilities are nonetheless allowed in.
Practical tips
- The main taxi rank is located in piazza Ugo Bassi, right next to the railway station and the entrance to the Porto Canale: it's the most convenient spot to find a free taxi in the town centre.
- In high season (July and August) demand for taxis grows enormously, especially at weekends: booking by phone a little in advance avoids long waits, particularly in the evenings near the Porto Canale and the Museo della Marineria.
- Some central streets (viale Carducci, viale delle Nazioni) have a summer evening ZTL: taxis can still enter to take you to your hotel, but it's a good idea to mention this to the dispatcher when booking.
- For transfers from Rimini airport (around 29 km, 25-30 minutes by car) there is no fixed, agreed fare for Cesenatico: always ask for a cost estimate when you book.
- Not all local taxis are equipped for card or Satispay payments: if you're not paying in cash, check with the dispatcher which payment methods the car being sent to you accepts.
