How to book a taxi in Comacchio
Updated: July 14, 2026 · Province of FE
To book a taxi in Comacchio, call the radio taxi at 0532 900900. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Comacchio does not have a single city-wide radio taxi switchboard with a public taxi rank in the historic centre: the service is mainly provided by a few NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) operators and private taxis to be booked by phone, together with the Ferrara radio taxi (Consorzio Taxisti Ferraresi, tel. 0532 900900, TaxiFe app), whose stated coverage concerns the provincial capital and neighbouring municipalities but is not explicitly confirmed for Comacchio and the Lidi. For the coastal strip of the Lidi di Comacchio, separated from the historic centre by several kilometres, it is instead advisable to contact operators active specifically in that area, such as the shuttle services available 24 hours a day. None of the main international ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi, BTaxi, InTaxi) is currently actually operating in the town, so calling directly remains the most reliable way to find a car. During the summer months, with the high season for the Lidi's beach tourism, demand for rides increases significantly, so it is advisable to book somewhat in advance.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Bologna – Guglielmo Marconi (BLQ) · ~95 km from the center
There is no fixed fare for the airport-Comacchio connection, given the distance (about 95 km, over an hour by car): it is better to book an NCC in advance and have the price confirmed at the time of booking. Alternatively, from the airport you can reach Ferrara station by train and continue with a local taxi for the last stretch to Comacchio or the Lidi.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre of Comacchio has a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) in operation along the canals, divided into two sectors, with electronic gates and cameras in via Sambertolo and in piazzetta Ugo Bassi. To enter, a permit issued by the Polizia Locale (tel. 0533 315380) is required, which may involve a fee for non-residents; authorised taxis/NCC vehicles may pass through for service purposes, otherwise it is best to arrange a meeting point with the driver just outside the gates.
Practical tips
- Book in advance on weekends and during the summer months: during the beach high season, demand for taxis at the Lidi di Comacchio rises sharply, and the available cars are few compared to the tourist flow.
- In the historic centre a ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) is in operation along the canals, with electronic gates in via Sambertolo and in piazzetta Ugo Bassi: if your NCC does not have authorisation, arrange a meeting point with the driver just outside the gates, for example near the Trepponti.
- The Lidi di Comacchio are nine seaside resorts spread along several kilometres of coastline: when booking, always specify the exact Lido (for example Porto Garibaldi, Lido degli Estensi or Lido delle Nazioni) to avoid longer waiting times than expected.
- For transfers to and from Bologna airport (about 95 km) there is no fixed fare: it is best to book an NCC in advance and ask for a quote by phone, or consider taking the train to Ferrara and a local taxi for the last stretch.
- If you are taking a boat excursion in the Valli di Comacchio, check the travel time to the embarkation point with the driver (for example the Stazione Foce), which is often outside the town centre and can only be reached via secondary roads.
