How to book a taxi in Piacenza

Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of PC

To book a taxi in Piacenza, call the radio taxi at 0523 591919 or use the InTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.

In Piacenza, the simplest way to find a taxi is to call the city's radio taxi service, active every day of the year: the daytime number 0523 591919 covers the hours from 5:00 to 1:00, while at night, from 1:00 to 5:00, the number to call is 348 448 5155. Alternatively, taxis can be found at the city's taxi ranks, the main one being in Piazzale Marconi, right in front of the railway station on the historic Milano-Bologna line. For those who prefer to book via smartphone, Piacenza's radio taxi service has chosen the InTaxi app to manage rides and payments, while Uber is only present with the Uber Black service (premium NCC/chauffeur service), not with city taxis. In the historic center, around Piazza Cavalli and Palazzo Farnese, there is a ZTL (restricted traffic zone): it is therefore convenient to be driven directly to your destination by taxi, which can access the zone with the special pass issued by the Comune.

Taxi from the airport

Aeroporto di Milano Linate (LIN) · ~65 km from the center

Piacenza does not have its own airport: the most convenient airport for national/international connections is Milano Linate (about 65 km, around 45-50 minutes by car), while Aeroporto di Parma "Giuseppe Verdi" is slightly further by road (about 65-68 km) and offers a much more limited range of flights. There does not appear to be a fixed municipal fare for airport-to-city transfers: it's best to agree on the price when booking with the city's radio taxi, or consider Uber Black for Linate or Malpensa.

Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)

The historic center of Piacenza (the area around Piazza Cavalli, via XX Settembre, via Sopramuro) is regulated by a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) and an Urban Pedestrian Area (APU). Taxis can obtain a free access pass from the Comune: either a continuous pass (valid for 5 years) for regular use, or an occasional pass, valid only for the day of use.

Practical tips

The main taxi rank is in Piazzale Marconi, in front of Piacenza's railway station, a key hub on the Milano-Bologna line: taxis can be found here at almost any hour of the day.
In the historic center, around Piazza Cavalli (with its famous equestrian statues) and Palazzo Farnese, private traffic is restricted by the ZTL: it's best to be driven directly by taxi, which can access the zone with the special pass issued by the Comune.
Women traveling alone between 22:00 and 6:00 can take advantage of the "Taxi Rosa" discount, equal to 10% off the metered fare.
For excursions to Val di Nure or Val Trebbia (Bobbio, Grazzano Visconti, Castell'Arquato), book your taxi well in advance by calling the radio taxi, as city taxis rarely wait outside the urban center.
Since Piacenza has no airport, for transfers to/from Milano Linate or Malpensa it's best to ask the radio taxi for a quote or consider Uber Black, available in the city.
