How to book a taxi in Lignano Sabbiadoro
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of UD
To book a taxi in Lignano Sabbiadoro, call the radio taxi at 338 202 1541. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Lignano Sabbiadoro there isn't a single radio-taxi consortium with a 24-hour switchboard: the town, divided into the three areas of Sabbiadoro centro, Pineta and Riviera, is served by several independent operators who work around the clock, especially during the summer months when the population multiplies compared to the roughly 7,000 permanent residents. The simplest way to find a taxi is to call or message directly on WhatsApp one of the local operators, such as Taxi Rino Lignano or Taxi Lignano, or to head to the taxi rank in Piazza Fontana, in the heart of Sabbiadoro. In high season (July-August) and on weekends with events, demand explodes: booking in advance, especially for transfers to and from Trieste, Venezia and Treviso airports, is the safest choice. The main national ride-hailing apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi) are not currently active in Lignano, so the phone remains the main tool for booking a ride.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Trieste – Friuli Venezia Giulia (Ronchi dei Legionari) (TRS) · ~65 km from the center
Taxi fare: Trieste Airport: 120€ (1-4 people) / 130€ (5-8 people) with Taxi Rino Lignano, fixed fare
The fixed fare indicated above is the one published by Taxi Rino Lignano; other local operators (e.g. Taxi Lignano) apply similar fares, but it's always advisable to confirm the price by phone when booking, especially in high season. For Venezia Marco Polo and Treviso airports, the fixed fare rises to 160€ (1-4 pax).
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The Municipality of Lignano Sabbiadoro regulates a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) for which a transit permit is required, managed by the Mobility and Public Land Office (comune.lignano-sabbiadoro.ud.it/argomenti/ztl). Details on streets, hours and activation periods are not published in summarized form online: for up-to-date hours and access points, it's best to contact the municipal office (0431 409211) before driving your own car downtown or into Lignano Pineta during high season; authorized taxis, however, have no trouble accessing passenger loading/unloading zones.
Practical tips
- Lignano is divided into three zones that are quite far apart from one another (Sabbiadoro centro, Pineta and Riviera): when you book a taxi, always specify the exact street/house number or the hotel name, because a ride between the three areas can take 10-15 minutes.
- In high season (July-August) and on weekends with events, demand for taxis outstrips supply: book a few hours in advance, especially for late-night returns from nightlife spots or early morning airport departures.
- For airport transfers (Trieste, Venezia, Treviso), always ask for the fixed fare when booking: local operators publish it on their websites, but it can vary with night or holiday surcharges.
- If you're staying in Bibione, remember that it's separated from Lignano by the mouth of the Tagliamento: in summer it's connected by a passenger ferry, but a taxi has to take the long way round via Latisana, so the road route is longer than it looks on the map.
- To visit Aquileia (a UNESCO site) or the outlet malls of Palmanova and Noventa di Piave, many local operators offer fixed round-trip fares: it's worth agreeing on them in advance rather than using the meter.
