How to book a taxi in Tarvisio
Updated: July 14, 2026 · Province of UD
Tarvisio doesn't have a dedicated radio taxi: head to a taxi rank (station, main squares) or book a private transfer.
Tarvisio, Italy's northeasternmost municipality, nestled between the Alpi Giulie and the Caravanche, doesn't have a genuine radio-taxi dispatch centre with a single number like the larger cities: the service is provided by a handful of drivers holding a municipal licence, so it's always worth booking your ride by phone well in advance rather than hoping to flag one down on the street. The simplest way to get around remains asking at the reception of your hotel or mountain hut, or contacting the Tarvisio Infopoint desk run by PromoTurismoFVG on via Roma, which knows the up-to-date contacts of local drivers. Alternatively, for transfers to and from Klagenfurt, Lubiana or Trieste airports, several chauffeur-driven hire car (NCC) companies operate with a fare agreed in advance. During the ski season and on high-season summer weekends, demand grows well beyond local car availability, so booking a few hours ahead - if not the evening before - really makes a difference.
Apps to call a taxi in Tarvisio
| Uber — Uber Black and Uber Van (via NCC) have genuinely been active since 2024 in Udine, Trieste and Monfalcone, with Uber Taxi added in Trieste and Monfalcone thanks to an agreement with local cooperatives; however, this coverage doesn't extend to Tarvisio, a municipality of about 3,800 residents almost 100 km from Udine, which doesn't appear among the cities listed on Uber's official website for Friuli-Venezia Giulia. | Not available |
| FreeNow — FreeNow operates in Italy only in a handful of major cities (Roma, Milano, Torino, Napoli, Palermo, Catania, Cagliari): Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Tarvisio included, is not within the service's coverage. | Not available |
| itTaxi — The official list of cities served by itTaxi includes Trieste and Monfalcone in the region, but not Udine or Tarvisio: the app therefore doesn't appear to be operational in town. | Not available |

Taxi from the airport
Klagenfurt Airport (Wörthersee) (KLU) · ~72 km from the center
There's no fixed-fare ride from Klagenfurt airport: since it's an Austrian airport about 72 km away, for a cross-border transfer it's best to book an NCC (chauffeur-driven hire car) service in advance and agree the price, or to rent a car locally. The airports of Lubiana in Slovenia (about 86 km) and Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari (about 131-134 km according to the Consorzio Tarvisiano) are also used by those flying in to reach Tarvisio.
Practical tips
- In Tarvisio there is no single radio-taxi dispatch centre like in the big cities: the service is provided by a handful of drivers with a municipal licence, so it's always worth calling ahead to book your ride rather than expecting to find one free on the street.
- During the ski season (December-March, with peaks at Christmas, New Year and Carnival) and on high-season summer weekends, demand for taxis easily outstrips local supply: anyone needing to reach the Tarvisio-Priuso ski lifts or get back to their hotel after dinner would do well to book the evening before.
- To get up to the Santuario del Monte Lussari, the cable car departs from Camporosso in Valcanale: a taxi or an NCC can be useful for the transfer from the centre of Tarvisio to the valley station of the cable car.
- Many hotels and mountain huts in the area organise private transfers for their guests: asking at reception is often still the quickest way to get a reliable ride, especially in the low season when fewer drivers are on duty.
- For connections from Klagenfurt, Lubiana or Trieste airports, it's best to rely on a chauffeur-driven hire car (NCC) service with the fare agreed in advance, since there are no local taxis with a fixed rate set up for long cross-border trips.

Are there taxis in Tarvisio?
Yes, but the service isn't run by a single radio-taxi dispatch centre: a few drivers holding a municipal licence operate in town, and it's advisable to book by phone well in advance. Alternatively, the reception at hotels and mountain huts or the Tarvisio tourist Infopoint (via Roma 14, tel. 0428 2135) can provide an up-to-date contact.
Does Uber work in Tarvisio?
No. Uber Black and Uber Van have genuinely been active in Udine, Trieste and Monfalcone since 2024, but this coverage doesn't extend to Tarvisio: the municipality doesn't appear on Uber's official list of cities served in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
What is the airport closest to Tarvisio?
