BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Civitavecchia
Updated: July 14, 2026 · Province of RM
To book a taxi in Civitavecchia, call the radio taxi at 0766 26121. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Civitavecchia is Lazio's main cruise and ferry port for Sardegna, with a direct rail link to central Roma: this is why demand for taxis increases significantly on the days when cruise ships dock. The public taxi service can be booked by phone at the municipal number 0766 26121, while the main taxi ranks are located in front of the train station and in dedicated areas inside the port, near the passenger disembarkation gates. Rides within the city follow metered fares set by the City Council, but for the most common routes, such as station-port or station-centre, fixed predetermined fares apply, inclusive of all surcharges. For those arriving from or departing to Fiumicino airport there is a fixed fare set by Aeroporti di Roma, useful for planning costs without surprises. National ride-hailing apps, on the other hand, still have very limited coverage in Civitavecchia, so the traditional taxi remains the most reliable option.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Roma-Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) (FCO) · ~65 km from the center
Taxi fare: 130€ (fixed, all-inclusive fare, only for the direct Fiumicino-port link)
Fixed, all-inclusive fare set by Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) for the direct Fiumicino-Civitavecchia port route; there is, however, no predetermined fare for journeys between central Roma and Civitavecchia, where the meter applies with any extra-urban surcharges.
Practical tips
- The most convenient taxi rank for those arriving by train is right in front of Civitavecchia's train station, about 500 metres from the port; for those disembarking from a cruise ship, taxis instead wait in dedicated areas near the port gates, according to guidelines from the Capitaneria di Porto (Port Authority) and the Autorità di Sistema Portuale (Port System Authority).
- For the most common routes between station, centre and port it's always worth asking for the fixed fare set by the City Council (for example 12€ station-Largo della Pace, 16€ station-Porto Terminal 1/Traghetti, 20€ station-Porto Terminal Crociere): the driver is in any case required to issue a receipt with the agreed amount.
- From Fiumicino airport, the taxi ride to the port of Civitavecchia has a fixed, all-inclusive fare of 130€ set by Aeroporti di Roma: however, this only applies to the direct airport-port link, with no intermediate stops.
- On days when several cruise ships are in port at the same time, especially in high season, waiting times for a taxi can get considerably longer: it's worth booking in advance by calling 0766 26121 or through the dedicated local app.
- The major national ride-hailing apps (Free Now, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi, BTaxi, InTaxi) do not appear to be active in Civitavecchia: only Uber is present, but exclusively in the Uber Black version with a driver, not as a traditional taxi.
