BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Frascati
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of RM
To book a taxi in Frascati, call the radio taxi at 06 91522 or use the itTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Getting around Frascati is easiest by calling the local radiotaxi or booking through an app, since in the town centre you won't always find taxis waiting at a stand the way you would in bigger cities. The reference service for the whole Castelli Romani area, Frascati included, is Radio Taxi Castelli Romani, available 24 hours a day, also via the itTaxi app and WhatsApp at 06 91522. Alternatively, you can request Uber Black, available as a premium option even though the app doesn't offer the standard taxi service in Frascati. For those arriving via Roma's airports, Ciampino is the closest (about 8 km) while Fiumicino is around forty kilometres away; since both are destinations outside the Comune di Roma, the fare is calculated on the meter rather than at a fixed rate. A taxi or an NCC (chauffeur-driven hire car) is also the most convenient way to reach the Frascati DOC wineries scattered across the countryside around the historic centre, often beyond the reach of public transport routes.

Taxi from the airport
Roma Ciampino (Aeroporto G.B. Pastine) (CIA) · ~8 km from the center
Frascati lies outside the Comune di Roma and the Grande Raccordo Anulare, so the fixed fares published by ADR (e.g. 55€ Fiumicino-historic centre within the Mura Aureliane) don't apply: the fare is run on the meter with an extra-urban surcharge added. ADR's official pages do however state a minimum fare of 35€ for rides to/from Fiumicino and 25€ to/from Ciampino when there is no predetermined fare. It's worth asking the radiotaxi for an estimate when booking, or agreeing a fixed price in advance with a local NCC.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre of Frascati, within the ring of the old town walls, is a Zona a Traffico Limitato (Limited Traffic Zone, ZTL) with electronic gates on Corso Italia, Via A. Diaz (at the junction with Via V. del Grande) and Piazza del Mercato (at the junction with Via del Castello). The municipal parking and ZTL regulation allows taxis and NCC vehicles free access solely for picking up and dropping off passengers; the hours during which the restriction is active are set by specific ordinances, generally in the evenings and during periods of higher tourist traffic. For permits and information: Polizia Locale di Frascati, tel. 06 9416491.
Practical tips
- To reach the Frascati DOC wineries outside the historic centre (many along Via Tuscolana or towards Monte Porzio Catone), it's best to arrange a route with stops and waiting time with the radiotaxi or an NCC, agreeing the hourly rate before setting off.
- If you arrive by train from Roma Termini (FL line, about 30 minutes), Frascati's station is just steps from the centre; for nearby towns such as Grottaferrata, Marino or Rocca di Papa, a taxi is often more practical than the local buses, which run less frequently at weekends.
- The historic centre is a ZTL with electronic gates on Corso Italia, Via A. Diaz and Piazza del Mercato: taxis and NCC vehicles can still pass through freely, but only to pick up or drop off passengers.
- For Ciampino airport, which is very close by, always ask for an indicative price over the phone before getting in: there's no fixed municipal fare as there is for Roma, so the ride runs on the meter.
- In peak tourist and wine-and-food season (spring weekends, the Sagra dell'Uva in September), book your taxi in advance, especially for the evening return trip from wineries or restaurants outside the centre.
