BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Gaeta
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of LT
To book a taxi in Gaeta, call the radio taxi at 329 848 3745. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Gaeta does not have a single radio-taxi dispatch with a centralized phone number like larger cities: the public service is provided by a limited number of holders of municipal taxi licenses, often also active as NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) operators, who are contacted by phone or via WhatsApp. Taxis can be found at the main stops in the town center, such as Piazza Traniello and Lungomare Caboto, as well as at the Formia-Gaeta railway station, a key hub for those arriving by train. During peak season (Easter, July-August, weekends with events linked to the NATO/US Navy base), demand rises sharply, so it's advisable to book in advance, especially to reach the beaches of Serapo and Arenauta or the medieval historic center of Sant'Erasmo. None of the main ride-hailing apps currently operates in Gaeta, so bookings are almost always made by phone, directly with the driver.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Napoli-Capodichino (NAP) · ~80 km from the center
There is no fixed municipal taxi fare for the connection to Capodichino Airport: since this is an out-of-town route of about 80 km, the cost is normally calculated by taximeter, or, more often with local operators, a flat rate is agreed upon at the time of the phone booking.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) of the historic center "Sant'Erasmo" is active every day from 19:00 to 05:00 (from April 1 to December 31, 2026); in July and September only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and days before public holidays from 21:30, while in August it is active every day from 21:30 to 05:00. The electronic checkpoints are located on Via Begani, Via Annunziata, Piazza G. Traniello, and Via L. M. Planco (source: municipal ordinance and the Comune di Gaeta website).
Practical tips
- Gaeta does not have a single radio-taxi dispatch: save several local operators' numbers in your phone, so you always have an alternative during periods of high demand.
- In summer, book in advance, especially in the evening and on weekends: Gaeta's dual nature, combining beach tourism with the NATO/US Navy base, causes taxi demand to spike.
- If you're staying in the historic center of Sant'Erasmo, check the ZTL hours (active in the evening, with extended hours on summer weekends and every day in August) before having a taxi come right to your door.
- To reach Serapo and Arenauta during peak season, also consider the free municipal shuttle connecting the town center to the beaches as an alternative or complement to a taxi.
- For Napoli Capodichino Airport (about 80 km) or for Roma, always agree on the price in advance: since these are out-of-town routes, there is no fixed municipal fare.
