BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Tivoli
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of RM
To book a taxi in Tivoli, call the radio taxi at 371 197 5009. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Tivoli doesn't have a large radio-taxi dispatch centre with metered fares like Roma: the most practical way to get around is to call one of the local drivers directly, who work as NCC (chauffeur-driven hire car) at a rate agreed when you book, or to have the hotel or the Tourist Information Point arrange the ride for you. Much of the historic centre's streets around Villa d'Este and the Duomo fall within the ZTL, so cars without a permit must stop at the electronic gates or use the car parks outside the walls. For Villa Adriana, which is about 6 km from the centre and has no cars waiting at the entrance, it's best to book the return trip in advance too. Travellers arriving by the FL2 line train from Roma Tiburtina can also find an NCC car near Tivoli station, about 1.5 km from the historic centre. The nearest airport is Ciampino (about 37 km away); Roma's fixed fares don't apply here, so the price must always be agreed by phone before setting off.

Apps to call a taxi in Tivoli
| Uber — UberX/standard taxi is not available in Tivoli: the app only offers Uber Black (a premium NCC car, bookable 24/7 at a fare agreed in the app), as stated on Uber's own city page ("with the Uber app you can't request a taxi in the city of Tivoli, you can choose an Uber Black ride"). | Available |
| FreeNow — The service is concentrated in Roma and other major Italian cities; there's no evidence of dedicated operators or coverage for Tivoli on FreeNow's official website. | Not available |

Taxi from the airport
Roma Ciampino (G.B. Pastine) (CIA) · ~37 km from the center
The official fixed fares set by Roma Capitale/ADR for Fiumicino and Ciampino (e.g. the flat-rate rides to the Mura Aureliane) only apply to trips starting or ending within the Comune di Roma: they don't apply to connections with Tivoli, which is a separate comune about 30-40 km away. For a Tivoli-airport transfer, it's therefore best to call a local NCC driver in advance and get the fixed price confirmed before getting in, or to book through your hotel.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Tivoli's medieval historic centre has three ZTLs (limited traffic zones) with 5 electronic gates. ZTL 1 "Centro Storico Medioevale" bans access to unauthorised vehicles from 1 Nov to 31 Mar: Mon-Sat 7:00-14:00 and 17:00-23:00, holidays 14:00-23:00; from 1 Apr to 31 Oct: Mon-Sat 7:00-14:00 and 17:00-2:00, holidays 14:00-2:00 (loading/unloading 8:30-12:00 and 15:30-17:00). ZTL 2 is active at all times, ZTL 3 from 7:00 to 20:00. Info and permits: Polizia Municipale di Tivoli, tel. 0774 453501 / 0774 335095.
Practical tips
- Tivoli has no citywide metered radio-taxi service: the drivers you can reach operate as NCC at a fixed price agreed by phone, so always ask for the cost before setting off.
- The historic centre around Villa d'Este is largely a ZTL (active at different times in winter and summer, according to the Comune di Tivoli): anyone arriving by private car must leave it in the car parks outside the electronic gates.
- Villa Adriana is about 6 km from the centre and has no cars waiting at the entrance: book your return ride in advance too, especially during the middle of the day when the site is busiest.
- Tivoli's FS railway station (FL2 Roma Tiburtina-Tivoli line) is about 1.5 km from the historic centre: you can reach it on foot, by CAT city bus, or with a short NCC ride.
- For Villa Gregoriana, whose entrance is near Largo Sant'Angelo, a short car ride from the centre avoids the historic centre's steep slopes on foot, which is useful for those with mobility difficulties.
Frequently asked questions
Are there metered taxis in Tivoli like in Roma?
There's no citywide radio-taxi dispatch centre organised as a cooperative with metered fares. The operators you can reach (e.g. Taxi Tivoli/Roma Taxi Rental and Marco Rienzi Autonoleggio) work as NCC, meaning chauffeur-driven cars bookable only by phone, at a fixed price agreed before the ride.
How much does a taxi/NCC from Tivoli to Fiumicino or Ciampino airport cost?
There's no official fixed fare for these connections, because Roma Capitale's flat-rate fares only apply within the Comune di Roma. Ciampino is the nearest (about 37 km), Fiumicino is further away: it's always best to ask for and get the price confirmed by phone before setting off.
Are there taxis waiting at Villa Adriana or Villa d'Este?
At Villa Adriana there are no cars parked waiting at the entrance: for the return trip you need to book in advance by calling a local NCC. In the historic centre, near Villa d'Este, it's easier to catch a car, but even there the service is almost always by phone booking.
How do you get from Tivoli's railway station (FL2 line) to the historic centre?
The station is about 1.5 km from the centre and from Villa d'Este: it can be reached on foot, by CAT city buses (Cooperativa Autoservizi Tiburtini), or with a short NCC car ride.
Can I book a car in Tivoli with apps like Uber?
Yes, but only as Uber Black (a premium chauffeur-driven car): the app doesn't offer the standard UberX taxi service in the city. Other apps common in Roma, such as itTaxi, FreeNow and Wetaxi, don't appear to cover Tivoli.
