BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Viterbo
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of VT
To book a taxi in Viterbo, call the radio taxi at 0761 1876 or use the InTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Viterbo, the simplest way to get a taxi is to call Radio Taxi Viterbo at 0761 1876, available 24 hours a day and also reachable via app or online booking. Alternatively, you can go directly to the city taxi ranks at Piazzale Gramsci (Porta Fiorentina side) and Piazza del Plebiscito, or to the taxi stops at the two railway stations, Porta Romana and Porta Fiorentina. Fares are regulated by the municipal tariff approved by the Comune di Viterbo, which governs the public taxi-rank service. Since major ride-hailing services such as Uber or FreeNow are not active in the city, the phone remains the most reliable option, especially for reaching the San Pellegrino historic centre (largely a ZTL and pedestrian area) or the Terme dei Papi just outside town.

Taxi from the airport
Roma Fiumicino – Leonardo da Vinci (FCO) · ~105 km from the center
There is no fixed fare for the Viterbo-Fiumicino route (about 100-105 km, over an hour's drive): the cost is calculated on the meter according to the out-of-town tariff, or agreed in advance with Radio Taxi or an NCC (chauffeur) service. It's always worth asking for an estimate when booking. Ciampino airport is an almost equidistant alternative (about 118 km).
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The ZTL Centro Storico (CS) covers the medieval core around via San Lorenzo, via Chigi, piazza del Gesù and the surrounding streets. It is closed to traffic from 19:00 to 6:00 on weekdays and from 10:30 to 6:00 the following day on weekends and public holidays, with electronic gates on via San Lorenzo (from piazza del Plebiscito), via Chigi and ponte del Paradosso. Authorised taxis may pass through for passenger transport services.
Practical tips
- The medieval San Pellegrino historic centre is largely a ZTL and pedestrian zone: if you're staying there, have the taxi drop you at the nearest gate (via San Lorenzo, via Chigi or ponte del Paradosso) and continue on foot to your accommodation.
- To reach the Terme dei Papi (Strada Bagni 12, about 3 km from the centre) it's best to book the taxi in advance, especially in the evening: alternatively, bus line E655 from Porta Romana station gets there in about 10 minutes.
- Viterbo has two separate railway stations, each with its own taxi rank: Porta Fiorentina (Roma Nord/Cotral line towards Piazzale Flaminio) and Porta Romana (FL3 line towards Roma Ostiense); check which station your train arrives at before ordering a taxi.
- Fares are set by the municipal regulations and tariff (available at comune.viterbo.it): for out-of-town routes such as Terme dei Papi, Bagnaia or the airport, it's best to ask for an estimate when booking.
- The old municipal number 0761 340777 is still cited around, but calls are automatically forwarded to Radio Taxi at 0761 1876: it's best to save that number directly.
