BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in La Spezia
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of SP
To book a taxi in La Spezia, call the radio taxi at 0187 523523 or use the appTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In La Spezia the simplest way to find a taxi is to head to one of the official taxi ranks in the city, the main one of which is located in front of the Stazione Centrale on Via Paleocapa, the arrival point for most visitors heading to the Cinque Terre. Alternatively, you can call the Consorzio Radio Taxi La Spezia at 0187 523523, active 24 hours a day every day of the year, or, from July 2026, book through the new "Your Taxi" app launched by the same consortium (44 licences) and connected to the Italian Taxi Network. Other useful ranks can be found in the city centre, at the Ospedale Sant'Andrea and in Migliarina. Unlike the small villages of the Cinque Terre, La Spezia is a proper city, home to the Marina Militare and a very active commercial and passenger port, so the taxi service is more widespread and structured than in the neighbouring towns. The major international ride-hailing apps, on the other hand, still do not have consolidated coverage in the city, apart from indirect access through the ITN network.

Apps to call a taxi in La Spezia
| Uber — In La Spezia, Uber's city pages redirect only to the car rental service (Uber Rent), not to rides with a driver. Uber Black was launched regionally in Liguria in November 2025 through NCC operators, but Uber's official website does not list any city in Liguria among those covered, and there are no confirmed operational drivers specifically in La Spezia. | Not available |
| FreeNow — In Italy, FreeNow is only active in Milano, Roma and Torino, with expansion announced towards Napoli, Catania, Palermo and Cagliari: La Spezia is not among the cities served, nor among those planned. | Not available |
| itTaxi — La Spezia does not appear on itTaxi's official list of covered cities; the website only mentions the possibility of "individual drivers" in areas not organised into a consortium, with no guarantee of coverage. | Not available |
| Wetaxi — Wetaxi's official website shows coverage in Italy's main cities (Torino, Milano, Roma, Napoli) but does not list La Spezia among its active locations. | Not available |
| appTaxi — From 2026, La Spezia can be reached through the roaming of the Italian Taxi Network (ITN), of which appTaxi is a founding member together with BTaxi and TaxiMove: appTaxi confirms on its official blog that customers "travelling in Genova, Sanremo, Savona and La Spezia" can use the ITN ecosystem, which routes requests to the local "Your Taxi" app of the Consorzio Radio Taxi della Spezia. The app's standard coverage page, however, does not yet list La Spezia directly. | Available |
| BTaxi — As a founding member of the Italian Taxi Network together with appTaxi, BTaxi is part of the same roaming that, from 2026, connects La Spezia through the local "Your Taxi" app; La Spezia, however, does not appear in BTaxi's direct list of cities (which includes, for example, Torino, Bologna, Alessandria, Empoli). | Available |

Taxi from the airport
Pisa Galileo Galilei (PSA) · ~80 km from the center
Taxi fare: €200 fixed fare agreed by the Consorzio Radio Taxi La Spezia for Pisa (Genova €250, Firenze €300)
The fixed fares cover the three main airports (Pisa, Genova, Firenze) but should still be reconfirmed when booking by phone, as no published clauses appear to cover luggage or night-time supplements for these out-of-town routes.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre (Corso Cavour, Via del Prione, Piazza Verdi) is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), managed by the Comune della Spezia through resident permits; taxis are generally allowed to pick up and drop off passengers, but for up-to-date hours and permits it is advisable to check the Comune's ZTL page before getting around by private car.
Practical tips
- La Spezia Centrale is the main railway station for reaching the Cinque Terre: right in front of the station, on Via Paleocapa, there is always a staffed taxi rank, handy as soon as you step off the train.
- The Consorzio Radio Taxi La Spezia answers 24 hours a day at 0187 523523; from 2026 the same consortium's local "Your Taxi" app is also available for booking from your smartphone.
- Fixed agreed fares apply for the airports (Pisa €200, Genova €250, Firenze €300): it's worth having them confirmed by phone when booking.
- The historic centre (the Corso Cavour, Via del Prione, Piazza Verdi area) is a Limited Traffic Zone: anyone driving their own car must park outside the zone, while taxis can regularly pick up and drop off passengers.
- As home to the Marina Militare and a very active commercial and cruise port, La Spezia has traffic flows more similar to a mid-sized city than to the villages of the Cinque Terre: at peak times and when cruise ships are disembarking passengers, it's worth booking in advance.
