BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Monza
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of MB
To book a taxi in Monza, call the radio taxi at 039 36379 or use the FreeNow app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Monza, the public taxi service is run by a single radio-taxi dispatch, the Cooperativa Radiotaxi Briantea (RadioTaxi di Monza), operating 24 hours a day on 039 36379 — the most reliable option for calling a car in the city and in the towns of Brianza. As an alternative to the fixed taxi stands (the station, Piazza Carducci, San Gerardo Hospital, Villa Reale), you can book through the itTaxi and appTaxi apps, both active in the area, or through FreeNow, which has also offered taxi rides in the city since 2022. For anyone looking for a high-end car with driver, Uber is available, but only in the Uber Black (NCC) version, not the standard taxi. The City of Monza publishes fixed maximum fares for rides to Milano's three airports and for some routes within the city (e.g. station–hospital), which help avoid surprises on the final price.

| FreeNow — Taxi service available since December 2022, when FreeNow extended its coverage to Monza alongside TIER and Dott electric scooter rental (a fleet of about 500 vehicles). Note: at Lombardia's airports, local regulations don't allow taxi drivers to accept rides booked through intermediary apps. | Available |

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Milano Linate (LIN) · ~15.4 km from the center
Taxi fare: Maximum fare Monza–Linate Airport: €50 (fixed agreed fare, set by the City of Monza)
The City of Monza also publishes maximum fares for the other two Milano airports: Malpensa €115 and Orio al Serio (Bergamo) €90. These are maximum, metered-up fares, so it's always worth asking the dispatch center for an estimate before you set off; for Linate, the airport closest to Monza, the taxi remains the most direct option.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Monza's historic center has a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) with 24-hour electronic access control, divided into three areas (Red, Green, Blue) with separate access gates; entry is reserved for vehicles authorized by Monza Mobilità, and the fine for unauthorized access is 80 EUR.
Practical tips
- Save the RadioTaxi di Monza number (039 36379) before you head out: it's the only public dispatch center in the city and answers around the clock, even at night, thanks to its agreement with Taxi Blu Milano.
- During the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix weekend at the Autodromo (usually in September), the roads around Parco di Monza are closed or diverted for park-and-ride lots: book your taxi well in advance and consider meeting points outside the pedestrianized areas.
- For visiting the Duomo (Corona Ferrea) or Villa Reale, the most convenient taxi stand is the one near the Hotel de la Ville, just a short walk from both attractions.
- Monza's historic center has a ZTL that's active 24 hours a day with electronic monitoring: if you have an appointment in the center, check with your driver for the pick-up/drop-off point closest to the access gates.
- For Linate Airport, the closest to Monza, the maximum fare set by the City is 50 EUR: always ask the call center to confirm the price when you book.
Frequently asked questions
How do you call a taxi in Monza?
Just call the single dispatch center of the RadioTaxi di Monza (Cooperativa Radiotaxi Briantea) on 039 36379, active 24 hours a day, or download the appTaxi or itTaxi app, both of which operate in the city.
How much does a taxi cost from central Monza to Linate Airport?
The City of Monza sets a maximum fare of 50 EUR for the ride to Linate, the airport closest to the city (about 15 km away). For Malpensa the cap is 115 EUR, and for Orio al Serio it's 90 EUR — either way, it's always worth confirming the price when you book.
Does Uber work in Monza?
Yes, but only in the Uber Black version: the app doesn't offer standard taxi rides (UberX) in Monza, as stated on Uber's own city page, though you can book a premium chauffeur-driven NCC car.
Where are the taxi stands in the city?
The main taxi stands are in Piazza Carducci, in front of Monza railway station, at San Gerardo Hospital (Via Solferino / Nuovo Ospedale area), and near Villa Reale, by the Hotel de la Ville.
Is it harder to find a taxi during the Monza Grand Prix weekend?
Yes: during the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix (usually in September), the area around Parco di Monza and the Autodromo is closed to private traffic, and park-and-ride lots with dedicated shuttles are set up. Taxis can still access the permitted zones, but demand rises sharply, so it's best to book your ride in advance through the call center or app.
