BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Fano
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of PU
To book a taxi in Fano, call the radio taxi at 0721 834016 or use the InTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Fano the most reliable way to find a taxi is to call one of the local radio taxi services, such as Radio Taxi Fano (0721 834016), operating every day from 6:30 to 23:00 with its base at Piazzale della Stazione. There are several fixed taxi ranks around the city, including the railway station, the Pincio bus terminal, and the Ospedale S. Croce, where you can usually find parked cars, especially during daytime hours. The major national ride-hailing apps still have very limited coverage in the Marche region: Uber has been active since 2025 in nearby Pesaro and in Ancona, but only in the Black/Van (NCC, licensed chauffeur) version, with no official confirmation of operation in Fano; the only app with a verified local partner is InTaxi. If you're arriving by train or need a transfer to Rimini airport, it's worth booking your ride in advance, especially on summer weekends along the riviera and during the historic Fano Carnival, when demand for taxis rises significantly.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Internazionale Federico Fellini di Rimini (RMI) · ~55 km from the center
Taxi fare: Fixed-rate ride with Radio Taxi Fano to Rimini airport: 100 EUR (car up to 4 seats)
The fixed rate of 100 EUR quoted by Radio Taxi Fano applies to the route to Rimini "Federico Fellini" airport with a car seating up to 4 people; the same operator also charges 100 EUR for Ancona-Falconara airport. Prices may vary during night-time or public holiday periods: for an exact quote, it's always best to call the radio taxi service before your ride. Fano is also served by the railway station (Adriatic line), convenient for those arriving by train from Rimini or Ancona.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Fano's historic center has an active limited traffic zone (ZTL) covering corso Matteotti, via Bovio, via Arco d'Augusto, piazza XX Settembre and the surrounding streets, with total pedestrianization (no vehicles, including residents, except for emergencies and disabled access) from 19:00 to 24:00; for taxis heading to addresses inside the walls, it is therefore advisable to check the access hours or arrange a meeting point just outside the zone.
Practical tips
- The most convenient taxi rank is at Piazzale della Stazione: it's the reference point for both Radio Taxi Fano and Taxi Fano 1742, and it's also well connected on foot to the historic center and the Arco di Augusto.
- The historic center around corso Matteotti, via Arco d'Augusto and the Corte Malatestiana is a limited traffic zone (ZTL), with a total ban on vehicles from 19:00 to 24:00 in the pedestrianized streets: if you're staying inside the walls, arrange a meeting point with your driver just outside the ZTL.
- During the Fano Carnival (traditionally held on Sundays in February, one of Italy's oldest historic carnivals) the streets of the center are closed to cars for the float parades: book your taxi well in advance and find out about an alternative meeting point.
- In the high summer season, with Fano's beaches and the mouth of the Metauro river very busy, taxis can be in short supply during weekend evening hours: it's better to call ahead rather than look for a free taxi on the street.
- For Rimini airport or Ancona-Falconara airport, always ask for the fixed rate when booking (100 EUR according to Radio Taxi Fano's price list), so you avoid surprises from night-time or holiday surcharges.
Frequently asked questions
How do you call a taxi in Fano?
The easiest way is to call a local radio taxi service directly, for example Radio Taxi Fano at 0721 834016, or go to one of the fixed taxi ranks at Piazzale della Stazione, the Pincio bus terminal, or in front of the Ospedale S. Croce. Alternatively, you can try the InTaxi app, which has Fano's taxi service among its partners.
Does Uber work in Fano?
This is not confirmed. Uber (in the Black/Van version, reserved for high-end NCC/licensed chauffeur cars) has been active in the Marche region since May 2025 in Pesaro and later also in Ancona, but there is currently no official confirmation that coverage extends to Fano: the app may not show any available cars in the city.
How much does a taxi from Fano to Rimini airport cost?
According to the fixed rate quoted by Radio Taxi Fano, the transfer to Rimini's Federico Fellini airport costs 100 EUR for a car with up to 4 people; for larger groups or extra luggage, it's advisable to confirm the price when booking.
Where are the taxi ranks in the center of Fano?
The main taxi ranks are at Piazzale della Stazione (the railway station square), the Pincio bus terminal, and the area around the Ospedale S. Croce; during the Fano Carnival and on summer weekends demand rises sharply, so calling ahead is more reliable than hoping to flag down a free taxi.
