BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Pesaro
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of PU
To book a taxi in Pesaro, call the radio taxi at 0721 454425. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Pesaro the easiest way to get a taxi is to call the Cooperativa Radio Taxi Pesaro (Co.ta.p.) at 0721 454425, active twenty-four hours a day, or head to one of the three city taxi ranks with a direct line: the railway station, Piazza del Popolo and Piazzale Matteotti. The cooperative has 4- and 6-seat cars and 8-seat minivans with published fixed fares for the airports and stations of Romagna, convenient for families and groups. Since 6 May 2025 Uber has also arrived, but only in the Black and Van versions with NCC (licensed private-hire) drivers, while the other major national booking apps do not yet appear to be operating in the city. In the historic center, protected by a ZTL (limited traffic zone) with electronic gates, licensed taxis and NCC vehicles can circulate freely as long as they follow the posted signage. During the Rossini Opera Festival and on summer weekends along the seafront, demand rises sharply, so it's advisable to book somewhat in advance.

Apps to call a taxi in Pesaro
| Uber — In Pesaro only Uber Black (chauffeur-driven sedan) and Uber Van (up to 6 seats) operate, through licensed NCC operators: the service launched on 6 May 2025, making Pesaro the first provincial capital of the Marche region reached by Uber. UberX is not available, nor is booking of traditional taxis via the app, and the fleet is still limited compared to major cities, with possible longer waits on summer weekends. | Available |
| FreeNow — Not active in Pesaro: the app's Italian coverage focuses on major cities (Roma, Milano, Torino, Napoli, Bologna, Firenze and similar) and does not reach the provincia di Pesaro e Urbino. | Not available |
| itTaxi — Pesaro is not among the member cities: the official list includes nearby towns such as Rimini, Riccione, Forlì and Ravenna, but not Pesaro. | Not available |
| Wetaxi — No active rides appear in Pesaro; the service, founded in Torino, covers mainly large urban areas and does not appear among the municipalities of the provincia di Pesaro e Urbino. | Not available |

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Internazionale Federico Fellini di Rimini (RMI) · ~40 km from the center
Taxi fare: No fixed fare is published for the standard 4-seat car, but for the 8-seat minivan the Cooperativa Radio Taxi Pesaro applies official fixed fares: €110 to Rimini Airport and €150 to the Marche Airport in Ancona-Falconara.
The fixed fares published by Radio Taxi Pesaro apply only to the 8-seat minivan; for the single car with 4 or 6 seats, the price is based on the meter, so it's best to ask for an estimate when booking, at 0721 454425. Prices may vary at night or on public holidays, and, if an invoice is requested, 10% VAT (IVA) is applied on journeys over 50 km.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center of Pesaro is protected by a ZTL (limited traffic zone) with electronic gates; taxis and NCC vehicles with a valid license are exempt from the access ban, provided they comply with the traffic signage in force (source: Polizia Locale del Comune di Pesaro).
Practical tips
- During the Rossini Opera Festival (11-23 August 2026) and on summer weekends along the seafront, taxi demand rises sharply: it's best to book the Radio Taxi a few hours in advance, especially after evening performances at Teatro Rossini or Vitrifrigo Arena.
- For a group transfer to the airport, the cooperative applies fixed fares published on its website for the 8-seat minivan (e.g. €110 to Rimini, €150 to Ancona); for the single car, ask for a phone estimate before setting off anyway.
- Licensed taxis and NCC vehicles are exempt from the electronic gates of the historic center's ZTL, so they can drop you off right in front of Palazzo Ducale or Casa Rossini, in the heart of the old town.
- Pesaro's railway station, on the Adriatica Bologna-Ancona line, has the taxi rank just outside, in piazzale Falcone e Borsellino: convenient if you arrive by train from Rimini, Bologna or Ancona.
- Pesaro is known as the 'city of bicycles' thanks to the Bicipolitana, over 100 km of bike paths connecting the center, seafront and beaches: for short trips you can alternate between taxi and bike, especially during summer rush hours when traffic slows down.
