BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Campobasso
Updated: July 8, 2026 · Province of CB
To book a taxi in Campobasso, call the radio taxi at 320 355 8474. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Campobasso, the regional capital of Molise, does not have a large radio taxi dispatch like the more populous cities: the service is provided by a number of licensed drivers who can be contacted by phone, including Taxi Campobasso by Antonio Ruggiero and Campobasso Taxi by Michele Testa. Since 10 September 2025 Uber has also arrived, but for now only in the Uber Black version (a chauffeur-driven NCC service bookable via app), while the integration with the traditional taxi service announced by the company is not yet active. Since there is no airport in the city, those arriving by plane usually land at Napoli Capodichino, about 114 km away, and need to arrange the transfer in advance. The historic centre is also protected by a ZTL (limited traffic zone) with electronic gates active at set times, a detail worth mentioning to the driver when booking.
