BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Frosolone
Updated: July 14, 2026 · Province of IS
Frosolone doesn't have a dedicated radio taxi: head to a taxi rank (station, main squares) or book a private transfer.
Frosolone, the renowned "Città dei Coltelli" of Molise, is a village of about 3,000 residents perched in the heart of the Matese: it has no locally licensed taxi service of its own, because the number of rides doesn't justify a fixed taxi rank in such a small municipality. Anyone needing to travel to or from Frosolone therefore relies on licensed cars from nearby towns, chiefly Isernia and Campobasso (about 33 km away, just over half an hour's drive), or arranges a chauffeur-driven hire service (NCC) in advance. During the Mostra Mercato delle Forbici e dei Coltelli, when the village fills up with visitors, it's worth booking the transfer well in advance, as car availability shrinks quickly. For up-to-date information on local transport, you can contact the Comune di Frosolone's central switchboard.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Napoli-Capodichino (NAP) · ~125 km from the center
There is no fixed fare for this route: the journey crosses the Matese on mountain roads, so it's always worth asking an NCC or car-hire company for a quote before setting off, or considering a train/bus to Isernia or Campobasso followed by a local transfer from there.
Practical tips
- Since there is no licensed taxi in Frosolone, it's a good idea to book a car from Isernia or Campobasso ahead of time, especially if you're arriving or leaving on the same day as the knife exhibition.
- The access roads to Frosolone's historic centre are narrow and uphill: tell the driver the exact meeting point (piazza, museum, hotel) to avoid walking stretches with heavy luggage.
- In summer, during the Mostra Mercato Nazionale delle Forbici e dei Coltelli, traffic and parking in the village are more congested: allow for longer waiting times for a transfer.
- For those arriving by air, Napoli Capodichino airport is the most convenient reference point (about 125 km, almost two hours' drive on mountain roads): consider an NCC booked in advance or a rental car.
- Ask for advice at hotels, B&Bs or the Museo dei Ferri Taglienti: they often know informal contacts for local drivers available on request, who aren't registered as official taxis.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a licensed taxi service in Frosolone?
No, there is currently no taxi with its own license operating in the municipality of Frosolone. For a transfer, you need to turn to a taxi from a nearby town, such as Isernia or Campobasso, or to an NCC service that can be booked in advance.
Do ride-hailing apps like Uber or FreeNow work in Frosolone?
No: checks show that none of the main apps (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi, BTaxi, InTaxi) are active in Frosolone. Coverage from these services stops at medium-to-large towns, and small mountain municipalities in Molise are not yet included in their operating areas.
How do you get to Frosolone from Napoli airport?
From Napoli-Capodichino airport, the closest one for those arriving by air, Frosolone is about 125 km away, a journey of almost two hours by car through the Matese. Options include renting a car, an NCC booked in advance, or a train or bus to Isernia or Campobasso followed by a local transfer.
How much does it cost to go from Frosolone to Isernia or Campobasso by taxi?
There is no published fixed fare: the cost depends on the taxi or NCC contacted in the departure town and must be agreed at the time of booking, since the roughly 33 km route does not fall within fixed-fare urban rides.
Is it harder to find a car during the Mostra Mercato dei Coltelli?
Yes: on the days of the event, many visitors arrive and the available cars in nearby municipalities are quickly booked up, so it's advisable to reserve your transfer several days in advance.
