In Asti, the easiest way to find a taxi is to head to the taxi rank at piazza Guglielmo Marconi, right in front of the railway station, or to call Radio Taxi Asti at 0141 1585, running every day from 4:30 to 23:30 (for rides outside these hours, it's still possible to arrange the service in advance). The fleet numbers around eighteen vehicles equipped with card payment terminals, which can also be booked through the taxiasti.com website or the SmartTaxi Italia app. Among the sector apps, InTaxi is active in the area, integrating the local radio taxi dispatch under the same number; Uber, on the other hand, does not offer rides with a driver in Asti (only car rental pages), and apps such as FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi (used here only for buses and paid parking), appTaxi and BTaxi do not yet cover the city. Another taxi landmark is piazza Alfieri, in the heart of the historic center, useful to keep in mind during events such as the Palio di Asti or the Douja d'Or, when traffic patterns change significantly.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Torino-Caselle "Sandro Pertini" (TRN) · ~66 km from the center
There is no fixed agreed fare for the Asti-Torino-Caselle Airport route: the price list published by Taxi Asti on its official website only shows metered fares (flag-drop fee, per-kilometer/hourly rate), so for an airport transfer it's best to call 0141 1585 and ask for an indicative quote before setting off, especially for night flights or early-morning departures.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center of Asti has a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) with electronic gates, including the one between piazza Statuto and via Cavour: active Monday to Saturday from 20:30 to 7:30 the following day, and 24 hours a day on Sundays and public holidays. The area includes corso Alfieri, via Rossi, via Martorelli, via d'Azeglio, piazza Alfieri, corso Brofferio, via Cavour, via XX Settembre, via Roero, piazza Statuto and via Q. Sella. Public taxis are generally authorized to enter.
Practical tips
- The historic center is protected by a ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) with electronic gates (corso Alfieri, via Cavour, piazza Statuto and the surrounding streets): active Monday to Saturday from 20:30 to 7:30, and 24 hours a day on Sundays and public holidays. Public taxis are generally authorized, but mention it to the driver if you're getting out right inside the area.
- During the Palio di Asti (the first Sunday in September, with the horse race at 16:00 in piazza Alfieri) the streets around piazza Alfieri and the Campo del Palio are closed to traffic for several days: book your taxi well in advance or rely on the taxi rank at piazza Marconi near the station.
- The Douja d'Or, the Piemonte wine showcase held in early September at the Campo del Palio, brings many visitors to the city: on the weekends of the event, it's advisable to call Radio Taxi Asti (0141 1585) rather than relying solely on the taxi rank.
- For food-and-wine tours through the hills of the Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti wine country (Monferrato astigiano), it's best to arrange an hourly service or a dedicated NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) with the operator in advance, since many wineries are located outside the center and rank taxis don't always cover long out-of-town routes without notice.
- The main taxi rank is at piazza Guglielmo Marconi, right in front of the Asti railway station: it's the most convenient spot for those arriving by train who want to reach the historic center or the Collegiata di San Secondo.
