BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Ivrea
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of TO
To book a taxi in Ivrea, call the radio taxi at 0125 49113. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Ivrea there is no citywide radio-taxi service comparable to that of large cities: the main point of reference is the taxi rank in front of the railway station, on Corso Nigra, reachable by phone at 0125 49113. In the city centre it is also possible to find a taxi waiting at the usual spots, but especially in the evening or on days of heavy traffic it is always best to call ahead. The main ride-hailing apps common in large Italian cities (FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, InTaxi and similar) do not currently appear to be active in Ivrea: the only exception is Uber, which is present but only at the premium Uber Black level and not as a standard taxi. For those arriving by train at Ivrea station, a hub on the Chivasso-Ivrea-Aosta line, it is therefore worth allowing a few minutes' wait at the taxi rank or booking ahead, especially during events such as the Storico Carnevale and the Battaglia delle Arance.

Apps to call a taxi in Ivrea
| Uber — In Ivrea, Uber is available only at the Uber Black level (high-end NCC chauffeur-driven cars): Uber's official city page explicitly warns that the app cannot be used to request a standard taxi in Ivrea, so fares and vehicles are the premium ones, not those of a traditional taxi. | Available |

Taxi from the airport
Torino Airport (Aeroporto di Torino-Caselle "Sandro Pertini") (TRN) · ~35 km from the center
There is no fixed municipal fare for the Ivrea-airport route: taxi or NCC (chauffeur-driven car hire) rides are calculated by taximeter or on a fare agreed with the driver, with an indicative journey time of about 35-40 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre of Ivrea is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) (the area of via Palestro, via Arduino, via Peana and side streets); taxis are generally among the vehicles exempted from traffic restrictions, but for up-to-date hours and access points it is always best to check the ZTL page of the Comune di Ivrea, especially during Carnevale or other major events.
Practical tips
- During the Storico Carnevale di Ivrea and the Battaglia delle Arance (usually between January and February) demand for taxis rises sharply and some streets in the centre are closed to traffic: book well in advance and ask for an alternative meeting point to the usual rank.
- The historic centre is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL): taxis are generally among the vehicles exempted from the restrictions, but it is still useful to give the driver a precise address near the centre's streets to avoid longer routes.
- To visit the Olivetti industrial sites recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (including the former Officine ICO and the Palazzo Uffici) a taxi is convenient because the areas are spread apart and not always well connected by urban buses.
- The Castello di Ivrea, which overlooks the city on the Dora Baltea, is reached uphill from the centre: a taxi avoids the steepest walk, useful with luggage or reduced mobility.
- At Ivrea's FS railway station (Corso Nigra) the taxi rank is the most reliable point of reference for those arriving by train; away from this spot, especially in the evening, it is always best to call before heading out.
