BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Andria
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of BT
To book a taxi in Andria, call the radio taxi at 380 906 2709. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Andria, a town in the BAT area known as one of the "cities of the Federicians" for its proximity to Castel del Monte, taxi service is guaranteed by a single municipal license active 24 hours a day, with a taxi rank in Piazza Bersaglieri d'Italia, in front of the Ferrotramviaria station. Unlike the major Apulian provincial capitals, none of the main ride-hailing apps appear to be operating in Andria: the safest way to get around is to call the taxi service number directly, also listed on the Comune's website, or to write via WhatsApp. Taxi also remains the most practical solution for reaching Castel del Monte, Frederick II's octagonal UNESCO World Heritage castle about 18 km from the city centre, which is not served by frequent public transport. For out-of-town transfers, such as to and from Bari airport, there are no fixed fares: it's always worth asking for a quote at the time of booking.

Apps to call a taxi in Andria
| Uber — Uber does not appear to be active in Andria: in Uber's official list of Italian cities served, only Bari appears for Puglia (where, moreover, only the Uber Black/NCC tier is available, not UberX). Be careful: pages such as "Uber Andria" found online are actually websites of private NCC operators using the name "Uber" for advertising purposes, not the official Uber service. | Not available |
| FreeNow — There is no evidence of operational FreeNow coverage in Andria; the service is concentrated in Italy's major provincial capitals, and even in Bari its presence is reported as limited, so it cannot be considered confirmed in the BAT area. | Not available |
| itTaxi — itTaxi states it has a network of over 87 Italian cities, but Andria and the BAT province do not appear among those covered at the time of verification. | Not available |
| Wetaxi — In 2025 Wetaxi launched a MaaS project with the Comune di Bari, but there are no rides bookable via the app in Andria. | Not available |
| appTaxi — On appTaxi's official coverage page, only Lecce is listed for Puglia: Andria is not among the cities served. | Not available |

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Bari Karol Wojtyła (BRI) · ~50 km from the center
There is no fixed municipal fare for the Bari Airport–Andria route (the fixed fares set by the Comune di Bari only apply to Bari's own neighbourhoods, not to out-of-town destinations such as Andria): always ask the taxi or NCC driver for a quote before setting off, or book the local taxi service or an NCC in advance for an agreed price.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic centre of Andria has a ZTL (limited traffic zone) active every day during the evening/night hours (typically from 9:00 pm to 5:00 am, with variations set from time to time by municipal ordinance, for example during Christmas events), in the area bounded by Piazza Porta la Barra, via F. Orsini, Piazza R. Settimo and the surrounding streets of the old town. Taxis can still enter to pick up and drop off passengers.
Practical tips
- In practice, only a single taxi license operates in Andria: at peak times or for night-time trips it's advisable to book somewhat in advance by calling the service number directly.
- There are no frequent public transport connections to Castel del Monte (UNESCO, about 18 km from Andria): a taxi or a local NCC is often the most practical solution, but it's best to agree on the price before setting off, since there is no published fixed fare.
- No ride-hailing app (Uber, FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, etc.) currently appears to be operating in Andria: rely on a direct phone call or WhatsApp message to the local taxi service.
- The taxi rank is located in Piazza Bersaglieri d'Italia, right in front of the Ferrotramviaria station (Bari-Barletta line): a convenient landmark for those arriving by train.
- For transfers from Bari airport there is no fixed agreed fare for Andria (unlike the neighbourhoods within the Comune di Bari): always ask for a quote before getting in the car.
